Back to School and Colt is 11!!!

Another late night lake trip—our neighbor stopped by so we didn’t even leave until 6:15 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ but it seemed like a good way to top off the first week of school. 
But it’s been a busy week, school, football getting started, Colts birthday…
So let’s see:
Saturday we were back to swimming in a green pool๐Ÿคฏ
It would’ve been fine if we’d vacuumed it first…but instead we stirred all that junk up. 




Sunday: 



Monday we invited friends out for a last day of summer slip’n slide party but only a few girls Seth’s age came. The older boys were not ammused! Tanner tried-Colt only left his book for Tanner’s sake Cann was at football—do I get points for trying? Hopefully. At least we got the pool back to blue. Yours truly was the one vacuuming it out this time!  






Then it was back to school…
Kindergarten 

3rd Grade

5th Grade

8th grade! (And didn’t want to get his new shoes dirty walking through the wet grass๐Ÿ˜) 


So far so good—except for Seth, that poor kid is SO TIRED he almost didn’t go today. Well actually he didn’t go with his brothers, but when he realized I wouldn’t let him watch Paw Patrol with Addi he said “Fine!! I’ll go to school!” So I took him. He HATES HATE HATES PE???? I’ve got to figure out if he got in trouble or something. Because it’s crazy. By today I’m realizing ug something isn’t right, I’ve got to get to the bottom of this. But earlier in the week I said “it’s ok Grama hates PE too” and Tanner just said “It’s probably just cuz she’s not ‘afletic’!” ๐Ÿคฃ So sorry Grama but that was his assessment not mine and it was kinda hilarious when he said it with the f instead of th and all. 
But where were we? Back to school Tues-Colt’s bday Wednesday! How is he 11? Time goes so fast! 
I was fit to be tied when Grama sent another stuffed monkey! (Sorry Grama you’re taking beating this post—but we love ya!) Back to the stuffed animal-We’re getting a little old for that AND we have tons…but when she told me his cousin crocheted it for him I took it all back—that’s pretty cool and she did a great job! It’s super soft and Seth and Tanner are hoping she can do their favorite animals too. Seth said “Elsie is so good she could crochet a house!” …๐Ÿ˜‚



More birthday fun…

I think he had a pretty good day! 
First shot! 

It was a busy day because they had children and youth too-but we took treats ๐Ÿ˜‹
And he wanted apple crisp instead of a cake but it got late so we just let the birthday extend a bit and did it Thursday after school. (I had it made Wed. Just to clarify ๐Ÿ˜‰) 



And back to the pool! 
 


Today our friends hooked us up with some pretty yummy chocolate! Tanner said “I’m chocolate sick.” Who knew there was such a thing? Ha—just kidding. 

And Colt trying out his new easel. 

There’s a few more random things…like you didn’t really think he was done with the car did you? And Addi modeling her new swimsuit. It’s a little big (good) but we’ve literally wore the other one out! Tonight -she was in the old one- and I was like “why didn’t dad snap you up?” But really 2 out of 3 snaps have pulled out of it! It’s been well worn! 



And tonight!!! Finally!!!!! I got up skiing!!!! 



I got up 4 times total, it went pretty good. After the first two I was content-I’d got up,  got in and out of the wake both sides. My legs were tired so good enough…then I looked at the pics Colt had taken and my stink’n swim suit was tucked up in my life jacket and my belly was hanging out. ๐Ÿ˜ณ No thanks! So I had to go again for a redo on the pics with my stuff tucked in. 
But I was pretty pumped I’ve have tried so hard for so long-it finally paid off! (Isaac might have been more excited than me๐Ÿ˜‰) 
So I like to post pics of my favorite skier but…I better be his favorite skier now too! 



And Colt’s our lake dawg. He and Addi came with us while Cannon (or rather the screens) tended! 
He got a new life jacket ๐ŸŽ‰ —see ya later purple beauty! (We can report to Tanner that it floats…he was worried ๐Ÿ˜‚) 



I think that’s it…for now.
