Turning 8 is great!
Today Shecklet #3 turned 8! She requested a Texas sized donut like her big brother had. Since you only turn 8 once, I surprised her with two donuts that made an “8.” 🍩🍩

City gathering
The day was perfect for attending our city’s “block party” where the kids could check out City Hall, all kinds of city vehicles, inspect the jail, and try on police gear, among other things.
September Sunday Funday
The weather this weekend has been beautiful. It’s one of the reasons we love Minnesota. Yesterday we spent some time outside at the newly remodeled French Lake Park (no pictures, just memories in our heads.) Today, Jake is playing Settlers of Catan with Shecklets 1, 2, & 3, while I’m drawing chalk animals with Shecklet #4.
First day of school – round 1
Shecklets 1, 2, &3 started 6th, 5th and 2nd grade today! (I get two more days with Shecklet #4 before she starts her new adventure.
Back to school night
Or afternoon.
It’s day 4 of VBS week, which means it’s back to school night for the kids. Time to find out who their teachers are, drop off the supplies, and in the case of Shecklet #4, get an idea as to what the building looks like. All four Shecklets will be at the same school and on why same schedule for the next three years. Yeah for that!
Stacie and Nick get hitched!
My SIL got married today!
I didn’t take many pictures – just enjoyed the evening.
The picture of Jake above was taken by his aunt 🙂 I love his zest for life!
ETA: We didn’t get a picture of just the two of us looking spiffy last night, so we took a “day after the wedding” photo instead. We did get a couple of family pictures that I’m hoping turned out well. Fingers crossed!
ETA 12/21/18 – Here’s a family photo from the day. Don’t we clean up well??
Freshly cut
Shecklet #3 decided she was ready to cut the blue (now gray) ends of her hair off. She looks so much older!
