Special Braid

I do different things with Lexi's hair most days.  As we were heading out, Lexi wanted to see the back.  I snapped a picture for her & decided to post it too.

Hurt at School

This afternoon, I got a call from the school nurse.  She told me that Lexi had hurt her back on the playground.  I said I would pick her up.  She told me that she was swinging from the bottom of a bridge and then her fingers slipped.  One of her friends did the same thing.  The scrape wasn't bad, but she whined every time she moved.  I let her read a few books and relax for the rest of the day.

School Picture Day

Math Night

This evening, the kids had math night at their school.  We haven't attended these things before, but I read that the school gives out homework passes for those who attend.  It was a fun night with lots of math games.

Extra Recess

Since the kids' school only allows 20 minutes for recess, I walked them over to the playground to get out some of their energy this evening.  They had fun.

BYU Cougar Fans In Enemy Territory

Today, the kids randomly decided to wear their BYU Cougar shirts.  I couldn't believe it, especially since BYU just beat the University of Texas in football this weekend.  Football is serious business around here.  Both of them mentioned that their teachers said they had watched the game.  That was about all they said.

End of Summer Pool Time

When school started, the local pools closed during the week and are only open on the weekends for the rest of the month.  We went today to make sure that we can get the last bit of swimming in.    

Second Week of 2nd Grade

The second week of school started off with Labor Day.  We spent the day at pools with close friends.  This was a busy week.  This evening, we went to the elementary school for 2nd grade orientation.  We all went because I didn't have a babysitter.  Lexi and Jordan sat in the hallway, while I was in Lexi's classroom.  There were a few other kids with them.  

Wednesday was the day that the kids were supposed to wear silver/gray for character development.

Thursday evening the kids had an audition for a local children's choir.  It officially starts in 2 weeks.

Spirit Day - I had to get the kids new school shirts.  Apparently, the ones they had were "so last year."  I can't complain really about that since they've had them for 2 years.  These shirts also look better.
