Little Cheer Camp

Little cheer camp was different this year because of Covid, but Natalie still had a lot of fun. They learned the cheers on Saturday, but they performed for the parents tonight instead of at the football game on Friday because they are limiting the number of people in the stands at the football games this year. 

First Day of School!

Natalie and Max both had a great first day of school! They both woke up early this morning and were ready to go with time to spare. We have been nervous about how school would look and feel during the pandemic, but they said the masks and new rules were no big deal. We're looking forward to another great day tomorrow!

Last Day of Summer

We celebrated the end of summer with ice cream at the Burger Garage tonight. We are all sad to see this summer break come to an end. Natalie and Max have been home with us all day every day for almost six months, and we got into a really great groove. We were talking about school starting tomorrow, and Emma told me, "I don't like to miss Natalie and Max." We're all going to miss them, but we're also excited to see what this school year brings. 

Lately

Summer, don't go! We have been spending our afternoons outside by the inflatable pool trying to soak up the last bit of summer break. 

Isabel wore her first ponytail yesterday! I'll have to get a better picture of it soon, but this one with Max's arm around her is too sweet. 

We made smooth play dough out of conditioner and corn starch. The big kids played with it for a long time, and we all smelled like strawberry conditioner afterwards. Double win.

Mama

Emma loves to play babies. Three babies come along with us to get the mail these days. She carries one on her back, one in the car seat, and one in the stroller.

Our Day

Today was such a fun day. We biked around town in beautiful weather this morning and stopped for a snack and lots of pictures by the fountain at Lake Vista. Then this tub of rice entertained Emma for the entire afternoon. By the end of the day she was lying in the tub trying to bury herself in the rice. That bag of rice might be the best $4 toy I've ever purchased.
