First Day of School & First Panthers Game

Henry started 2nd grade this past week... he was SO nervous! But he wound up with perhaps the best 2nd grade teacher at the school thankfully, and according to Henry, he might like her better than his KDG & 1st grade teacher... so three days into the new school year & all is well! Note to self though - in future years, remove the back pack before taking required 1st day of school photograph! Dang reflectors!


Yesterday, we took the kids to a Panther's game - Kyra's first. The outfit below? Took 30 MINUTES to choose!!! Why? Because she hated everything else I picked out... apparently khaki is the ugliest color on the planet and bermuda shorts are just the worst!! But when all was said and done, she was quite proud of this ensemble!!





Spikersters had a little paint on this nose, so we had to check that out...




The kids had a blast at the game! Thank gawd the tickets were free since we had to buy $10 worth of face painting, $4 bottles of water, $8 worth of peanut butter cups and $5 nachos!!! The children refused to leave at half time - begged us to stay until the end... even Kyra was begging us to stay - I couldn't believe it!! They were so excited when we got to the car & realized they were still up at 11:45pm... ugh - today should be lots o'fun!!!
