Schools in!

Library card!

In our house on the first day of Kibdergaren you get a library card...here's her right of passage! And here's to a lifetime of reading and learning!

First soccer games of the season!

RL made a point, took some pushes from other kids and played fairly and hard! 

Hannah was goalie and blocked numerous attempted points, made a goal herself and played hard!

Kate made some good blocks, ran fast after the ball, kicked away a few attempted goals and played hard!

Soccer season rocks!

Oh my...

She's figured out how to take down the entire roll of toilet paper...

And all I can think about is the book where the kids does this and the mom says, "I'll like you forever I'll love you for always as long as you're living my baby you'll be!" It's so true...I'll like you forever I'll love you forever as long as I'm living my baby you'll be! 

Our first field trip of the year...

...was to the Children's Creativity Museum!!! I usually stay away from trips to SF because of parking, the cost, traffic...but this may be the last year homeschool one or all of them so we're going out with a BANG! And this museum was the bomb to that bang! 

The park was unbelievable...huge slides, sand, water okay (currently off!), so much fun. We could have stayed all day! But we played until the museum opened and that when more fun began...

...claymation...

...making your own video game...

...coding with dash...

...karoke...

And building. It was a full day with learning and laughter...the way childhood should be!

Play time!

She worked so hard to climb into this Lego table and then once inside she was so proud of her work...well done beautiful baby girl!

Reading sillies

We enjoy reading. We enjoy being silly. Perfect match ❤️

Back to work!

I've started working again...it's inky part time but that seems to be all the time I've got! Here's to the adventure of being an ES and working for he charter school!

One pancake...

...just one!

Fishing

This girl has caught the fishing bug. She saved her money to buy a pile of her own and in our trip to Shaver Lake she learned how to bait and care for her pole. She hasn't caught anything since our time at shaver lake despite the three times we've taken her fishing, but she seems to enjoy being out fishing and the challenge and hope of catching something.

She even gives her sisters a turn sometimes too!

Deep end swimmer!

This girl passed the deep end test! My life at the pool just got a bit easier (or more stressful depending on your interpretation!)

Play dates with friends

The older girls put the younger girls to bed in the crib...everyone was quite happy with the arrangement!

Spray park play date!

Fun times with our IGC friends! 

Soccer season begins again!!

Closing Ceremony

Softball is officially D-O-N-E!! It's been a fun season, especially since the girls are on the same team. But I'm done. Ready for a break. It's been real...its been fun...its been real fun!

Happy playing with Dad...

See Jane Run

On Saturday the girls and I ran in a race called See Jane Run. I ran with Jennifer and the girls ran with Olivia. We all enjoyed our treats at the end of the race...champagne and chocolate for me and chocolate milk and Luna bars for the girls. It was Rachel Lee's first race and she ran the entire mile!! Kate was also behind Hannah (in the lead) and Olivia (second) but at the end of the race Kate kicked it in and she finished before both older girls!! YAY! So proud of her! All my girls ran hard and had a great time.
