Where did September go. I can remember getting excited for school to start for both kids and worrying about silly things like which lunch box to "let them choose" , will she cry, will he cry, will they like it, etc. Now, we are in our full Fall routine and they seem to LOVE school. Why do we worry? Who knows. Kaden likes school and is a "late bird", which means he doesn't start school until 9:10 a.m. Matty and I wonder how other parents who don't have a stay at home mom juggle these random school times , although we are thankful for extra time in the morning. We are also thankful for our neighbor Jessica who is helping get Kaden to school on W/F because Kaden and Cassidy have to get to school at the same time. This is just the beginning of juggleing kids schedules. Cassidy jumps up and down with excitement when she gets to go to school and likes to stay for lunch bunch. She makes me laugh because I get the full "run down" of who played with who, what they played, and which art supply did or did not get to be glued to her paper...did I mention glue and tape are her favorite things.
September was fun and we were busy doing lots of fun family activities. Thank goodness for cameras or I might forget altogether what we have been doing. Seems like we have been crazy busy since we got back from Florida (gotta love Disney World). We had a great time at Grandma Mona and Papa Chickie's Labor Day Pool Party. All the cousins were there and the kids had fun in the pool playing, chatting on the waterfall, and eating ice cream sundaes. We went to a neighborhood block party and Kaden was THRILLED to be able to ride his bike in the street. He wanted to know when the next "festival" was going to be. We finished off Labor day weekend at the Rincon Beach with neighbors. There is nothing cuter than waching kids at the beach.
After that ,Cassidy started up preschool and got back to ballet at Teacher Ashley's house. Did I mention that Kaden started soccer and... hip hop at Teacher Ashley's too. Kaden was so jealous of Cassidy's ballet recital last year, that we had him join the fun of hip hop class (we'll see how long it lasts). He goes with his friend Rocky and they both seem to like it (although Uncle Josh keeps saying ahggghgg....how about football).
Heading up to cousin Cary's house in Ojai was a blast. The kids all swam, (jenny don't read this)jumped in the trampoline, played ping pong, held snakes, surfed in a pool, and petted goats. The big boys rode around on pint size motorcycles. Fun for all.
Josh heard the acronym for AYSO and we have found it to be so true...All Your Saturdays Gone. Kaden LOVES soccer and wishes he never had to take a break on the sidelines. Mom and Dad wish it were every other saturday so that every Fall weekend wasn't sacraficied to soccer, although we love watching him play. On a personal note, I love watching Matty out there as coach Matt.
We have had several visits from the Ross clan in throughout the summer and into the fall. The kids adore playing with eachother. And we love watching Alex balance 3 kids while Cameron is flying. You two are amazing the way you juggle it all! Sawyer is the highlight of each visit for Kaden. He ADORES that kid.
And finally, we headed down to Disneyland for a couple of days with Grandma Marcia. Good times always... Grandma Marcia celebrates the kids 1/2 birthdays because Kaden's is so close to Christmas time. So this time, it was Cassidy's 1/2 birthday and we headed to Build a Bear. After about an hour, we left the store with "Headband" and "Color", a pink bear with a purple prom dress and a pink sparkle heand band, and an electric blue bear covered inrainbow peace signs . The names are classic. After Build a Bear (DowntownDisney), we headed to Disneyland for "just one ride". One fire works show and several rides later it was 10:15 pm and time to go to sleep so we could wake up and do it again. They love it and have fun and that is what it is all about!
I guess that is about all for September!!!
