Familypalooza & First Day of School

I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day. We took the kids to "Familypalooza," a carnival of sorts that our church hosted. They had lots of games and fun things for the kids to do. The lines were so long, it felt like we were at Holiday World. We're not used to such big crowds at these things!

Here is Lily playing in some gray water at the end of a water slide.

The water was pretty yucky, but it kept her cool and happy.

Pony rides!

I'm trying to figure out how to post a funny video of Jack and Abbie boxing with gigantic gloves. Short on time right now, but I'll try to get it to you soon.

Our bigger news is that Abbie and Jack had their first day of school today! They had an opening ceremony with bagpipes and a big pipe organ. Both kids loved their first day. Jack said this is the best school he's ever been to (he's had such a long school career). Abbie loves her teacher, and is making new friends.

I just LOVE the kids in their uniforms!

Now if that doesn't put a little grin on your face, you just can't be human.
