Party!

Ben celebrated his birthday over the weekend with a group of friends at Play CLE.  After they completely wore themselves out, we all came back here for dinner and cupcakes decorated by aunt Corrie, who is home for Bens birthday for like the first time ever!!!

By the end of the night we had 10 guests.  7 were girls.  I really don't love that!

For someone who is afraid of heights, he's doing an amazing job of jumping off tall platforms!

First Day!!!

The school district has a very late start this year.  Since we have our big Disney vacation this fall, the boys are starting school early to compensate a bit (and they want to rub it in Ellies face when they finish a month earlier than she does). 

We're easing in with just a few subjects today.  The boys were definitely not happy to start, but were pleasantly surprised when we finished after just a few subjects.

First day pictures had to be done in pj's since we home school and obviously live in our pj's!

The signs are hard to read here.  Sam wants to be a You Tuber or work with computers like daddy.  Zach wants to be a You Tuber or work at Dairy Queen.  Ben wants to be a chemist!

Tired

Summer was made for staying up late and cat naps in the car.
