Help Yourself

This little guy is grateful for the harbor garbage. I'll come back later.

I stopped for gas and...

...left with toys. Maverick is not the most cost effective place to buy these items. Oh well. They like them. :)

Emma was invited to a "sweet" birthday party last night. Everyone made their own cake.

The peaceful sleep of children is something every parent loves.

Book

Addi and I made a book of her "people." Painters tape works well for binding.

The "cardboard" puppets are taking shape.

Hanging Out

Preston, Bella & Emma

...hanging out after school and making paper puppets.

Get Them Right

Whatever works so Emma can learn her spelling words.

Pictures

The girls have school pictures tomorrow.

Working The Brain

Addi is always working on something pertaining to school.

Daily Routine

...dinner and a little homework.

...hanging with Dad at the harbor after school.

Hear Her Roar

Emma isn't exactly the most cheerful morning person. Waking her is always a favorite of mine.

Let's Peddle

...almost time for the daily ride home from school.

Addi sometimes fails to enjoy the ride home from school.

I'm always looking for scenic shots during garbage collection at the harbor.

Breather

The kids took a break from the long and tiresome "1/2" mile trip from school.

Not Happy

Addi wasn't very pleased and gave me the silent treatment.

Addi is "touching" the Charmin. Maybe I just dated myself. Nevermind.

Works For Me

Uncooked Ramen noodles keeps Emma a happy girl.

Kindergarten

Today was Addi's first day of kindergarten.

Fashion

...crazy socks and shoes day at school.

Rolling

The girl is rolling!

The Training Is Over

Addi lost the training wheels and is truly "bikin'."

This was another day of best buds for an hour and arguing the next. Pretty typical for siblings.

Addi does a great job with keeping her room clean.

Super Helper

Addi is the cleaning beast. :)

It's about time for a break from the tablet.

2nd Grade

Emma's first day of 2nd grade ended with a mouth full of peanut butter.

Reading

Emma loves her books and Dad loves how her future will be better because of them.

Boom

...and the boaters left and drove home. This was my first "real" thunderstorm (the shake the house kind) since living in Utah.

Addi needs her sleep or the drama is cranked up.

Mom had gifts from her business trip.

Harbor

...slow day at the harbor.

Emma is now front "toothless" after some drama.

Addi

Stir Crazy

Addi may need to get out of the house soon.

Ducks

Emma walked up to a senior citizen couple, sat next to them and started feeding the ducks.

A slumber party with the girls. My Dad skills rock. ;)

Tennis

Emma and Addi's tennis lesson.

Yep

Windy tennis is not efficient. ;)
