Catch up time

We have had so much fun during this first month of Kindergarten, we have neglected the blog.  We'll do our best to catch you up now.

Here is Kate's first homework assignment: a collage containing her "favorite things".  

Mom comes to have lunch with me on Fridays and I really like it.  After lunch she reads a book to my class and that's pretty cool, too.

We celebrated the end of the first week of Kindergarten with our first trip to Deep Eddy.  It was cold and awesome.

Labor Day Weekend means the Fayette County Fair!  Here are Teagan, Bailey and me at the parade.

Superman and Luke taking a break.

I officially learned to tie my shoes on September 10, 2013!  It was so liberating!

And I am learning to cook.  Here I am sauteeing some squash for dinner.

Another Friday lunch picture with Mom.  I think it makes her day, too.

We had a visitor last Friday: an African box turtle! 

Westlake vs. A&M Consolidated!

The neighborhood gang all sat together.  Me, Simone, Perry and Reagan.

That Sunday we went to visit Mimi in La Grange with Avery and Dax.  She let us push her all around.

My first Kindergarten playdate!  Lilly Jane and Anna are my buddies from Mrs. Thornhill's class.

Luke and I take time to pose before walking to the bus stop in the morning.

The perfect fall Saturday morning.  Hot chocolate and fall crafting.

Aggie football watch party at the McEwans awesome new house.

Jacket weather!  Luke and I walking home from the bus stop this morning.

Bubble bath funnies.

Blackjack fun with the Robbs.

Swinging at the park.

Biking at the park.

Kate is so very helpful.

He-Man and She-Ra are all the rage around here.  Aunt Amy sent us this awesome t-shirt.

Loving on Willie.

Game day apparel

Lunch with Daddy.

The rest of Kindergarten week one

Luke started swim at Emler on Monday!

Here is the Kindergartener just off the bus after her first day.  The smile says it all.

And then we headed to ballet.

On the bus with Simone!

Home!  Day 3.

Super hero theme for day 4.

And a fun little hike to the bus stop.

Waiting for Kate's bus.  

Luke's first day of school

Luke started back to Town and Country on Tuesday.  He is still insistent on the boots and shorts look, so we are going with it.  He will be in Ms. Leti's class and will go three days a week.  I can't wait to see what kind of trouble we can get into on those other two days!

Kate's first day of school

So ready!

Luke NEEDED to be in a few.  He gets to stay home with me today, though.

Proud Mom.

Proud Dad.

Off to the bus stop!

We have a fun bus stop.  The Dudleys and the Gaskamps are our bus stop buddies.

Waiting.....

The bus is here!  This is when Mom and Dad got some tears in their eyes.  I saw them and pretended not to notice.

A kiss for my poor mom.  She is going to miss me.

Following Ryan, my bus buddy!

I think these two might both be missing me today.

The big day is here!!  I am off to Kindergarten.  I woke up bright and early this morning at 6:40 and I looked at my mom and said, "This is the best day of my life.  I start Kindergarten and I start dance."  I had french toast and strawberries for breakfast and then took a shower and got dressed in my new school clothes.  Then I posed for a few pictures and headed down the street to the bus stop where my friend Simone was already waiting.  We hung out for about 10 minutes before the bus came and as soon as I saw it, I was ready to go!  I'll report back at the end of the day to let y'all know how it went!
