Last Week of Fun

First grade starts tomorrow for Aidan! He is so ready (and so is Mommy!). We had orientation last week and he got to meet his teacher, Mrs. Davis. I forgot to get a picture of her with Aidan...oh well. Here he is by his new desk!

Avery got to come to Big Church with us for the first time this morning! She did great :)

Last weekend Daniel and I took the kids to Lowe's for a Build & Grow clinic they have for kids on Saturday mornings. There's a project that's easy for them to do...this week they made the dragon from Shrek.

That night Amy and I took Avery and Sage to see a production of The Little Mermaid. We had a couple other friends who were there as well. My friend Susan's daughter Emily was part of the chorus and it was a really cute show! The girls got to meet Ariel and Ursula afterwards.

We had a field trip to a local plant nursery with our Moms Club.

I am really ready for the routine of fall to start! The kids are both in gymnastics at 3:30 on Tuesday which will be great for after school. I'm also thinking of putting Aidan in a local cub scout troop and possibly a 6-session football program (no games, just learning the basics). They'll both do choir at church on Sunday nights. As for Avery, she will still do Mothers Day Out twice a week and we'll stay busy with Moms Club activities and hang out with other friends. But we're not doing as many scheduled morning activities this year (no speech, no ballet, no playgroup), so I'm going to try a homeschool Pre-K curriculum since we'll have the time. I just want to supplement what she's learning at MDO and get her ready for kindergarten next year! Wish me luck :)
