And School Begins!

After a very  long summer break in which the boys' school did construction to double the size of the classes (amazing how much bigger they are!), they have finally started school - much to Zachary's dismay.

Grade 1, Still My Baby, Grade 3

The weekend before, Isidros hosted a "Big Kids" party, which left the little people in the "dumps" but Corey came to the rescue and hosted a get-together at her house for the younger siblings, much to their delight

 

The big Kids









Watching a kids version of "America Ninja Warrior" upstairs

Jennifer took her kids on a homeschool trip to Williamsburg, so Grandma came to the rescue once again and watched the kids.  She took them to the Sanford Zoo last Friday, where they enjoyed the train ride and carousel.

 

On Sunday, Karis rode the 30 mile Ride-for-Ronald Race and Amy took the kids to the Apopka church's "Let's Move" day - the kids ran a small race (just a lap around the track) - Zachary was about 4th in the beginning by made it up to the 2nd place by the time he got around the track - another half a lap and he could have made it that last spot but no avail.  Poor Kaleb on the other hand had someone's feet trip him up so he ended up with some road rash but bravely finished the race anyway!

Zachary is under the T in the "start" sign and Kaleb is beside the little boy in the red short, slightly behind the girl with the black hair in the middle of the picture (look for the blue glasses! :))

After the race, Kaleb holding his poor arm.

Thankfully the road rash was forgotten and they were able to have fun in the "knocker balls" where they get inside these big balls and get to bash each other!  Of course the person with the greater weight usually throws the other one off balance, so poor Kaleb got some "roll-around" time as he was thrown off his feet several times by Zachary - although it was fun times!

Ready!

Set!

Go!

Kaboom!

 At the end of the play-time, the two boys then got to go to the top of the hill in their knocker-balls and roll down the hill....super fun!

 Addison figured out there was face painting there and soon was begging to have her face done....and then Kaleb joined in.  Both sat very still while they did their faces.

she was not happy about this picture...

Phrase of the week:  We had people over for supper last night, and the kids were all playing when Zachary jumped into Kaleb, and some "gas" blurted out of Kaleb.  Kaleb was a bit sheepish and said "Uhh...that was unexpected!"  Ha ha - kind of serves Zachary right for jumping on Kaleb, but feel bad for poor Kaleb was he was a bit embarrassed!

Addison was so excited to see Evan when they got back this week that during the morning while they played, she said to him "Evan - should we get married?"  And he answered "Sure!" to which she then replied "Okay good, let's go tell your mom that you're going to come live with me now with my Mommy and Daddy."  Ha ha - maybe we'll brainwash Addi into thinking she has to live with us when she TRULY gets married! :)
