Saturday, September 13- Dylan had his first soccer game for the season. His new team wasn't very good, but Dylan loved playing. They practiced 2 times a week. Dylan mostly played as a defender, but he also played as a goalie sometimes, which he also loves.
Friday, September 11--Beckett had a birthday party at Pump it Up. Blake was invited, but he gets home from school so late now. The kids had so much fun at the party.
Earlier in the week, our preschool kids started. Preschool looks different, but everyone was so excited to be back at school. Us teachers were excited too. We all need some normal. It was fun to see my co-workers too. The ladies that I work with are amazing.
Saturday, September 7-Labor day, we went to the park with Avir and his family. Blake's friend Kenny is still not going out of the house, so it was just Avir and Blake. They do not have any classes together, so they have fun seeing each other.
September 3-This was a glorious day because the kids went back to school. Dylan starts school at 8 and is done at 3:07 and Blake takes the bus to and from school. School starts at 8:45 and is done at 3:52. He doesn't get home until 4:20. Blake wears a mask all day and lunch has assigned seating, which meant that they had 3 days to find their friends and sit at that same table, after those 3 days that is where they remain. There are 2 lunches per grade. For choir, he has to wear a mask and a face shield---a bit much huh?
Dylan is under age 10 so he isn't required, so guess what??? He doesn't wear it at school. He goes to his GT school one day a week. So he is required to wear a mask on the bus to and from the school and while at the school, but he is totally fine with it because his GT day is his favorite. His best buddy Jacob is part of GT, so they ride the bus together and go to class together at GT. (GT is gifted and talented, but around here they call it Alpha, which I think is a terrible name.)
The kids LOVED being back at school. My kids do way better learning at school then at home virtually.
During their online school, I was doing all my trainings for preschool and getting the room set up. It was so much work. Let me tell you, teachers are having to work extra hard to make school happen this year, so be nice to them.
August 31-Dylan's soccer season started with a new team. This team was really different from our last team, so it was different, but we were all happy to be doing sports again. His team is the Mavericks.
The day before we went to church and our area had just switched it up, so we could go twice a month at this point.
Saturday, August 29-We take the kids on dates, well, they call them island adventures. It was my turn to take Blake and he wanted to go to Ikea, so we went to Ikea and then went to a really yummy restaurant close to it. Blake loved the food and he loves to go to Ikea.
Then we had the Neumann's over to swim and eat. Aaron smoked some brisket and it was tasty. This time he made some burnt ends. Um, they were really good. Rowan is 9 months, almost 10 months old and that kid loved the brisket and the baked potatoes (he ate 2) and the fruit and the.....you get the idea. We always have fun with them!
August 20--I had to go into the preschool in the morning. And of course about 40 minutes before I was going to leave the program that the kids use for school wasn't working. We got calls and emails from their campuses and the school district. It affected most of DFW's school districts. Luckily, we had just one hiccup on Dylan's assignment, but then they were back in business. I was home to eat lunch with Dylan and then go to the park.
Then we got a package from Grandma and Grandpa. They got them a few shirts--including a Hawaiian shirt, some crafts, and some more masks.
This is Dylan watching TV. Makes me giggle.
