Catching up

I've been a bad blogger!! Sorry about that! I'll try to catch you up on the oh so exciting things that've been happening around here.

Labor Day weekend was pretty relaxing. I had to work on Saturday and Monday nights, but that was ok. Monday afternoon we took the kids to Supercuts. Kylie had a trim (since she's decided she wants to grow her hair long again) and Connor got the coolest cut ever!! It's so short now and I love it!! No more trying to figure out which side to part it on, no more fighting the cowlicks...easy hair! Yay!! Now he looks like the troublemaker that he is. :-) We didn't take the camera with us, so Michael got this pic of Connor with his cell phone...

After haircuts we went to Burger King for lunch and had fun messing around with the camera on M's phone. It'll never replace my Canon, but I had fun messing around with it anyway! Here are a few of the shots I took at lunch...

On a different note, Kylie's been saying she wants to ride the school bus for a while now. Michael and I weren't exactly enthusiastic about it, but we talked and finally decided we could try it out and see how she likes it. I signed her up and she started riding the bus home on the 2nd. I was a mess all day. I kept thinking she'd get off at the wrong stop and that the bus driver wouldn't care and all these other awful things. Guess I didn't need to worry at all. She did great...and she loves riding the bus! And it's a whole lot easier for me now since I don't have to fight the traffic or the parking at the school. The bus stop is at the top of our road, so it's a quick walk for Connor and I to meet Kylie.

It was barely sprinkling, but that was enough for Connor to need to bring the umbrella on our walk to meet Kylie...

A handsome boy despite the messy face, the scratch on his nose and the bruise on his forehead...
Successful first bus ride home! Whew!!

Connor started his last year of preschool on Wed. It's kind of sad...this is our last year at Carpenter's Kids!! The cool thing is that he's in Kylie's old classroom which is upstairs (where the big kids go!) and he loves his new teacher, Mrs. Hudson! Here he is that morning with new shoes and a new backpack...my little sk8r boy...

Ready to go!!
Goofing around as usual... In the elevator up to the "big kids" rooms...

Other than that, it's pretty status quo around here. The weather today is sooo nice! We have all the windows open and I think we're gonna go outside here in a few minutes. I'm bummed the Raiders lost last night, but was anyone actually expecting them to win in Denver on a Mon. night?? I've been a Raiders fan for far too long to have such high expectations.

Now, Connor and I are going outside to play. Then we'll go meet Kylie at the bus. Maybe we'll even take Gypsy for a walk! Hope you're enjoying your day!
