CLASS of 2025

Can you believe it....the class of 2025 is starting first grade!  This year is the year the uniforms kick in.  I must say I LOVE the idea of uniforms.  Believe or not, 

Dawson does too!  

Our picture as we walked out the door and headed to our first day of first grade!

One more picture...I grabbed a quick Iphone photo as they lined up in morning care.  She was all smiles as she headed off to her new classroom.  We are off to a great start!

Annual Movie Night

Movie night....perfect weather, 10 kids, parents and a viewing of the Little Mermaid = tons of fun!

Everyone laid out their blankets and got ready for the movie.  I can't even tell you how excited everyone was to watch a movie outside.  Some friends have done this with us before and others were new!

We had a small, free concession stand which included: pizza, popcorn, candy and juice boxes.  It was quite busy all night long.   Dawson even requested a short intermission so all the kids could stock up on the snacks!  

As you can see, the kids didn't sit through the whole movie....some were watching from the swing set and others from inside the jumpy house.  They were all over the place!

At the end of the movie, the big girls loaded YOUTUBE videos and our night became a dance party.  These two decided to be the D.J.'s for the night!

Tubing Anyone?

 We have had a lot of rain and cooler weather this summer but, between all the clouds, we jumped in the car, grabbed a few friends and ventured down to the lake.  No one ever said you had to have sun to go tubing!

We tied this big floating raft to the dock and the kids played on it for hours.  The water is about 6 feet deep at our dock so no one could touch.  It makes jumping off the dock a ton of fun!!!

They got on it and off it all day long in between tubing!

 At times, they just sat and rested.

Other times, they played king of the inner tube.    

 These two were ready to go tubing just about every minute of the day.   I did take a break driving the boat to get a bottle of water and one of the kids said "is 15 minutes a long enough break for you?"   That made me laugh.   

 The best part of being at a lake house is having your friends with you all day long!

 

 My fearless tuber!

 Dawson can not wait to get back to the lake to do some more tubing.  Maybe the sun will come out before school starts?
