August Fun

We finished off August with a bang!
We managed another trip to the new children's museum, The Peoria Playhouse, before school started:





 We got in one last playdate with the fun Pacheco family. The boys played legos and video games while the girls did makeovers (the zombie look is in, haha):
 We had fun while shopping for school supplies:
 And started the school year with plenty of sass ;)
 I'm down to one kid for shopping trips so we make them fun :)
 And the kids got to go to another Lego Club at the library! Cole made a T-rex, Ellie made a house and Dax made a fire boat:


We had a great summer! Now it's time to get ready for a baby!!

School is in Session!

The summer is over, but the kids are so excited to go back to school that I can't even be sad! We finally got to meet their teachers last night! 

Coleson is a big 3rd grader with a locker this year! His teacher is Mrs. Crow.


Elise got to meet Mrs. Widmer and find her cubby too!


When I woke up at 6:30 this morning Ellie was already dressed and ready to go! She is super excited to be starting Kindergarten!! And Cole is excited to be the oldest in the school this year...but not so excited for the homework that comes with that ;)



Dax and I had fun without Cole and Ellie...but we were happy to have them home! We celebrated the first day by going out for ice cream!! The kids really enjoyed it if you can't tell ;)





Let the learning commence!!

Tanner's Orchard

We found the cutest orchard to play at today! It was little kid heaven!!
Trains, tractors, sand pits, fire trucks, buses, airplanes, teeter totters, boats, hay maze, horse swings, and mini golf! It was never ending fun!! And the apple cider donuts at the end were a nice bonus ;)
