Time Marches On

 

August 17 was Kate’s first day of 1st grade.  She has a wonderful teacher and is enjoying being back at school with her friends.  On her first day at school, Lincoln looked at me and said, “Well, now what do we do?”  (Kate is fairly bossy, but he has quickly adapted to doing as he pleases again.)  When we left Kate in the gym, Creighton thru a kicking and screaming fit because he wanted to stay too.  So, yet again, our first day of school was not drama free.  If you don’t remember that story, go to the 2011 August Archives.

Mom K, Kate, and Creighton all have birthdays in August, so we celebrated with Culver’s, cake, and presents one Sunday.

One morning, we were getting ready for church.  I walked back into our room and found Creighton with a leftover bowl of popcorn (that had been in the kitchen) and the ipad.

This past weekend, we had the opportunity to spend approximately 24 hours with our good friends, Shannon and Susan in Missouri.  The kids enjoyed:

Playing with kittens (this gray kitten was very patient)

And Much More Fun!  Thank you, Shannon and Susan, and kids, for a wonderful time!!

Sunday we visited Mike’s grandparents at the nursing home, followed by dinner at Busy Corner, but I forgot my camera.  =( 

This morning, Lincoln started back to preschool.  He had to make a poster of things “All About Me.”  (yes, he did go to school dressed like that….it’s just not worth the agony…I did ask if he thought his clothes matched and he said, “yes, my boots match my shirt.”  There you have it.)  =)
