Once school starts and you are busy watching football on the weekends, it feels like the weather should be cooler. I guess in some parts of the world that is the case and the first day of Autumn really feels crisp and lovely. But we have learned to accept Texas for all of its flaws and the heat in September is one of them.
This month we earned money at a lemonade stand, went on a date with our friends the Martin's to a High School football game, packed our suitcases and pretended to board a plane with half of our playroom again and baked Pinkalicious cupcakes which caused Olivia to try her very hardest to turn pink, including eating 4 herself. Isabelle was awarded as the Summer Reading Challenge Winner for second grade reading close to 2000 pages in June, July and August and was quite pleased with her Barnes and Noble Gift Card.
Olivia continued to learn what it meant to go to school and got picked to fill the Share Bucket with some of her favorite things to share with her class. Isabelle finally earned enough money to buy Saige, The American Girl, after we gave her a little money from an envelope we had from holidays past from Grandma Joan. We felt like what a great use of the money since Grandma always loved dolls and Saige spends most of her time with her grandma. It was a fun day when we traveled to The American Girl Store and brought Saige home for her first night.
Despite the (too) warm temps we kept busy with school, ballet, soccer and church and managed to sneak a few play dates in as well. Now we are on to pumpkin pie and some of the most fun holidays of the year...and hopefully some cooler weather.
