Owen is 2 now!

Look at us!

The boys are now officially bodons in tae kwon do. They are very close to being Black Belts!
This past weekend we took a little trip out to the Berkshires in Massachusetts to visit a time share. We were smart enough not to give in to their sales pitch... and we were able to spend all day Saturday at the resort. The kids played on the playground, in the arcade, and they played shuffleboard! We also did a round of mini golf. It was fun, but not somewhere we'd want to go back to.
Saturday was our 11th anniversary! We took the kids out to dinner at Friendly's and back to the hotel for a swim. The boys loved the hot tub! Even Owen liked jumping into the pool!
School is going well, kids are doing good. It's a short post today because I'm extra sleepy!

back to school!

How does that song go, "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" Nah, I can't say that I totally feel that way, but I CAN say that it was time for them to head back to school, and structure, and routine.
Samantha is in 8th grade now. She is taking advanced Spanish and advanced Math. She ordered a special purple-zebra backpack and a Cody Simpson tee shirt to wear on the first day of school!!
Will is in 6th grade. He has all of his supplies color-coded and organized. He is mostly excited to get back to technology class.
Colby is in 4th grade. He didn't have much in the way of a supply list this year, so his backpack was fairly light! He got his hair cut and styled, and spent about 20 minutes in the bathroom last night blow drying it!!
Owen is here all by himself, but he doesn't notice yet. He did enjoy watching the bus go by a few times!
