Dash told me that he can now peel and eat his own orange, and that now I can put them in his school lunch.
Will do.
Orange Mouth
Freezing at Harbor Pizza
My kids were still partially wet from the beach when we stopped at Harbor Pizza.
So Dash solved his own problem and got himself into the sun until their famous bread sticks with ranch showed up.
George White
Thumbs up for day two of school!
Beached Whale
The second school got out today — the first day of school, we went straight to the beach to hang on to a bit more summer.
And Christian created the cutest beached whale I have ever seen!
First Day of School ‘16
Say it ain’t so.
It is only August 15th, and we are back at it…the schedule, the homework, the driving…I am so depressed.
But here we are tackling it…
We were up at 6:30…a far cry from our summer wake-up time of 9:00.
The kids got dressed up in their first-day outfits, grabbed their backpacks full of supplies, got their teacher’s first day of school treat, and headed out for me to take pictures.
They were goofing off, but I was so glad to see them in good spirits for school.
We were dying that the sun was just rising over Ralph’s, when they were walking up to school.
Scout was SOOO excited to get Mrs. Fong!
Navy was excited to see her new seat with all of her new books.
I can’t believe that I have a 2nd and 4th grader!
And a Transitional Kindergartener!!!
He chose to match Ka’s BYU backpack.
This poor little guy was a bit nervous, and even had tears for a few minutes.
But his teacher is the nicest, so she eased his fears!
—
I can’t believe the year has begun. I can’t believe that we are going to school during the summer. I can’t believe a lot of things. I guess it is time for me to take a reality pill, and get with the program!
Girl Day
I had Navy and Rose out and about today, and it was a blast.
Before we left, I let them choose any recipe off of Pinterest that we would make later that day.
Then we headed out to run back-to-school errands, and get our ingredients.
We found out that Navy had Mrs. Mainprize, and she was excited to see that she has a classroom full of her friends!
Then we hit up Susie Cakes, Manga Benei for lunch, Target for a million supplies, and the grocery store.
We finished at the garden, where I watered while they went lizard hunting. Navy was so excited to find twins!
And we finally made it home, where they baked away, and both created their own delicious pan of frosted brownies!
And the verdict after everyone ate them, was that they were delicious!
Cade’s Gift
Seth and Cade have been gone all summer long. We start school in a few days, and this is the first we have seen of them, and they are so nice, that they came bearing gifts! ANd the best gift, was this poncho that Cade brought Pippi. She loves it, and hasn’t taken it off since she got it!
Tiger Ride
How cute is Dash on the carousel!
Grandma took him to the Irvine Spectrum for a date with Alexa, and they had fun.
Dash told me he picked the tiger, because it “was the meanest animal on it”!
It’s quite the juxtaposition to have the sweetest boy on the meanest animal!
Perris w/ Cousins
Seth’s family went to Lake Perris with the Brockbanks, and Scout wanted in. So I took Rose, they took Scout, and it was a perfect trade off. They said Scout was the king of the tubes, and begged to go faster and faster! And then they would all wrestle each other to see who the last man standing was, and I guess Scout had a few wins! I really can’t believe how brave my little boy is becoming!
Sweet Serenade
After getting the kids off to school, I was delighted to be serenaded by my cold princess, and her mini guitar.
It was Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, and it was perfect.
