Say What!

Today while driving home from picking up Kennedy from school she was chatting away about her morning. Today was show-and-share so she took one of Mason's Apes. Here is a portion of our conversation:

Kennedy: "Mom is this mine?"

Me: "Is what yours?"

Kennedy: "This"

Me: "Kennedy you have to say what it is."

Kennedy: "What it is!"

Skate Park/Paris Gibson Park

Yesterday we took the kids to Paris Gibson Park. Mason has been asking all summer long to go to the skate park and I kept putting it off thinking for sure he would break his arm or something! He was so excited and I was equally nervous! George decided it was time to "make" Trevan learn how to ride his bike. Mason checking out the action, deciding where to ride.

Kennedy enjoying the show!

Mason really enjoyed all the hills, he did try the bowl type areas but they were very crowded.

This is George's idea of teaching Trevan how to ride his bike! Not really!

This is really how it was done. Trevan is so funny, he can ride for a long time by himself, until he realizes you are no longer holding on, then he freaks out!

First Days of School

This post is a little late in happening but better late then never! All three kids are now officially in school. Mason is a third grader this year and finding out that it is much tougher than the past few grades. He has a wonderful teacher who is big into Math. Trevan started Kindergarten and is loving it. He comes home everyday with a hand stamp which lets the parents know they behaved very well. He started school the same day as Mason, which is a little unusual seeing as how everywhere else we have lived Kindergarten has started a week later that the rest of the school. Kennedy is back in preschool and is so excited to see her friends again. She has new teachers this year and is excited about going. Kennedy, August 31, 2009 her first day of school.

Mason and Trevan, August 26, 2009 before they were forced to ride with me to school. They really wanted to ride the bus but putting Trevan on the bus on his first day of school was impossible for me.

Mason already working hard first thing that morning.

Trevan and his teacher Mrs. Orr. What a fun morning we all had, up until it was time for me and Kennedy to leave the school! Yes, I cried, and No I didn't think that I would since he is the second child to start school.
