August Recap (Back to School)

Monster Jam was Saturday, Saturday, Saturday!  (Works better with Sunday, Sunday, Sunday, doesn't it?)  Jace and Rylee wanted cotton candy (one of the things they didn't get at the fair) and this Grave Digger mask came with it (it should have come with even more since it cost $20 a bag!). 

Jace looks pretty scary!



It was a smaller venue (the stadium right next to our house), but still a fun time.
And we could walk there.  A lot easier than fighting the traffic in and out of Miami!



The kids got to spend one more day with Diane on that Monday.  
Rylee loves being a "big sister" to Baby Caroline.




Jace and Julia playing games.



Rylee's best friend, Emily, lives in the same neighborhood 
so she spent the day with them too.  Bonus!



Tuesday was sneak a peek so the kids checked out their new classrooms and spent the day with Daddy.  Wednesday Aug 15th was the first day of school.  Boo!  

(Jace made his sign and accidentally wrote 1th grade.  So adorable!)



Showing off Jace's new backpack (which turned out to be a bit of a dud.  
It started ripping on week 2 and we officially replaced it by mid Sept.  Lol!)
Rylee loves her old backpack so she opted to keep it for another year.



The kids don't have to wear uniform bottoms this year (only tops) so Jace wears basketball shorts every day and Rylee has been going between jean capris, shorts, and leggings.  These were their first day outfit picks.




Jessica's son, Oliver, started going to our school this year.  He and Jace are in the same class.  She took this pick of them reading in the hallway on the first day.




On Friday, we celebrated the end of the week by going to the museum after school.  Rylee's other bestie, Maddan, and her sister went too.  They had a new area where you can slide into a pit of pool noodles.  :)



Candy cane jail!  It reminds us of Wreck It Ralph!



King Candy Jace!



The kids love their new teachers.  Rylee's homework is insane (2 hours a night and weekends), but she hasn't complained.  She budgets her time and makes sure she completes everything.  She doesn't really need me anymore.  :(
