Summer and School Update


I can't believe summer is over and the new school year has begun. We had a great summer, I posted some pictures on the sidebar... We had a couple of swim parties, including a 4th of July party and Maddox's Beach Birthday Party. We got to see my grandparents on both sides, we also went to Lake Texhoma and the kids all had swimming lessons. Mason learned the butterfly stroke, Myla worked on her breathing and her front to back turn, and Maddox swam under water for 5 seconds. It was fun. The biggest lesson I learned this summer was that "I'm bored" turns into great fun if you can just wait out the whining, haha.




We are very excited about the school year. Mason is in second grade and his excitement about school has not waned. He starts gymnastics and boy scouts this month. Myla started a new preschool, it's sort of a Montessori school with less structure and more emphasis on imagination and play. Myla is my creative one, so I'm hoping this will be a good way to encourage her learning style. The pictures of the park are of her playground. It is amazing, it has many fun, different play structures and a real bunny! She starts ballet this month also. Maddox will be home with me this year. I'm looking forward to the days I get him alone. Be sure to look for the impressive "cereal mountain" he made with his cereal one morning. That's all I have for now!
