1st day 2016-2017 (part 2)
My mini-me, Shecklet #3, is off to her first day of kindergarten!
Here she was at the end of the day. Her response to my asking how the day was, “Can I go back tomorrow?!?” I think that means she had a great 1st day!

1st day 2016-2017 (part 1)
Shecklet #1 and Shecklet #2 started a new school year today. Fourth grade and second grade. I can hardly believe it! Part 2 of back to school starts on Thursday. #4 asked to have her picture taken with her oldest brother. (#3 is MIA because she was still sleeping.)
Supply drop
VBS week is almost finished, which typically signals the supply drop for the new school year. We ate lunch, loaded up the backpacks with supplies and headed to the school.
Plant Nite
Kari invited her mom and sisters out for a Plant Nite to celebrate her birthday. Larissa couldn’t make it, but the rest of us had a fun time!
Safety camp
Incoming 4th graders have an opportunity to attend a 2-day safety camp through the city. It received two thumbs up from Shecklet #1. His younger brother is excited to attend next summer. 🙂
Purple hair
When I was in college, I dyed my hair auburn. Apparently in the right light, it looked purple. A roommate of mine called me “Purple hair Roni” as a result. Flash forward a few years and I actually dyed my 5 1/2 year old’s hair purple. Real purple. Purchased by Auntie Kari 💜 It turned out great and Shecklet #3 has had so much fun with it.
Shecklet #4’s painted chair
We now have a complete set of chairs for our painted table. Shecklet #4 spent some time creating her masterpiece this afternoon. It was fun watching her creativity grow.
Valleyfair 2016
Grandpa Dave and Grandma Patti took us to Valleyfair as part of Grandpa Dave’s work outing. Shecklet #2 couldn’t get enough of the Corkscrew – he and Jake went on it 4 times in a row! It was a hot day, so we tried out Thunder Canyon (minus Shecklet #4 because she wasn’t tall enough.)
She pulled it herself!
Shecklet #3 lost her first tooth this afternoon! And she pulled it all on her own 😀 
Xmas in MG 2015
Lots of laughs and fun memories made today. It was our niece’s first Xmas, which made it even more special.
Shecklet #4 received pink “sheeters” just like Nana. Her big sister also received a purple pair. Papa had to work hard to get the lenses out of the frames! The girls had a lot of fun helping everyone else open their gifts. And the boys waited very patiently as we took turns pulling surprises out of our gift bags.
