I LOVE THESE SMILES
Raymond goes to his second week of Nursery at church today! I have to admit I am a little bit giddy. He is very hard to keep quiet and contained for 3 hours so getting him off to nursery will be wonderful… hopefully he adjusts quickly, I know Ben and I will 🙂
It’s official – we have started down a long road of cub scouts! Benji is 8. He is in the wolf Den. He had his first Pack Meeting and earned his first Belt Loop Award! We are excited. The scouting program is right up his alley. I think he will really thrive on it and enjoy completing the requirements.
Ben and I are the Wolf Den Leaders. We will get to be with Benji and meet all of the boys his age that live really close to us. We have both been Wolf Leaders before so I think we have the book memorized and are excited to work with these boys. Our first pack meeting was a bike rodeo – our kids learned to ride their bikes just in time and they all had fun…
Cali was so excited to go back to school. She has a December birthday and she would love to be starting Kindergarten but is to young. She is going back to the preschool that she did last year so she already knows her teachers and loves them. Thursday was her first day and she asks me every day if it is a school day. She is very motivated to learn all of her letters and she likes to try and write things on her own.
 I love how the younger siblings always want to be in on the back to school pictures. Any other day you can’t get them to stand in the same place but on school day everyone wants their picture taken. Mia is in Cali’s class again so it will be nice to have them together and being next door is wonderful for carpool. Cali filled out her all about me paper and said that her favorite food is cheese pizza, color is green and blue and pink and purple, loves to ride her bike and play princesses and play with cousins, doesn’t like chores and being scared of the dark, and she wants to be a cheer leader-doctor-ambulance driver when she grows up! I think she’s going to learn a lot at preschool this year. I haven’t always been a fan of preschool but for Cali’s personality it is great.
Back to School!
Benji started 3rd grade on Tuesday. He has Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Long as his teachers.
Packer started first grade and he has Mrs. Myntti.
The boys were both excited for school to start. They are A track this year so they start at 8:00 and get out at 2:15. They LOVE stopping by the cousins and walking with Luca and Lalo.
Benji and Packer stayed up late anticipating the first day of school. They like to share a bed and stay up talking. They are good friends and I love watching them interact and be brothers. The first week went smoothly and they came home excited each day. Packer is not a big lunch eater but Benji is. This week the homework starts so we’ll see how that works out. All in All it was a good Back To School week!
Lets do Funny Pictures
are they closing their eyes on purpose!
