Survival Mode

First day of school "We Survived" photo
One week down, 35 or so to go. The kids have adjusted really well to Dixon and other than a few first day mix ups, seem to be navigating their new school quite effortlessly. We're still struggling to actually get back into "school" mode at home...but we're working on it! The kids got to be car riders last week,  but have been officially back in the swing of things bus riders as of Monday. They'll be going to LEAD Academy 2 days a week and riding the bus to my office the additional 3.  Most days they won't have to be there too long as myself or John will run them home, but on the days they do they've got a designated "homework" area to use and plenty of snacks (as apparently being completely famished after school is a thing).

I'll be uploading the kids back to school interviews as well as a few answers from our annual back to school surveys later this week so you can hear first hand some of their favorite things...and least favorite things (namely doing actual school work of any kind...).





In other news Annabelle has signed up for soccer again this year and will be on the "Chargers" with Mac Johnson. Joe, (John's BFF and Mac's Daddy-O) & John will be coaching their team. Annabelle is insistent that this is her year for a goal and excited for her season to start!

Treaters

Here are the Branditos all ready to hit the streets trick or treating. We had a great time  & much to the kids pleasure came home with loads of candy. Of course their intake will be limited...but they haven't considered that just yet  (John already went through and claimed most of the kitkats) Gavin had trouble deciding exactly what he wanted to be this year. His top two picks, were Link from Zelda & a skeleton.  As you can see, in the end he decided on a skeleton. His costume was pretty cool & the bones were textured so you could feel them. The mask was short lived... thankfully... because honestly, it was a little scary... oh, and because it almost caused several accidents due to the limited visibility it provided. Heaven dressed as Abbey Bominable from Monster High. She's really into Monster High right now as I'm told it's very "cool" unfortunately her "cool" parents find most of the dolls a bit inappropriate, so really A...
