Yesterday, we were driving. Yes, that is what we do these days! Jackson and Raegan were eating a cracker, and Jackson said, "Boy, I'm glad this isn't cumbersome!"
What? Did my son just say, "Cumbersome"?
"Mommy, do you know what cumbersome means?"
"No, what does it mean?"
"It means really heavy. So, I'm glad this cracker isn't cumbersome!"
He was very proud of himself for using this word correctly! Boy, kindergarten must be advanced these days! Actually, he learned it on PBS kids. :)

Painting Grandma's Garage
On Saturday, we all joined in to help paint Grandma's garage. It looks so nice!
Homemade Fun!
The other day, the kids transformed our closet into a pillow playhouse! They spent hours in that small space.
Paint!
Here's what the outside of our house looks like! Chris did a great job picking out the paint.
First Day of School!
August 13 was the first day of school! Boy, we had such a fun summer, so it was sad to see the "end"; however, the kids were excited to start their year. This year was a little different because the kids are going to a new school.
That morning, we took Sydney to third grade. How is this possible?! She has done a great job so far in adjusting to a new teacher, new school and new friends.
That afternoon, we loaded back up and took Jackson to kindergarten. You might notice Jackson's patch. We found out the day before that Jackson had to wear a patch over his "good" eye because he has "Amblyopia"--lazy eye. This was a bit traumatic, mostly for Mom, but he has handled it well! Much of this is because God really took care of Jackson. First, his glasses arrived a week early. This significantly helped him to see, and he had to go to school only one day without the glasses. Second, he met a boy in his class who also had glasses. This boy told him, "I used to wear a patch, too!" Thank you , Jesus, for watching over us last week!

Here he is with his new glasses. He is so happy to be able to see!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!
This past week, we took the kids to the NBC tournament. 
I think the kids live for the treats, so we splurged on the icecream in the baseball cap cups. Messy, but Fun!
