My Buddy

This girl is my buddy all day.  Deacon naps for a long time, now that house is quiet.  So it's just me and Camryn...and what a blast she is to be around.

First Day of School

Can't believe it's already here.  They both stepped on the bus today, to be gone 8 hours a day, 5 days a week.  I will miss them so much.

First day of Kindergarten

First day of second grade

Wishing it were her first day of Kindergarten.  "I go to home preschool."  She wore her little backpack all morning while the kids were getting ready.  

Dakota said her favorite was riding the bus.  

Camryn started sobbing when the bus drove away.  Apparently she thought she was going to ride the bus, too.  

Coming home from their first day.  Dakota said it was awesome and Taylor said it was the worst day of his life.

Done

And the other two...

Summer Bucket List

After being back from Spokane for a week, I looked at the calendar and realized we only had 3.5 weeks of summer left!  I couldn't believe it.  I didn't want to spend our last 3 weeks sitting around, so the kids and I brainstormed for an hour and came up with our summer bucket list:  We answered 5 questions:   What do you want to do?  Where do you want to go?  What do you want to see?  What do you want to learn about? What do you want to make?  We had a list to fill many weeks.  (And I only had to say no to one item - "Visit the Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney World."  :)

We still have one week left, but we have had a blast working our way through our bucket list.

Make cookies.

Get a pet.  (I have to say this was one I was ready to skip.  However Taylor found "Pebble" in the backyard and has kept it alive for the past week.)  

Go to Krispy Kreme.

Make chocolate pudding cupcakes.

Go to the zoo.

 

 See an alligator.

See a snake.

 Go to the ice cream shop.  

 Go to the pet store.  See a guinea pig.  

 Go on a bike ride.
