Kindergarten is a Hit!


This goofball is loving Kindergarten.  In true Little Guy style he says he can't remember what he did during the day, but he loved it. 
I loved his apple and worm.

He's lately been only doing "scribble scrabble" for coloring, because he can't be bothered with details and wants to get it done.

Cactus Pear

 We tried a new fruit - the cactus pear.  We cut off the skin and tried it.  Nobody liked it.  Hahaha.  I think the hard seeds were a turn off and honestly, it didn't have much flavor.  E for Effort though, right?

Date Nights

This month I took Little Lady out on a Mommy/Daughter date.  She wanted to play mini-golf and then get dessert at I AM (a shaved ice place).  We both definitely need to brush up on our putting skills. 

She proclaimed the Oreo shaved ice as amazing!

Little Man had a date night with his dad.  He got dessert and they brought it home to binge watch "Stranger Things."  They only made it through 2 episodes, but now they're both hooked.

do.Good Stitches

 For August and September we made Crosscut Blocks.  The 2 for August used low volume backgrounds with bright rainbow colors for crosses.  The 2 for September used gray backgrounds and blue and green colors for crosses.  I like these blocks.

The Season Has Begun

Little Man has started Cross Country, and Little Lady has started Volleyball.  It's so fun to watch them improve and grow in their sport of choice.

A Year Late

Because of restrictions with Covid I never got a picture of the kiddos with their teacher last year.  During Open House we ran in and had BB and Little Lady get a quick picture.  It's a bit late, but it's better than never.

Kindergarten!!!

Since Little Guy had one extra day with his Momma I took him to My Play Cafe.  It's meant for 0-5 years old.  I couldn't help but chuckle, because Little Guy played for about 20 minutes, and then he told me he was ready to go home.  Yep.  He's all grown up and ready for school.

The day has finally come - look out, World!  Little Guy is officially in Kindergarten.

First Day Success

All the kiddos were happy with their first day of school.  Little Guy even had an hour long orientation of Kindergarten that he really liked.  We met dad after dinner at Betty Rae's for our celebratory 1st day of school ice cream.

I got a little chuckle over how quickly tastes change as the kiddos grow.  Little Guy's flavor choice was Cotton Candy and Little Man's choice was Creme Brulee.

Last Hurrah

School starts tomorrow, so we decided to have one last water day.  We went to the Olathe Splashpad in the morning and then headed over to our last swim lesson from there.  BB was at soccer camp the last time, so he was excited to come for the first time. 

I seriously wish I had the energy of my boys.  Their feet barely ever tough the ground!
Little Lady was a sweet big sister and helped Little Guy travel through the entirety of the stream.  She held his hand and they made it all the way up the waterfall.
The only downer of the day is that Little Man slipped and landed hard on his knees in the stream, and he bruised up his kneecap.  It's putting his first day of Cross Country practice into question, so he's not very happy about that.  Hopefully, it will heal quickly, but right now he's having a hard time bending it. 
Little Guy has made huge swimming strides this Summer.  He's now jumping in the deep end of the pool!  He likes to jump into the "ring of fire!"

We love Mrs. Sara so much!
