Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Homework Time!

Jack and daddy doing a bit of homework practice. ❤️😍

Handsome Boy!

We can't forget this guy, who rocked it when we took our family photos. :)

Mom and Dad Take Pictures, Too

We clean up pretty well sometimes! ;)

He's Ready!

He got dressed (he picked it all out) and wore this all day. ;)

And he did NOT want to take off that tie at bedtime, either! Lol

Cute Big Boy Saturday

He was helping...

or at least that's what he told me. Lol

Friday Five

Wouldn't you know it that two boys woke up with stuffy noses this morning? I told both of them that they were imagining things. I'm not sure they believe me. lol

One day this week, Shawn woke up around 4 am and was unable to go back to sleep. By the time morning rolled around and it was time to get up, Shawn had reached the point of exhaustion that makes a person feel sick to their stomach. Sigh. He ended up going back to sleep for a little bit and woke up just fine (like I knew he would). He got to school about an hour and fifteen minutes late, but he went! lol

Jack lost his fifth tooth tonight!

Our backyard reno is inching closer to the finish line. Can't. Wait.

Today the boys were too cute. While Isaac and I were doing some things around the backyard, the boys got together to play "school." Shawn was the teacher. :)

We Did It!

On this day, every single year since 2009, someone (and some years two or more people) has been sick. Today, I am happy to announce that NO person in this house is sick! We have made it through the first week of school without a cold!

Now, that may change tomorrow, but I'll take what I can get and celebrate. ;)

Mostly Wordless Wednesday - Family Shot

Love this photo! I don't know how she did it, because some people were less than cooperative (I'm looking at you, Jack), but yay!

Love!

This boy right here was a posing machine! He rocked it!

A little playing in the park after taking family pictures!

Friday Five

Day 2 of the school year is in the books. The boys all had a good day today, but I have to say, they were all very appreciative of the weekend. School is exhausting when you've just come from the lazy days of summer.

When Jack came home, he looked especially worn out.



Poor guy!

~~~

Well, the backyard continues to near completion. We only have the facade of the planter wall left to finish. This weekend we'll be re-filling the planter with dirt and hopefully replanting all of our plants. (They will certainly appreciate that!)

~~~

I am especially proud of Shawn today. He has always been on the shy side in the classroom, but today our boy volunteered to go up to the board and answer a question in front of the class! So awesome! I am hoping this is a sign of a very positive year to come!

~~~

Over the summer, the boys were asked to read. We read each night at bedtime for a total of 16 ish hours of reading and managed to finish 8 different books. Jason upped the ante for himself and read an additional 850+ pages on his own! How awesome is that?! In the end, he finished 5 more books on his own and is in the process of reading two more. Way to go, Jay!

~~~

We had to reschedule our family pictures we were going to take July to tomorrow. I can't wait to see them, and we haven't even taken them yet! I am not the best at being patient. lol

First Day of School!

Today was the first day of school! They were all excited, and I think all had a relatively good day!

Jack even got to lead the kids into school. :)

Mostly Wordless Wednesday

He's all set!

Kindie meet and greet - ✔️

This Is the Life

Relaxing by the pool...

Eeking Out the Last Drops of Fun from Summer

Blowing some bubbles in the pool...

A little horseplay...

And a little lounging around...

These boys are loving the water!
