First Day of School 2015

First Day of School!

Annaliesse has Mrs. Mase this year in a 2/3 split.

Kalia has Mrs. King again this year in a 2/3 split.

I felt bad, Kalia still has a stomach ache, she has had it for a couple days, but she wanted to go so bad. So we will see if she can last the whole day. Add later: She did not last. I got a phone call at 10:30 she was crying and in pain. I went and picked her up and she had been in the bathroom for about 1/2 an hour. Poor Kalia. She is was tears and so embarrassed. Her first day of school was a disaster and she cried for a while about it. She came home and spent most of the day sick in the bathroom. First day of Grade 3- fail.

Last few days of summer

We spent the last few days of Summer, doing absolutely nothing.
Most of our summer was GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO, Mommy needed a bit of down time before it was back to a rigorous schedule for everyone.

Nerf Gun and a 22

Saturday morning Justin headed out for some alone time with his gun.
Of course before he could get out of the door, 4 kids were desperate to go shooting with him.
We came to a agreement, Justin took a hour to himself to shoot- then the kids and I followed him out for a turn of our own.

 Barker was so ridiculously excited. He brought his gun and his bullets, just like Daddy.

I great 1/2 hour of fun with Daddy- then back to work on the house, finishing the last of the outside trim.

Sunday

Daddy is Barkers favorite person right now.
Its Daddy this, and Daddy that.
Sunday morning its adorable watching him follow Justin around insisting he does his hair and tie his tie and get him ready!

Look alike

Remy and Annaliesse look and act SOOO alike.
Its crazy. Every so often Remy will look at me a certain way or make a face or a noise and its imitate  flash back. True Annaliesse has a bit fatter face but they look very similar.

Snapshots

Last snapshots of summer :(

Our conversation one Sunday afternoon.

Barker: when I grow up I want to be a dog. 

Mommy: why? 

Barker: so I can drink with my tongue out of a bowl. 

Mommy: you don't have to be a dog to do that. 

Conclusion..

Barker: I would like being a dog. But with clothes on. 

You know that Lion King song. 
♪♫ I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they a standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your HEAD ♪♫

The girls ice cream cones are AS BIG AS THEIR HEADS!
They ate half of them, before melting all. over.

Had ice cream with these hooligans.

Remy stood on the paddle board for the first time!

Got 40 pints of jalapenos done this year!! YUM

And we are working with the trim still, trying to get it finished before winter sets in.
