Summer is Over.

Today is the First Day of School!! Christina starts her Senior Year, Zachary starts Third Grade, and Caleb starts Kindergarten! Saturday, Mike took Caleb shopping for his backpack and lunch box. He got coordinating Spiderman Backpack, and Lunch box! How cute! Zachary did not want a new backpack or lunch box. He found a BLUE backpack we have had for ages, from who only knows where or when, but its BLUE, and thats what he wants. Who are we to argue NOT spending any money on a new one? Caleb is so super excited to start Kindergarten, that Saturday morning he woke Mike up, completely dressed with his backpack and shoes on, ready to go to school. He was even finishing eating his breakfast which is why his cheeks are full. The boys love to color. They will spend the longest time drawing pictures and coloring them. He is so obsessed with Golf, he even draws it! Mike took the boys for a last beach vacation before school starts. They found a different beach and they had it all to themselves! Thats a pretty cool city that they built! Aww! I love these pics! Best Buddies! Or else they are trying to pull each other into the water... Wow! Check out that road! They stayed 2 nights. One at the Putt Putt Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, the other in Jupiter. Zachary fell at the hotel and scraped his face up. What IS it with my kids getting hurt? They are conked out after a busy day at the beach. Caleb learned to swim during this trip. We knew once Zachary started swimming, that Caleb would quickly learn. He swam the entire length of the pool. But not in these! Someday Caleb, you will fit in these. NO Rush!!!! While the boys played down south, Frank and Christina went to Universal Studios! Elektra's new shoes light up when she walks, so she was dancing around making them light up. Her and I played Tattoo Parlour. She told me what to paint on her and where. Of course, I had to give myself a little tattoo too. This weekend Mom and Dad were here so we met up with our Cousin June and her 2 kids, Dixon, 18 and Cody, 14. Everyone came over to the Blue House for a BBQ then we went to the Circus. We had fun seeing the Elephants and Tigers! Check out my moms hair. I cut 8 inches off! We were up high, but actually had very good seats. They don't do a 3 ring circus any more. More like one continuous show, so you really get to see the entire show. Cousin June and her son Cody. I didn't get one of Dixon tho. Did anyone else? Send it to me!! Dad and I enjoyed watching the Circus too!
