The 3 big deals at our house this week!

Charlie is wearing underwear (at least when we are at home)! This is normal for most families with 2.5 year olds, but in our house - this is HUGE! Fingers crossed that we can skip the traditional Soet trip to Chicago for BootyCamp professional help with Charlie!!!

Cody lost his first tooth on Friday! He is so proud & super cute with that new gap smile :) He left his tooth on the kitchen countertop because he was "freaked out thinking about some fairy flying around in my room"!!!

Lindsey started dance class earlier ths month. She never struck me a ballet class kinda girl, but apparently she is! She basesher week around dance on Tuesdays :) She loves it - half ballet, then time for tap shoes - PERFECT!

Who knows what the big deal will be at our house next week???

Cody goes to Kindergarten

He has a week+ under his belt and other than that very first morning (and the morning his mean mom made him wear pants!) he has been a happy kid jumping on the bus and ready to go to school! He was pretty worried about eating lunch at school. All of those days spent this summer giggling about Hubba Bubba the lunch lady with his older buddy Karsyn started to freak him out a little :) But a Reese's PB Cup in his Batman lunch box fixed his fear of the lunch room and Hubba Bubba, too! He has Mrs. Morris who also was his teacher in Young 5's last year, and he knew about 7 kids in his class already. Kindergarten will be great!

The little kids love watching the bus from their chairs in their jammies... Makes me smile every time!

Steve stayed home to help get Cody on the bus for the first morning of school - - - someone had to be able to take pictures, right?!?

Cody's fist day of school went well - His teacher sent me a picture of him playing in the classroom with some new buddies. According to Cody, 3 recesses made him smile! After the bus dropped him back off at home smiling, his older neighborhood friends even humored him & me with taking some first day of school pics. A Batman backpack with muscles and a special cookie had Cody smiling big time!

Summer at Big Star Lake

We had a great weekend at the lake with my in-laws & Gigi.

The kids caught fish for the first time - they tried a few new "bait" ideas : sour gummy worms, hot dogs, and string cheese! I'll have to post a few tubing pictures in a bit - very fun!
