Half Way Through September!

September has been a big blur in the first half.  Here's what we've been up to... 

                       

                   

Nolan has been doing such a great job getting himself up in the morning, showered and fed.  One morning he must have been extra tired as he grabbed the chicken seasoning without thinking and put it on his bagel.  He learned real quick that reading labels is important.

Packing in as many pool days before it closes for the summer.  Mairin would have the pool to herself when all the older kids are at school.

Dinner out to celebrate the birthday girl, Kim.

Labor Day weekend ended up being really rainy so I jumped into the kids' closets and started organizing what they grew out of and what they will need for the fall/winter.  It's always a much bigger project than anticipated but it feels good to have gotten in front of it.

The Labor Day pool party was cancelled because of the rain but the sun ended up coming out in the afternoon and we were able to squeak in a couple more hours at the pool for the end of the season.

Mairin grew butterflies in August and they were finally ready to be released.  She was so proud of her hard work watching them grow.

                        

Well care check up.  Mairin is growing well and had to have two vaccines which she was NOT a fan of but recovered quickly.  Mairin is 39 pounds (78th percentile) and almost 41 inches (72nd percentile)

Being "twinsies" with Camilla for an OSU game.

                        

Quinn has a couple of extra obligations for cheer this month as she has to attend two different choreography clinics.  She has a lot of fun learning the routines and the coaches/moms do a nice job of making it fun for them.

Girl Scouts kicked off with a troop meeting and apple picking.  Quinn loves spending time with these girls outside of school and sports.
