Currently: digging out of the first two weeks of school, lots of stuff happening with my calling at church, a special blog feature coming up later this month, giving my Silhouette a workout with bulletin board projects, and an impromptu family trip to Scottsdale, Arizona over the holiday weekend.
And I nearly forgot that it is September! My blog & personal birthday month. Hello?! In years past I have written a few special posts here to celebrate all month long. I still want to do that, it will just be coming a little bit late.
Soccer is in full swing and Anna is L O V I N G it. I never would have guessed that my daughter would be the athletic one in the family! Ha! She has been practicing the goalie position pretty aggressively and has the scrapes on her knees to prove it. Her first game is tomorrow.
Payton is a happy little 6th grader right now. He comes home from school every day just happy! I love that. One day on the drive home from school he said thoughtfully, "I always imagine myself with a bow and arrow." So random. But that's what we love about Payton.
Transitioning each year up to 7th and now 8th grade, I have been so pleased with Conner's increased level of responsibility and time management. He gets home and takes care of business. I love that. He is planning to join the Krypto Club -- keeping those math wheels spinning after school hours.
Scott has a little jingle that he tells the boys on the drive to school. It started when Conner was in 6th grade. Scott felt he needed to give some much needed reminders (in a fun way) as he heads off to school. And it has continued, much to Conner's feigned annoyance.
