Me and my SWEETIE PIE. We both happened to be wearing flowers this morning which we both thought was hilarious and worthy of a photo shoot:
We are so close I can hardly handle it. Kindergarten starts on the 11th. I've never met a more prepared and more excited kid. He did, however, admit that he was feeling "just a tiny bit nervous but mostly happy and excited" as we were walking into his open house.
The playground at his school is so fun and it's the first time we have played there!
We got to sit at his desk, meet his desk-mates, meet his teacher and get all kids of fun information. I'm a little overwhelmed with everything to come! School and classroom iPhone apps, lunch calendars, school lunch accounts that need to be filled, classroom rules (what to bring, what not to bring), pick up and bus schedules, making sure everyone is on the "approved to pick up" list, school supplies, parent-teacher conference schedules, curriculum nights, and ON and ON and ON. And I consider myself to be a fairly organized and on top of it parent! YIKES. I also just called to schedule his annual ear doctor check up and his regular well child check up and now that he is about to start school, his schedule is something I have to consider! It was nearly impossible finding a good time between their availability, his school hours, his soccer practice and hip hop class schedule and my work schedule - but we managed to do it.
FOR REAL: all of you parents of who have these responsibilities x 2+ kids, may I please bow down to you (and offer you a glass of wine)?
After visiting his class we got to have an ice cream treat with our friend/neighbor Sammy (and the rest of the school - big kids included)!
On Friday night, we went to our first Bothell High School football game! It was REALLY fun. We made the rookie mistake of not bringing snacks or cash to buy them, so next time we will be more prepared! But it was so fun to see and despite their big loss to Woodinville, Bothell has a great team this year.
On Saturday, we hit the gym in the morning and then spent the entire rest of the day at Denny Park with our neighbors Melissa, Marc, Sammy and Sully. They brought a grill, a paddleboard and a kayak and it was truly the perfect way to spend a hot summer day!
On Sunday we went to the park with Rachel, Raleigh and Pepper, followed by hanging in the pool at our house.
