The wind has been coming in strong the last few days, our kids have been wanting us to fly a kite. So Dedrick took the kids out back and stood on the play set to get a better angle for wind.

Volcano and Kite
Aidan got a volcano making kit earlier this year and we finely were able to make it. He was so excited to show everyone how it works.
First Day of School
So all my babies are in school this year:). It feels strange to have the house to myself all day. I do miss them, yet I am able to get a lot done. I also started school myself this year to get my degree in Special Ed Teaching. I have three and half to four year left. Wish me luck!

Last Day
We had the opportunity to see my good friend Desiree and her two girls from Alaska. She was visiting her family in Kansas City. So we decided to drive up on the last day of summer and spend the time with them. We spent the afternoon in a cool park with big size play houses turned into an old town. Then we went to lunch and talked about our lives over the years. My kids and I had a great time with old friends, what a good way to end summer break!

End of Summer
So it is that time a year again! When the kids are asking when school starts and not wanting summer to end! We have not done much this year because of my husband traveling a lot and me working more hours. We have been taking outings with our friends the Marshall's and Stark's.
We had the opportunity to visit the Cocoa Dolce Artisan Chocolate factory for a home school field trip. We even got free chocolate, met the owner, got to see how they used the different machines for the many chocolates. Then went to their store a few blocks way and see much more of the company. All the kids enjoyed it very much and were very good, considering there were 7 of them.
On another day that week we went to the zoo for a home school field trip. The kids had fun running to see all the animals and hearing cool facts about them. We even got to see the trainers working with the elephants and do tricks for us.
Other than that we have been just playing with friends, going swimming, checking out library books and getting very muddy! The other reason we haven't done much this year is how hot it has been. You go out and five mins later you are back in the house sweating and melting.
We have had a good summer, hope this school year goes well!
Imagine what he look like before he changed!!!
