September/October 2018

Where did the time go…..my little boy started preschool on September 4^th.  Crew had already attended a small week long, summer school to get him adjusted to going to school.  He had absolutely no fear or going or staying in a strange place with new people.  He even left me to go play with the toys and said “Bye mom”.  I guess he’s well adjusted.  So when school was about to start I had absolutely no fear about it and knew he would be a trooper.  Daddy was able to take him to school and everything was great.  He had so much fun, made a new friend (“Beau” and “Easton”) and was excited to go back.  The first couple days they made Grandparents Day gifts and learned how to spell their name.  It’s going to be fun to watch a little one go through all the firsts again and be excited about school.

We ended September with Homecoming 2018.  The kids always have fun dressing up for the week at school.  We always go to the parade on Thursday night.  All three kids were awesome, and the weather was amazing for a parade.  Lots of Candy.  We also made a trip to Jurassic Quest with Crew.  He was good for about an hour and it ended with me dragging a screaming and kicking toddler out to the car.

Happy 4^th birthday Crew.  You turned four this year and was super excited about your birthday this year.  You looked for to it for about a month before the actual date.  It was cool to watch you look forward to the date.  Luckily, it rained a lot around your birthday so it kept everyone out of the field, so we were able to celebrate the Sunday before with family and had a TMNT (teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) cake.  You got a TMNT backpack for school, TMNT movies and a watch like your brothers.  Then, on your birthday you had preschool and was able to bring birthday snacks.  Of course, you chose to bring TMNT Go-Gurts for everyone and it worked out great.  Until next year when you turn 5!

We ended the month with Halloween activities including dressing up for Fright Night in Gibson, dressing up for a Halloween party at school and the big finale, actual Halloween night.  This was a much better year for Crew and the weather was perfect…about 50 and no rain or snow.  Tate and Crew did great and hit many houses together.  About an hour in Crew was getting tired and started having a breakdown.  Getting upset if Tate got to ring the doorbell and of course, Tate was a poker and kept upsetting him.  But we made it through and ended up with a lot of candy.
