The many faces of Molly

While the kids were at school today, Molly and I played outside. She had fun just running around checking out the flowers and grass. I took a few pictures.

School days!

Well school has officially started for 2008!! Both were very excited to be heading to school. The bus came about the same time last year and Zach was glad to see that we had the same bus driver, Mr. Monti! He seemed to have a good day and he got 1 "wow" stick! That is having good behavior in the classroom.










Abby was excited and a bit nervous about heading to school. She had her lunch and we took a few pics and she was off. I know that it helped that she knew a few kids in her class. On was a boy she has gone to preschool with since she was 2 years old. I was a little nervous about the bus ride home. But I was glad to see that they had put on the bus number braclets on her. They do that with the kindergarteners so they don't mess up which bus they go on!


So off they go.......seems a bit quiet in the house but now Molly get some time with just mommy! And I might actually get the house cleaned for once :)

here is the picture of them getting of the bus that afternoon!

Miss Molly

So I was looking through my Fountain Park post and I see no pictures of Molly! Well...I better change that! Molly just turned 11 months old! She is full of energy and walking like a pro! She babbles a ton and I hear "dat" (that) all the time! She loves ice cream and anything we are eating!

Fountain Park Chautauqua'

The kids and I just got back from our annual camping trip to Fountain Park Chautauqua. Fountain Park is hard to explain to most people. Unless you grew up going there you just normally don't get why it is fun! No lake, no pool, no tv, no phones (well cell phones now) but you just talk, play cards and the kids play.














For the kids their day usually started at 9 a.m. with painting some pictures. Next was the morning sports games. That could be "capture the flag", soccer, or ulitmate frisbee. At 11 a.m. story hour began for the younger kids. And a on tuesday and thursdays there were crafts for the kids. They decorated cookies, painted flowers pots and made braclets. And there are daily shows at 3 p.m. 8 p.m. After the 3 o'clock show, there was another activity time. We did gaint bubbles, tie die shirts and all kinds of things! After the evening program there were some activities also.
There was bon fires with s'mores, ice cream social, the watermelon feast and some savanger hunts!






















So it is a special place to me and the kids already know that every July that is what we do! They are making friends there that they see only once a year and it is fun for me to watch them grow each year!

Oh yeah...they also do Olympics one Saturday. They do a .5 mile run, frisbee throw, 3 legged race, sack race, and the kids get ribbons for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place!

First entry!

Well.....lets see how this works! I have been reading my friends blogs and thought it is about time I get my own. I don't get to see some of my family that often and friends also so this will be a better way for you all to see how we are doing! And how the kids are growing! So welcom to my blog!
