August and September have been busy getting adjusted to starting school and sports. It's really nice having everyone at the same school this year and everyone has been doing great.
Our washer and dryer have needed to be replaced for a while now, so we finally bit the bullet the other day and bought new ones. The kids were excited to ride the carousel in the middle of the mall once our purchase was complete.
A while ago Patrick and I bought a cooking class package at an auction and finally cashed it in before it expired. We invited three couples we enjoy spending time with and had the best night together cooking and eating. We love auctions and their opportunity to allow us to do some fun things we ordinarily wouldn't be able to do, or don't even know exist!
Scarlett liked gymnastics last year, but this sweet girl is a ballet dancer at heart and needs to be on the stage! She was over the moon a few weeks ago to start a ballet and tap class. The teacher said she's never seen a child more excited for ballet! She didn't even put her heels down the entire class!
We have been stepping up our pancake game lately, this morning it was rainbow pancakes!
We LOVED watching the olympics, especially the gymnastics. One day at gym they had an olympic banner you could take your picture with!
I organized a volleyball team made up of Caroline's friends this year so they can build some skills before the school season starts in 5th grade. The are called Sugar and Spike and had their first game this morning and did great! It's going to be a great season!
We are excited that the weather is starting to cool down, football season is back, and we have lots of fun weekends coming up!
Scarlett did so great on her coloring!
