Happy Family

Tonight we had a designated family night. The kids helped us make pasta salad and hot dogs. They even wore their new, adorable aprons I got at the Dollar Store a few weeks ago. After dinner, it was Wii Bowling and Boxing. It was a blast and much needed!

Fire It Up

During our summer break from MOPS, we've been having playdates a few times a month. Last week, we visited a Fire Department in Cary. One of the moms, Karri, even got to dress up in full uniform. All 40 pounds of it! Of course, the fire truck was a big hit.

Garden Party

We finally have a cucumber from our garden!! This is the very first veggie we've ever been able to eat that was grown in our own backyard. We are all very excited and can't wait to eat it!

Ben 10

Keaton's new passion is Ben 10. I bought a white T-shirt for $1 and used my clothing paint to make him his own Ben 10 shirt. He was so excited! I'm pretty sure this will also be his Halloween costume.

Diving for Hearts

Juniper went to a pool party last weekend. Their diving board was a big hit. Caught this great action shot!

Games People Play

Went to an estate sale with my dad a few weeks ago and found a gorgeous wooden chess set for $10. Juniper and David play it often and we've been wanting to get a nicer (not plastic) chess set. I'm sure Keaton will be playing with them soon.

Back to School

Juniper started her first day of 2nd grade today. She was so excited this morning and said she had a great first day. Hard to believe a year from now, Keaton will be getting on the bus with her!
