Luke's 1st day of Pre-K!

Luke started his first day of Pre-K today! He is attending preschool at our church, which is also where he has been for the last 2 years, so he was excited to go back and see his friends. Luke will be in preschool monday through thursday, which is a little too much for me, but I know he will enjoy it.

Yesterday we went to "Meet the teacher" and Luke was able to see his classroom and meet his teacher and classmates. He decorated his folder and was ready for school to start!

First day!

August

I haven't posted much the last month because we haven't done a whole lot! It has been a relaxing, HOT, and easy going month with the lots of trips to the pool and playing with friends. Luke is really looking forward to preschool starting next week, but I am going to miss him since he will be going 4 days a week. We did have a really fun family weekend, here are some pictures...

We spent thursday evening with Vic and Debbie. They wanted to take us out to eat at a Hibachi restaurant in Kemah and then take the kids to go on rides. We had a really fun time! Since they cook the food at your table, the kids were actually entertained and didn't mind sitting through dinner....a nice change since it seems like the only places the kids like to eat must have a play area (thank goodness for chickfila!).

The kids LOVE riding the rides at Kemah, and they have no fear. Luke's favorite ride is the "up and down" ride as he calls it. And Luke will proudly tell you he rode it 8 times! Both kids liked the airplanes and Abby's favorite is always a good carousel. Thank you Nana and Papa for a wonderful night!

Vic had Friday off so we took the kids for a end of summer treat to the beach at Moody Gardens. It was wonderful, they have white sand (must have come from very far away), a lazy river, wave pool, splash areas and slides for the kids. It was perfect and we enjoyed a day of swimming and playing on the beach, a great end to the summer.

Friends and Crafts

Today we had our friend Tyler over while his mommy was working, and the kids had so much fun playing together and doing crafts. It has been so horribly hot that we have had to be a little more creative in our activities!

Finger painting!

They REALLY liked the scissors, I kept a close eye on everyone to make sure no one got a free haircut :-)

Showing off their maracas....I am sure Tyler's mommy was happy for him to come home with an annoying musical instrument!
