Those last summer moments

The kids jumped in the pool one last time the other night.  The water was about 76 degrees, but that didn't stop them.

And here's a short video of the kids at the park.  If you listen carefully, you can hear Jada bribing Beckett with a sucker!  Ha Ha!

Figuring out our routine

Routine.  

Get Dressed.  

Eat breakfast.  

Pack lunch.  

Brush teeth.

No more lazy summer mornings. :-(  

But the kids are both enjoying school.

Beckett started preschool last week and is loving it!

Tenley wants to go too!

Jada - 2nd grade / Beckett - preschool

"Signing" himself in for the morning!

First morning...very excited!

On to some house news...I've been "working" on a project lately for the stairwell.  I knew what I wanted to do, but needed to hunt down the right items to use.  I found this really cool mirror at a garage sale.  I didn't like all the gold on it though, so Nate spray painted it white for me and here it is!

I decided not to put the mirror back in the frame and just use it like it is.

It's still a work in progress as I don't even have pictures in the frames yet, but here is the current stairwell!

And in other news, Tasha (below) moved in this past week and will be staying with us through December.  She is here from Canada and is working at Cypress as an intern this semester.  She is very sweet and the kids love her! :-)
