back to school 2013


Back to school came quick.
We had our Back to School dinner on Wednesday night. 
My trick is that I set the table in the morning if I have time so when it's dinner, 
it's all ready and less to do that evening.

We went over to the school for an Open House and to meet the kids' teachers.
Add and her locker:


Kade and his locker:


After the open house we went over to my friend, Rachael's to have Addi's haircut.
She desperately needed a trim (and to have some green cut off)



Ethan got done early and we ate.
Fondue is usually what the kids pick.
It was so good.




The next morning the kids were up bright and early, ready to go.  
Addi wanted to leave for the bus at 7:45 am. haha.  They are looking so old. 





After they left on the bus, I started to follow in the car. I got around the corner and thought, "what am I doing?"  so I drove home and got ready for breakfast with some friends.
It was weird.  But I just knew they would be ok. 2nd and 3rd grade.


I had a Back to School breakfast for Mom's and it was really fun.
There were 6 of us and I didn't take a single picture.
We had scones and yogurt and granola and fruit.

After everyone left, I headed up to Kalli's. 
We had lunch in the park and then got donuts at Station 13.




Brought home donuts for the kids and met them at the bus stop.
They both said they had a good time and liked their teachers.





When Ethan got home we went to Slab for dinner.  
I think we did that last year too.
And then I wanted to puke from all the eating.

beach week 2013


 prepare for picture overload.

We left for the beach on our 12th wedding anniversary.  this is my favorite wedding pic of us:



Playing cards at the airport:


We got in late, late on Saturday night.  Dad picked us up and we slept at his house.
Sunday morning we got up and drove down to Ocean City.
Everyone was on the beach already so we dropped our bags and headed two blocks over.




The kids were so happy to see everyone.
Holes were dug, people were buried, waves were boogied.












Add and Cath collecting shells.  
They had lots of talks about shells and different kinds, it was really cute.


Flying kites.







First icecream man stop of the week.
Kade LOVES the choco taco.
