First day of School, Balloons and Labor Day

Cayden started Pre-K and Avery started PDO last week at our church. Cayden goes Tuesdays and Thursdays all day and then Fridays until noon. Avery only goes Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are so blessed to have a PDO, Pre-K and Kindergarten available in our Weekday Ministries at our church. Cayden was never anything but thrilled to go to school, but Avery was a little hesitant…(actually she screamed and cried), but Damon dropped her off this morning and said she went right to her teacher without a fuss! THANK YOU LORD!! We are having to adjust to Cayden not taking naps at school which has been interesting, but we aren’t having any arguments about bedtime! He practically falls asleep at the dinner table!

Avery and Cayden on their first day of school last week. Avery had no idea at this point what she was about to do! Poor thing with that cute smile…

 

Damon’s mom and Granny (Nana and GG) went with Damon and the kids to Furrs last week and had a fun time getting balloons by a woman raising money so she could minister in churches. I was WAY impressed with how good they are! I’ve seen balloon animals but nothing like this!!

Cayden and Avery spent the weekend with my (Erin) parents this past weekend and then we drove up yesterday to spend Labor Day with them and pick up the kids. Cayden and I couldn’t resist taking a picture with “Bob and Larry”! We decided Bob must have gone on a diet!

Damon and I couldn’t resist buying this cute frog cake for the kiddos at United. We almost always leave the store with some type of “impulse buy” but it is usually some candy for Damon, a new cereal we haven’t tried yet, or something that we just couldn’t resist because we went into the store hungry, but this time we settled on this too cute cake!

Notice they both have forks in their hands, but resort to their tongues anyway! I guess Daddy has rubbed off on them!
