September takes us back into the classroom. Caedan was so excited when this day finally arrived. We made a paper chain in the beginning of August to help him count down the days. We are now slowly working our way back into the routine of school, homework, making lunches and earlier bedtimes for everyone.
The first day of school outfits are courtesy of my neighbor. Caedan asked if he had a new shirt to wear to school for the first day. He has so many clothes that we had not bothered to buy more. Shortly after that my neighbor arrived with a new t-shirt for Caedan and this awesome skirt that she made for Olivia.
Lined up so that the parents could take pictures before the kids went into the room.
Some of the best things about Olivia's first month of 5th grade:
- Getting to be a crossing guard.
- Being one of the older kids at school
- Being reunited with her best friend
- Writing her personal narrative
- Her teacher
Highlights of Caedan's first month of Kindergarten:
- School lunch (Mostly the chocolate milk part)
- School lock down (The bank up the hill from his school was robbed and the robber was on the loose)
- Writers workshop
- PE
- Going on a leaf hunt
Soccer is now in full swing. Soccer consumes much of our time, currently taking up 4 nights of our week and sometimes 5.
The Mustangs are a force to be reckoned with.
Occasionally you have to fight with your own teammate to get the ball.
The Redwings have started out the season very strong. Most of the girls have played together for several seasons.
We have had some very wet games so far. For two games it poured the entire game. You can't tell from this picture but it was a very wet game. The other team is all weaing rain jackets and green pennies.
September also has us back on the softball diamond. Because we do not have enough on our plates we have started a softball tournament team. This has taken a lot of work but all of the extra work should payoff for the girls in the spring.
Caedan's quote of the month:
"When I am a grown up I know that I will be a good fighting ninja."
We have our eyes on the mountains as we are anxiously waiting for the snow to start falling and sticking!
