Love this pic!

Off to First Grade!

Day one of school and I managed to keep it together! H was so excited to go to school and daddy got to take him to his first day. I can't wait to hear all about how he did! We managed to be ready by 7:15 this morning... now if we could do that every morning, we'll be golden! Kennedy starts preschool next Tuesday... the schooling begins!

Swim Lessons

The kids had swim lessons this summer during session 3 at the Hamilton Lowe Aquatic Center. I scheduled them for 7:15 in order for Bryan to be able to go after work and watch them swim. (Next year, I'm trying the 11:00 am sessions... 7:15 was way too close to bedtime!) Anyway, the lessons went well and H's instructors were quite surprised that he was only going into 1st grade. He passed with flying colors onto Frogs while Kennedy did a good job, she was the youngest in her Tadpole class and will do that for at least one more summer! Her male instructor frightened the bejesus out of her!!!! She only wanted to work with the "girl teachers!"

Take one....

Take two....

Kennedy said something to Hayden that ticked him off....

Therefore, brother wants to wring sister's neck! LOL!

It's been long overdue since I've posted here. I took the kids downtown to our hair stylist so she can give them an updated "do" for school. Kennedy had at least 2 inches taken off, and Hayden just needed a trim around the ears. (And she still charged me full price, I was kind of irritated.) Anyway, they are ready for school! Aside from getting H's school supplies and getting mentally ready for both to start this fall, we'll rarin' and ready to go.

Lemonade 4 Sale!

K and H waiting for their first customer! It was a hot day - luckily we found

this camper to give us some shade on the corner!

Frustrated that not everyone was stopping to buy some!

Last Thursday Hayden had his very first lemonade sale! It was quite a sight to see him get all geared up for this. He made the lemonade sign, had the idea for it and wanted to even charge for water! (Is this a future entrepreneur?) Anyhow, daddy and I helped him make his lemonade and take his stand down to the neighborhood corner. He made over $4.00!!! It was very sweet and something we will probably do in the near future before school starts. Makes me realize that I need to stop at every lemonade or kool aid stand I see! (On a side note - we sold completely out of lemonade) Although, Kennedy helped herself to a glass and poured out a good 1/4 of the pitcher on the table before anyone even showed up! LOL!
