This will be a short and sweet update with a little bit of this and that. We have finally settled into our back to school and activities routine. We are staying busy between softball and Girls Scouts for Hannah, soccer for Evan and gymnastics for all three.
We are also trying to soak up every last bit of summer. I do enjoy Fall, but I am not looking forward to winter. I do not like to be cold and my kids do not like to wear a lot of clothes or shoes for that matter and they do much better when they can just run around outside. For now we have beautiful weather and are soaking it up.
A little Kona Ice at First Friday a few weeks ago
We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and did a lot of swimming, went for a boat ride and hung out with friends.
The kids wanted to sun bathe and had a picnic after church......
I took the kids to the Neighborhood Market to get a few things and Evan grabbed a big pack of Hot Dogs. Hannah walked over to tell him we can't have those and while she was there she saw a package that said Wieners on it and read it out loud. Evan just kept repeating Wieners, Wieners and was cracking himself up. Then Nora started jumping up and down and chanting Wieners. There was an older lady in the aisle watching all of this and she told me that we should have our own TV show. Haha!
That same morning at the Farmers Market they had a little spinning wheel and depending on the number you landed on you had to answer a question about your family. Nora's question was how many siblings she has and she got it right and won a sucker. Evan's question was what do you like most about your mom and he just stood there and didn't answer. He finally said that she is nice. As soon as we walked away he said "What if I would have said she wipes my butt?" and started cracking himself up again. I am glad he did not give that answer.
Hannah has been practicing her French braid on me.
A little after school picnic in the driveway
Hannah had school pictures last week and she wanted her hair straightened. She looks so grown up with her straight hair.
It was perfect ice cream weather
And while we were eating ice cream and enjoying the sun the city was working on this......
putting up Christmas lights. What??????
After eating some ice cream we went for a little swim, but Hannah didn't want to get her straightened hair wet, so she found a shower cap.
Then a few minutes later she changed her mind and went all in. Nora found the shower cap and put it on.
And her bathing suit was on backwards, but she wouldn't let me help her
Nora and Evan were fighting over a scooter yesterday. Nora wanted to ride it, but Evan had it, so she just started stomping her feet and saying "It's mine, I got it for my birthday". We have no idea where she got that from. That scooter was definitely not a birthday present.
Evan finally had his first soccer game last weekend. He has been so excited to play. He has asked us to bring a piece of paper and a pen to keep score (since they don't keep score at his age). Hannah took her job pretty serious and made a score board
She kept track of the teams scores, Evan's goals, out of bounces and "hurts".
He looked so cute in his uniform and played great. He scored 9 goals. He is really into soccer right now.
Scott and I went to the Razorbacks game on Saturday afternoon. We haven't been in several years, so it was fun to get out and go.
The Hogs lost, but it was still a fun afternoon.
