September Already!

It’s hard to believe that it’s September already and that the kids have been in school for 2 weeks now.  Zach seems to be doing well and we have had no hint that he’s just got up and wandered out of his classroom during the day.  🙂  Sarah continues to enjoy Seminary and is loving the fact that the new high school is not over-crowded, having only Freshman and Sophomore classes.  Brittany is now running Cross Country.  They have a very small team this year due to the boundary changes in the high schools and middle schools.  She is one of only 3 8th grade girls on the team!  🙂  Kirstyn is doing well also, and just loves her teacher!  We still struggle with not enough time to get everything done and the kids struggle with coming home and getting right into their homework.  😐

Tonight we had a young women and young men combined activity at the church and had a lot of fun.  It was originally a movie night, but a large inflatable screen was brought into the gym (probably 10×10 foot in size) and we played Disney Scene-It, boys against girls.  All of the kids were encouraged to dress up as their favorite Disney character, and we had a great showing!  I was one of the judges and it was difficult to pick the top 5 and then to pick the best-dressed character!  As you can see, we had some really wacky costumes, and had some very brave young men show up in full “High School Musical” attire.  🙂  In the end, the winner was Minnie Mouse, just because the cheer from the younger girls was so high-pitched and loud.  The boys couldn’t scream any better!

After the activity, I took Sarah, Brittany, and  Taylor (Sarah’s friend) out for frosties at Wendy’s.  Sorry you missed out on this, Carmen!  They were really good!  🙂
