Sept Recap - Fun

Rylee decided to skip a traditional birthday party so she could have a couple of sleepovers instead.

The first was with her friend from preschool, Kenzie.  They crafted, they swam, they made an iMovie, stayed up late watching movies in bed, and basically had a fantastic time.  Unfortunately, all I took was video so I don't have any photos to share.

The second was with her friend from school, Josephine.  They basically did the same things - I guess those are sleepover staples!  I did manage to get one pic from when they were swimming.  But I have lots of pics of Rylee and Josephine because they play in my classroom most mornings.  Here they are on our school's dress up days:

Tie Dye Day...

Jersey Day...

The one from the sleepover...

Picture Day...

Fun times!

Sept Recap - Rylee's birthday

Rylee turned 8 this year!  How is that possible?!
Her birthday was right after Labor Day weekend so we made the most of it and celebrated every day.

Saturday we met Miller and Mason at one of those kid's places where you can do crazy rope climbs...

...rock climbing, laser tag, etc.

Afterwards, I found a fun ice cream place that served some 

milk-free ice cream so we went there for treats and present opening.

Sunday was Mason's birthday party so went there for some pool party action.  I didn't take any pics though.  :(

Monday was Rylee's birthday at home.  She wanted a round, layer cake (which I've never made before).  It turned out pretty cute for my first time!

Most importantly, it was delicious!

Two thumbs up!

Tuesday was Rylee's actual birthday and her party at school.  I let her wear something a little outside the dress code to celebrate.

Love this beautiful, sweet girl!  

Rest of August- Recap

August is back to school time in FL.  The kids came by my classroom on Rylee's Sneak a Peek day.  They were very color coordinated with my classroom!

Then it was time for the first day of school.  

2nd Grade for Rylee and one more year of preschool for Jace.

Another year of 2nd grade for me too!

Here Jace is showing off his new snack bag!

The kids are having a great year.  Rylee loves her new teacher and she is reading off the charts.  Jace adores school.  His new classroom has a lot of pets.  He likes his new teacher and loves his friends.  When I tell him he has a day off from school, he actually complains!
