Back to School and End of Summer Fun

Well, since the last blog, we had a fun little stop at Jacob's friend Josh's lemonda stand to benefit Alex's Lemonade. The kids were more into their new puppy and the free lollipops, than the lemonade, but it was pretty cute watching them stand in line.

We went to our friend Nicholas's 2nd birthday, it was at a bounce place, but they have some playground equipment inside. Gwyn wanted to spend the whole time in the house, but HAD to have her Daddy in there with her, and since she has him wrapped around her finger, Brian spent a majority of the time hanging out playing house with Gwyn.

Sunday we made the trip down to League City to visit Brad, Erika, and Maddy. It had been awhile since we had seen them, and the kids played together great. Jacob and Maddy had weekly playdates until they were 1 year old, and it is amazing how much they are growing up. Gwyn just tried to keep up! Brad cooked some crab for us and it was YUMMY!

We also went to visit Jacob's school, since he started back last week. We went up on Tuesday and spent almost an hour playing in his room. His classroom has a science center, a hamster, a dress up area, a puppet area, lots of toys, a "home" area, and two different craft areas. He was super excited for school on Wednesday, was a little scared about going in, but on Friday, he walked right in like a big boy who didn't need his mommy anymore! I was proud and sad at the same time. Gwyn REALLY wanted to go, I had a hard time keeping her under control because she wanted to go to "scool too."

We had a great rest of the week and weekend. Here are a couple of pictures that I thought were cute. This one is of Gwyn getting to play with the waterhose...she usually doesn't get to because Jacob LOVES the waterhose, so this was a rare occasion, of which went sour really quickly when she couldn't control it and soaked herself and got REALLY upset...I missed a picture of that.

Jacob is getting into dress up, big time. Here is him on a typical day:

Here is Gwyn on her zebra rocking horse. She gets a little out of hand on this and has gone over backwards several times, she loves her "zeba."

We went over to Jason's place on Sunday evening to swim and eat pizza! It rained a bit on us, but we had fun! Oh, the first picture up top is of the kids drinking some undiluted kool-aid that Brian gave them, needless to say, neither came up for air until they had drank it all!
