Dream team

We had so much fun playing outside at Oakton today!

Max did not sleep in his soccer uniform but he put it on as soon as he woke up 

Practice!

The 100 degree streak is over!

No trip to Oakton would be complete without basketball!  Kira wanted to be officially part of team by wearing an adult large jersey that will fit her approximately never.

Kira drags the stool from the bathroom into the kitchen any time someone is cooking.  "Come!" she says as she  summons mommy back to her side.

Sports

Max went to daddy's basketball game this morning, played soccer this afternoon, and watched the Gator game tonight.  Kira and mommy went on a Target run that doubled as a play date with Tessa.

Max woke up at 5:30 with his shin guards on.  When Kira woke up 15 minutes later we gave up and came downstairs.

7 hours until game time 

She's got the shopping gene

Max did so well at soccer today!  It was SO hot.  His cheeks turned bright red before he even got the uniform on, but he got right on the field and kicked the ball around with a new friend before practice.  

"I can't believe I played in a real soccer game!  I love this!!"

Tired much?

TOUCHDOWNS!  Max and Jake thought the Gator fans were too loud.  Ha

Back in his soccer jersey for halftime 

The days are long, but the nights are short.

One week down

Everyone survived the first official week back at school.  The kids did great everyday, emphasis on day.  Mornings and nights are relatively torture (scream, cry, "NOOOO!") filled.  Hopefully that behavior is confined to school days and not weekends.

Morning reading

Someone saw a pack of fruit snacks peeking out of daddy's gym bag on the way out the door this morning.

This is Max's self portrait.  He told the class that it only has one eye because he was feeling silly.  That explains the silly face within a face that has his tongue sticking out.  It also explains the silliest of all the silly outfits he wore today.  His pants were so very short, but he came up with the brilliant idea to wear high socks to cover his ankles.  The penny-less loafers and belt (no belt loops on his pants) were an extra special touch.

Getting ready for his first ever soccer practice and game tomorrow!

Tonight the crying went beyond the normal realm of crank-a-rude, so either Kira was just really tired or sick.  Probably both.

Lights out early.  Until they were on an hour later.

Yuck

"A bug bit me in the arm pit!"

These shooting words were followed bya lovely revelation...

"I eat my hard boogers.  They're sweet"

Smorgasbord for the baby

Max asked why Kira is eating leaves.

Dressed up for day two

First day of the last year of daycare

Max practiced his handwriting for 'practice kindergarten'

He picked a good morning to sleep in, but at least he had the foresight to sleep in his clothes.

Max changed into pizza making clothes while Kira stuffed her belly with cheese

Rumor has it that Kira pointed to her tummy to show everyone the Minnie on her dress all day.

Water mine!

Water slides for Max and Timmy, the birthday boy!

Lazy river for the ladies 

Almost the end of the line for the bonnet

Everyone napped for 100 hours after the water park and woke up ready for some formal playground action 

Max asked, "can I have a special back ride home?"

Pool party

We spent the afternoon at the pool celebrating Timmy's 5th birthday!
