We had a Great 1st Day!

They had a great first day! I was one of the anxious moms waiting in line a little earlier than necessary. They were all smiles and had great green light days. Hope even made a self portrait 

1st Day Of School

First day if school has started with many tears from this mom. How can my babies be this big? This fast? They woke up to a big breakfast. Put on the outfits they picked out. Posed for a ton of pictures and got got the apple cookies for their teachers. That Hannah insisted they bring. They both keep telling me, "it's okay, Momma. I'm going to have a great first day!" 

CRES Ice Cream Social

The girls had their Ice Cream Social at Cumberland Road Elementary last night. Hope met her Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Turner. She was Hannah's fantastic kindergarten teacher. We are counting are blessing that Hope got her. Then Hannah met her 2nd Grade teacher Mrs. Hudson. She's a horse lover, too. We are looking forward to a great school year! 

National S'mores Day

We went to Ritchie Woods Nature Preserve for S'more Day. They had artisan marshmallow, a variety of chocolates and graham crackers.   We brought safe s'more fixings for Hope. Hannah had a dark chocolate marshmallow and dark chocolate. I tried a coffee marshmallow s'more. Then we hiked the trails. 

Indiana State Fair

We had a fun, hot and exhausting day at the Indiana State Fair. We started with bar b q and snow cones. Then it was off to animator's exhibit followed by the dairy cows in the livestock barn where the girls pet a calf. We rode the Ferris wheel and rode ponies. Finally, the girls learned how to be farmers in a children's farm activity. They learned to milk a cow, pick chicken eggs, plant seeds and sheared sheep. What a great way to spend our last summer weekend.
