Labor Day

We had a great Labor Day weekend. We went to Elk City and spent some time with my family. We played put put, the 66 museum, road the train, and went to a carnival. We did this 16 years ago. We all had a great time sleeping on the floor and just were ever we could find a spot. The only thing is that we did not get a chance to play games that much it seemed like we were going non stop. The kids were in a parade, but I did not get very good pictures to post.

Here we are at the 66 museum. Abby and Jacob on a ride.

First Day of School

The kids had a great first day of school. Abby is now in first grade. She is starting to like it more and more everyday. She has some little friends there also. She did not like it at first, because Jacob is in Pre-k and he gets to spend half of the day either with me or my mom since I am working at the doctor's office that I used to work for, before we moved to Virginia. I am only working part time until he hires someone full time. With Mike gone and me trying to work and two kids it is just crazy around here. I told Abby that I did not get to do anything fun while she was at school just work or clean house. I told her that I saved all the fun stuff for when she gets home and she thinks that is ok.

Jacob on the other hand told me that there is no reason for him to go to school, because he is not learning anything. All they get to do is play and color and he can do that at home.

Update

We have had a very busy summer. I was working at the church and the kids were going to swimming lessons everyday. I have to say they did very good. Abby is going to be on the first grade swim team and Jacob is going to be right behind her soon. They do not have a swim team for Pre-k or he would be on it. I am so proud of both of them. Jacob can jump in the deep part and swim with no life jacket, and Abby is doing a great swimmers dive in the pool. Only if she would stop holding her nose. She does not like for the water to go up all the time.
