Go Knights!

The season begins!

UCF won their first game 17-0. It could have been a blow out, but maybe, just maybe they were saving some big plays (hopefully) for next weekend when we play USF Bulls.

First touchdown of the season!

It was a soggy day. Ponchos and slippery flip flops.

Knightro has spirit!

Kendall's first football game. We placed a gold arrow pointing to baby and a 'Future UCF Knight' sticker to let everyone know she was there.

I had a great time with my Red Bug Co-Workers!

GO KNIGHTS!

What a Crazy Week!

Two storm days off of school and the weather was clear. (I do have to admit having the 2nd day off of school was actually extremely relaxing! If you are a teacher and have to stand on your feet all day and go over and over and over procedures and routines...you would agree too!)

Then one day back and it was drenching rain.

Another day off, that was finally well deserved.

Lauren actually adjusted nicely with the on and off again school days.

T.S. Fay created our very own backyard pond. NO fishing allowed, please.

THEN, T.S. Fay moved on and picture day is here!

Ahh... I wasn't prepared for picture day so soon.
Here is my little model practicing her smile.

Tropical Storm...Where are you?

As we are waiting, and waiting, and waiting for this horrible weather we have not seen all day, we are playing beauty shop! Lauren loves getting her toes painted. "Just like the princesses", she tells me. I truly don't think she's seen their toes before? NO school again tomorrow............what will tomorrow bring for us?

Better get out my old clothes, maybe we'll paint?

A Rough Morning

Today was the official 'Back to School' with the students for Mommy. The morning to get ready started really rough. Lauren woke up at 4:30. An hour or more than I had planned to wake up. She wanted me to cuddle in her bed with her. So I dragged myself in her room (with my cell phone of course ~ I didn't want to not have an alarm with me.) She tossed, turned, and just would not go back to sleep. As the bags were starting to form under my eyes, my alarm went off! Lauren begged me to stay in her bed with her. Even though she was tired, she rather stay awake with me as I get ready for school then lay back down. We all had an exhausted start to our day. Finally after I left, she was eating cereal on the couch waiting for Daddy to take her to school and...she fell asleep. We are very surprised that Bailey didn't jump at the chance to grab her food! Daddy took a quick picture with his phone before waking her up for school.

Look at Me!

Skating is hard work!

Withdraw?

Partners in crime were happy to have the weekend together.

Bailey is going through Lauren withdraw.

And....she's off!

Lauren is back to school! This morning her teacher was so happy to see her. Her friends came up and gave her huge hugs to welcome her back. She gave Daddy a kiss good-bye and plopped right down in her chair to start the day. It's so delightful that she loves her school!

Bear-Wear

After many dry pull-ups and no accidents, so far....Lauren is solely wearing underwear!

Today, since she is so proud of herself, Lauren wanted to buy her bear matching underwear.

Say good-bye to pull-ups/diapers..............for now. :-)

Summer is coming to an end :-(

These two are sure going to miss each other! Lauren uses Bailey as a pillow when watching her cartoons. I know Bailey will miss her company when Lauren goes back to school.
