Adventures

We have had many adventures this month, I just have been busy not blogging them. First we had the chance go to the first football game of the season for Kansas State. Dedrick's coworker gave us his tickets for the game. Sea of purple on Sep 8th totaling 48,843!

The next adventure was going to the state fair Sep 15th, the kids loved seeing all the animals. I was working the college booth, so I missed most of the fun. It was great to see giant tractors with wheels bigger than my kids and a timber wolf.

The final adventure was going to the Scottish Festival  here in McPherson with our friends the Stark's and Marshall's. The kids had fun doing games and trying new foods. 

School Update

We have been in school a little over month now. The kids are getting into the schedule again, it has taken them a while to adjust.

Becca is in 5th grade now, she rotates classes every 50 minutes. She seems to be doing well with it, not having too much trouble. She is old enough to start band this year and chose to play the flute. She will also be starting basketball in the next month. She is very excited.

Aidan is in 2nd grade now. He loves being one of the cool kids in his class. He does really like school, but he doesn't like the homework part. He really is starting to get into reading chapter books on anything he can find. He is reading The Lightning Thief now.

Kaliska started all day Kindergarten this year, and luckily she has the same teacher from last year. She gets to ride the bus with her brother this year. She seems to be doing well and making lots of friends. I have a date with her tomorrow at school for Muffins with Mom.

I am also in school this year at the local college about 5 miles away. I am taking four classes this semester, which are quite fun. It feels good to be doing something to enrich my mind and help myself prove I can. It was hard for me to get in the swing of being in school again, but I am managing with the help of my wonderful husband.

Dancing Girl

We were all downstairs after finishing a movie. I had put on some music to listen to and Kaliska comes abound the corner dancing. My silly girl! 

Mom Moment

Conversation with Kaliska and Aidan:


Me:"Why didn't you clean up the mud, when I asked?"


Aidan:" We were too busy playing."


Kaliska: "It is your job as mom! "


Me: Silence (with stern look)

Aidan: "Mom I think you need a timeout before we get in more trouble"

Kaliska: "Yeah mom"

Got love my kids:)
