First day of 3rd grade!

Drew started the 3rd grade today. Mrs. O'Hare and Mrs. Brown are his teachers although Mrs. O'Hare (seen above) is his homeroom teacher. Mrs. O'Hare is for math, science and spelling and Mrs. Brown is for reading, language arts and social studies. The picture above and below are from Meet the Teacher night where me and Dakota went with Drew (David was down and out with a sinus infection) to sort his supplies and see his classroom too. 

 Drew diligently labeled all of his folders and notebooks.

 and new backpack.

 Kids wanted a picture with Drew too. Dakota was inside the house. At about 11:30 today, Dilan asked if we were on our way to pick up Drew. She already missed him and so did I!

Drew said his first day was GREAT! He loved it and can't wait to go back tomorrow. He helped bring lunchboxes down to the cafeteria and when they switched classes in the afternoon, he wanted to sit "at the boy table" which was where all his friends were. But he decided he would get in trouble there so he sat at a different table. Sure enough his friends got in trouble. Our big kid is already making good choices in 3rd grade! Favorite part of the day: "Everything!" :)

Little Elm Lake

We headed over to the Little Elm Park that is just in the town over from us where they have a small beach. The kids really enjoyed it and it was really hot. We got very dirty but it was fun to be there with friends and play. Even though we've stayed in Texas this summer and had more of a "staycation," it was the best summer we've had so far. My goal was  for Drew to not say the words, "I'm bored," once and he didn't say it once. :)

 Dilan was having a blast in the water along with her fruit snack

 My handsome big kid spent a lot of time digging a trench with his friends so they could pour water and watch it flow to back into the lake.

Last month of summer...

Our last month of summer included:

Soccer camp

 Frisco Discovery Center

Crawling everywhere and two bottom teeth

 Major hair cut for Dilan

 Seven inches gone!

 Drew did golf camp

 Dakota is pulling up on everything and now climbing the stairs!

 I have now barricaded the stairs with almost every dining room chair we have.
