Tommy

    No Comments

    Millie came home from the first day of Kindergarten talking about this kid named Tommy. She still talks about him and plays with him at recess. She even worked her way into going to his house after school one day and then having him over for a little bit.

    The kicker is that she changed all of her birthday plans so that Tommy could come and would have fun! She decorated with LOL stuff and had an LOL cake but she wanted everything else to be stuff the boys would like – obstacle course and treasure hunt!

    Nettesheim vs Hancock, Backyard Kickball! We had a fun evening at the Hancocks. We ended up playing kickball and had all the kids involved. It was great. The best part was definitely my 2 in the park homers by kicking it inside the trampoline net! so much fun and only a few tears.

    Benji is playing soccer again. He is the big 9th grader now and HE SCORED A GOAL in his first game! He’s got a lot of young little guys on his team this year so it’ll be a different season than the last! We headed out for celebratory ice cream but we ended up with dinner after a long day of soccer games!

    GO Tiger Pride!

    Millie is out there with all of her friends! She is having fun so far. She loves the social and the treats but she is also getting into the game a little. No goals yet but she is in it and paying attention so it is a win.

    COACHing

    No Comments

    SO here is our set up. Ben is coaching 4 teams. Benji on Mondays 4:30-6:00, Rose on Tuesdays 4:30-5:30, Millie on Wednesdays 4:30-5:30, Ray on Thursdays 4:30-5:30. I go over with the kids and the equipment at 4:15 and get set up and Ben gets there at 4:30 to coach. It’s been hot and busy but kind of fun too. Sometimes the kids like to go to each others practices. We all like to go to Millie’s practice.

    I thought I’d maybe want to coach Millie’s team BUT I’m just not feeling it. I’m kind of warn out with little kids by the afternoon and I kind of see how good Ben is at it – He is a natural and he has a million and 2 games in his back pocket to use as needed. He really is the best . Especially with these younger teams. So I am doing my part with setup and getting Cali to her practices and putting dinner on the table and letting Ben continue to ben THE COACH.

    Bike Riding

    No Comments

    Millie has been out practicing her bike every day of September. She has gotten pretty good at it and has even mastered the driveway. She really just took off on labor day. I didn’t have to run with her or watch her fall – she was READY.

    Her ultimate goal is riding her bike to school but I am not a fan of that so we’ll see if I cna make her forget 🙂

    Tiago is getting better at the training wheels and loves to be out trying to keep up with the big kids.

    1st Day of Preschool

    Finding 3 things that describe Tiago and then we did lots of pre – preschool posing! Tiago was full of poses and funny faces. He was excited to go and completely comfortable. It is the same house that we took Millie to all last year and it is his primary teachers so it was no biggie for this guy.

    It was fun to see him be a big kid and he was all smiles when I picked him up. Now I need to plan some amazing 2 hour breaks that I’ll be getting 3 times a week!
