Soccer and Apples

Today was the first Saturday after school, and things are starting! Soccer just started for Ryder. He hasn't played for about a year and begged to play again, so you can imagine his excitement! He loves it! He did super good and even scored a goal during the game!

It was also the first day of apple picking season here in NY. I figured we better do it now, in case we don't make it over there this year. The kids think its fun, and you can eat all you want while you are picking...so...we had a good time. I am always in awe how many apples they eat a day when there are so many at home. I am glad though! It was a good Saturday.. and after a busy morning....I was done.

First Day of School

Well, it finally came. Everyone goes to school before us, but since we don't start school til after Labor Day, we are basically the last to go. The kids were excited to go to their new classes...with the exception of Jayda. She was super nervouse her 3 minutes between classes wouldn't be enough time to go to her locker and get to her classes spread out all over the school. Poor thing, she was visusalizing making it to classes for two days. Halle, who went to the middle school for the first time, seemed clueless and no even the least bit scared. I think she was excited to be doing something new, but didn't seem worried at all about finding classes or opening her locker. I was probably more worried than her. They all did great the first day and seemed to be excited to be back in a schedule....or maybe that is just me.

For us that stayed home...Me, Kason, and the twins... it was a little harder. My helpers were all gone and Kason tried to be a helper. He tried to help take the twins to the bathroom when possible. I over guessed my abilities this far in pregnancy and mopped and swept and then was in a bit of pain the rest of the day. No bueno. I do miss my helpers, but glad to have a schedule too. Since the twins don't take naps anymore and I am counting down til this baby arrives, the days seems long, but we will survive!

First of school though...big success!!

Jayda 7th, Halle 6th, Mia 5th, Sienna 3rd, Ryder 1st.
