Best games of the season

We had basketball at 10am and soccer at 2:15pm.  The girls did amazing at both games. Ava had several break aways at basketball and scored 5 shots.  Grace was a beast on offense and deffense. She scored 3 shots.
Soccer was a great game for all the girls on the team. Several had their best game of the season. Ava scored a goal for us and Grace, the goalie, stopped all the goals and had some fierce goal kicks.
Seriously, this was the day to come watch them because there wasn't a meltdown or injury or sleepiness. It was just two girls playing like they've played their whole life. One proud momma!

New Sheriff in town!!

Girls school's annual hoe down was tonight. We had so much fun. Derek volunteered to run the Jail so he was sheriff for the night. I chased the girls the whole night.  They ate nachos and hot dogs then hit up the bake sale to buy brownies and cake pops. They loved the blow up tunnel, rock climbing and photo booth. It's a couple hours and all the kids love it. Derek said the jail was a hit!  I think his tight jeans were rockin!  In photo booth pics, Ava is with Addison Summers and Manuela.

Hardwood floors - DUST DUST and more DUST!

I can't believe September is almost gone!  This year has been so fast.  Right now, I'm sitting upstairs watching season premiere shows on a TV that doesn't have DVR.  How did we live like this?  haha!  I'm such a snob.  Why am I upstairs you ask?  Well, we are finally getting hardwood floors and my downstairs is a MESS!!!  All my downstairs furniture is in my garage.  It's been a little crazy these last few days but soon it'll be over and all worth it.  Wood floors everywhere downstairs (minus bathrooms and laundry room).  No more carpet and no more travertine in the kitchen or entryway.  YEAH!!!!
Here are photos of the process.  I'll post before and after pics once its all done.

Day 1 - I came home after the gym and everything was moved into the garage.

 No more carpet anywhere.  Tile still there but soon it would be gone.

My bedroom with no more carpet.

Want to know where my bed is....in my bathroom.  So convenient in the morning! :)

Got home after running errands (still Day 1) and they had ripped up the tile in the entry and hallway.

  

Still Day 1 - they nailed down the plywood in my room and closet.

  

Derek's office - no more carpet.  Plywood nailed down and in the closet too.

Day 2 - the girls having breakfast upstairs at their little table because we don't have any furniture downstairs.  They LOVED it!  I made blueberry muffins and we had a picnic upstairs.

I came home around 1pm today and plywood was being laid in the LR, entry and hall to my bedroom.

  I could barely get the backdoor open to come into the kitchen because "debris" was EVERYWHERE!  They got the tile in the kitchen, pantry, breakfast nook and little hall to Derek's office all torn up.  My fridge, cabinets and pantry are all taped up so we moved into Emi's for dinner.

That is dust on the countertops.  I have a green granite.  That is insane.

 We got home from soccer practice, the destroyed tile had been cleaned up.  They'll start prepping this tomorrow!!  They had plywood down in the LR, entry and hall to my bedroom too.

 The girls examining the work.  They had to see if they could lift the buckets of heavy crushed travertine.  ha!

The wood is laid out to start tomorrow!!!  OMG!!  Notice the gymnastic thinks its her beam.

Girls wanted to show off the plywood.  They think this is the end result.  So cute!  Just wait!!

First week of first grade

Happy second day!  If you know Grace, then you have seen this pout face. I am glad I caught her in all her glory. 

Day 3. Definitely settling in to first grade.

 

Day 4.  We walked to school this morning. Well, I walked and they scooted.  

Day 5.  First week is over and we had a great one. Huge difference from last year.  I didn't receive one call from the school about meltdowns or behavior issues.  Amazing week for the Scott girls.  

Love our new teachers!!! They ROCK!!
