Keeping up with the "K"lubines: Summer Break Wrap Up

Well, summer break is over and kids are back in school. Hannah has had a great first week of school and I think she will have a fantastic year. She has a wonderful teacher and several friends in her class.

We conquered our summer break and did a lot of fun things. I was not ready for summer break to end yet, but I am starting to see that a little bit more of a routine will be good for all of us. We have all been really tired in the afternoons this week, so it will just take us a little bit longer to get used to school days again.

Here is a little bit more of our summer break.

I came across some pictures from our s'mores night when my mom was in town

One of our first boat rides of the season. All three kids love the lake.

While Hannah was at Girls Scout Camp Evan and I built a little obstacle course in the Hallway. You had to cross the "laser beams" without touching.

Evan loved it.

Hannah had a sleepover with Eve to watch the new Descendants 2

While Hannah was at her sleepover I took Evan and Nora to The Station for breakfast. They both love breakfast foods.

Apparently Evan was really hungry.....he ate a lot of that food on his plates

Hannah still loves to do the limbo. She saw this girl on Americas Got Talent that limboed under a car and she was so impressed that she has been practicing a lot.

She used our Fort Magic kit to build herself a limbo contraption......

Evan is really into soccer this year, so we decided to drive up to Kansas City to go to a Sporting game. We had so much fun. The atmosphere was great and I felt a little bit at home. KC played Chicago and they have Bastian Schweinsteiger on their team, so it was fun to see him play. The game ended 3:2 for Kansas City, so it was a great game for the kids, because we got to see a lot of goals.

Nora didn't get into the game as much as the other two, but overall she still did great

Evan starts soccer tomorrow. He has been so excited that he started a countdown calendar several week back.

The kids made their own board game with Morgan.

I think it is so creative and fun. Evan is always wanting to make or create something. He has lots and lots of ideas.

I love this board game. I played a round with Nora the other day and we had so much fun with it.

Here is a picture of the game board. You have to draw a card and do what it says on the card in order to move forward. You get to move to the space that has the same color as the card you picked from he pile.

We are using little toys as our game pieces.

Here are some of the game cards

Play hide and seek, Act out a Story, Dance to Shake it Off, Tell a Knock Knock joke, Jump up and down 15 times, Sing Happy Birthday etc.....

A few weeks ago was finally the time for the Color of Hope Gala benefitting the Children's Hospital. This was my 4th year working on the committee and as always the event was a lot of fun and a big success!
