Shannon is back in South Dakota...but it appears she forgot something at our house...

...doesn't Ty look cool?

2nd Day

Olivia had her 2nd day of school today, and was super excited. She looked at me as we were heading out to the busstop, and said 'aren't you going to bring your camera'...hahaha...she's going to expect it everyday (I will spare you daily photos of her outfits, I promise, lol)...

First Day of School

First day of school today! Getting up at 6:30am....not so fun, lol (Lexi's bus comes at 6:50am)! 

Olivia woke up super early for her day, though her bus doesn't come until after 8am, but she was a little nervous...

Standing with Lena (who is going in the 2nd grade), at the busstop...

And then the bus started coming down the street...and she ran to me....needing some extra loves...**sob**

...and then off she went...

...and came home smiling and giggling with excitement!

She had such a GREAT day, though she was starving when she came home, lol! She cannot wait to go back tomorrow...me, on the other hand, I'm ready to keep her home with me!!

 Lexi...my 7th grader, had a WONDERFUL day, too! She was a little nervous going in, as she is not on the same team as ONE. SINGLE. FRIEND. this year.... but I know my Lexi girl, and know that she will make many new friends this year... and she had a GREAT day!

Double

See these two faces....

...its them against me starting tomorrow! Olivia will be gone full day in first grade....and I'm stuck with double trouble teaming up on me...I can only imagine the antics in store for me!

Ice cream

We had the ice cream social today at Olivia's school, and met her first grade teacher (whom I love)! Olivia is SUPER excited...

...and Bella wore most of the ice cream on her face, lol!

Gianna

I took pictures of sweet little Gianna today (and got my baby fix, lol)!! 

Here are some I've gone through...

Trick or Treat

We went up to Uncle Shaun and Auntie Sue's camp for the day today, for the kids to do trick or treat! Started off swimming in the lake...and Lexi was THRILLED when Uncle Shaun took her out on the jet ski...

Trick or treat time! Olivia was a zombie Monster High girl...

Bella, lol...was snow white. She ended up after seeing Olivia's makeup, deciding to be a zombie Snow White, lol....needing the white face paint, and dripping blood. We spray painted her hair, too...

Lexi, who decided she was too big to dress up, decided on just dressing 'weird'...and luckily there were 2 boys her age she could go off with...

Ty was a skunk again , and seemed to attract the dogs, lol...

And then Ty was done with walking, and hitched a ride with Uncle Shaun in the golf cart...

We ended the day with smores by the fire...it was a GREAT day!!

Canobie

Today was Keith's birthday! For his special day, he chose to go to Canobie! Just so happens, cousin Shannon is in town for the week from South Dakota...so we took she came with us (yay!).

 Keith, Lexi, and Shannon went on the Star Blaster...against Lexi's wishes...thinking by her face that she didn't love it...hahaha...

And then she was 'ok' when it was over, lol...though she said she will NEVER go on it again...

Hahaha...Keith and Shannon went on the UNTAMED...which at the point of this picture, they are going straight down (they are in the back row, outside seats)...

...and upside down...

And some of each of the kids...they had so much fun... Ty LOVED the water area...

Bella, who tends to be a little daring, wanted to go on alot of big guy rides, that she wasn't allowed on...BUT she had so much fun...

And Olivia went on more rides than she's ever gone on...

We ALL had a blast....we are ALL super exhausted, and Keith had a GREAT birthday!! We will celebrate with a little family party on Sunday!  And I'm sure I'll be posting more Canobie pictures as I go through them!!

Best buds

Bella and Keira...giggling away...
