It's Official, We Have a 3rd and 5th Grader!

A new routine started this week with the kiddos back to school 5 days a week with Amy and Adam transporting the kids to school (instead of riding the bus).  We hope that all of our family and friends had a relaxing weekend!  We are sending good thoughts to everyone.

First day of school on Tuesday - for the odd grades.  This was to allow a smaller group of students to learn the new protocols: masks, hand washing, distancing.
The kids insisted on wearing their masks for their picture.


Thunder LOVES the smell of Adam's dirty cow milking clothes :)  We think the kittens were born on a farm and most likely near dairy cows...hahaha.


Making Grandma's cookies on Wednesday - the kids had the day off from school while the even grades learned about the new school protocols.  Ayson and Addie learned how to make a double batch of cookies - (ahem, fractions :)


Yum!!!!


Amy's first time running and jumping off the deck into the pool!



On Wednesday afternoon, friends joined us for a last swim before the official start of school for all elementary kids on Thursday.




Trampoline fun while Adam works on the deck


A friendly competition of PIG


And frisbee fun!

The kiddos helping Adam on Saturday morning with the bolts on the deck.  Addie looks thrilled.


The kiddos found a rock in our yard that had a special message on the back: Regan's Acts of Kindness.  Ugh, a family in Syracuse is honoring their almost 4 year old daughter that was hit by a car and killed in the parking lot of her preschool - ALL while holding her Daddy's hand.  :(  
The acts of kindness are in tribute to Regan and Amy found out that our neighbor put the rock in our yard.  The kids want to place the rock at the "big park" next!
