My Money Makers

While my parents and brother were away in Hawaii for a couple of weeks {waayyyyy back in September}, the girls helped them out by taking over a few of their jobs.  Sydney was in charge of Peyton while he stayed with us and Olivia was in charge of watering trees and plants at some of Poppy's clients' houses!

Both girls did such an AMAZING job with their duties.  Sydney was SO sweet with Peyton...she fed him, loved him, and even slept with him the entire time e was here.  Olivia took her job seriously and had her clipboard and checklist each time we went out!

Miscellaneous August

I need to blog Sydney's birthday and her birthday party, but before I do that, here are some random things that happened in August!

➹ Poppy had been promising the girls some fish for quite awhile, so one Friday, he surprised them with them! ➹

➹ We celebrated Reese's second birthday with a fun party at Peter Piper Pizza! ➹

➹ We celebrated Brooklyn's 6th birthday at Skateland!  I was SO proud of both of these girls.  It is not easy learning to skate and these girls were so tough.  At one point, I was helping Zach because he didn't have a little roller to help him, and so Sydney went on by herself. When I asked her if she wanted help, she said, "I'm not a baby, and I'm going to PROVE it!" She didn't take any help the whole time! We celebrated with a trip to Sweetie's! ➹

➹ Liv lost a tooth while eating an ice cream cone at Basha's! It was the EASIEST tooth removal to date!  She has another loose one now and is milking it for all she can! ➹

➹ The girls said goodbye {for now} to one of their favorite dance teacher's.  She had her baby boy on Labor Day! ➹

➹ Dress up is our FAVORITE!➹

➹ PHEW, we made it!  Thanks for sticking with us! ➹

Thursdays With Poppy

When Olivia was in Pre-K, my dad would pick her up every Thursday and take her out for ice cream. Now that Sydney is in Pre-K, it is her turn for the ice cream dates with Poppy!

Poppy was in Hawaii last week, so I HAPPILY took over this duty! ;) 

LOVE this tradition!

Eight Weeks In

It is SO hard to believe that we are EIGHT weeks into the school year!  It's definitely hard going back to school in July, but I LOVE having 2 1/2 weeks off come October!

Here are a few pictures from the girls' first few weeks of school!

➹ Red week was a favorite of mine!  #gohoosiers ➹

➹ Love these two sweet friends!!! ➹

And, I just love this picture.... Everyone in Olivia's class has a job, and they all get paid for their jobs.   The classroom has a little store where they can buy candy or little toys.  For the most part, Olivia saves her money, and when she does spend it, she spends it on coupons for things like sitting in the comfy chair or reading to her kindergarten teacher's class.  :)
