first weeks of september

these two munchkins got up TOO early and cuddled in my bed for a bit before getting ready for school. they really can be so sweet when they want. usually for the first 5 minutes in the morning...

 rex came home from school with this little poem today! of course, i cried!

Jamie planned a spur of the moment trip to come visit on Friday night!  we met up at a hotel in vestal at about 7:30ish. everyone was so excited to see each other! from the minute we got in the hotel room it was absolute chaos. so nothing's changed! the kids were running around, jumping from bed to bed, screaming, rex was annoying everyone. we wondered quickly why we thought it was a good idea! ;) BUT, we had a fantastic weekend filled with swimming, food, haircuts, food, and the discovery center!! thanks so much for making the trip girls, it was much needed! 

after we said goodbye on sunday, we headed to roro and papa's to visit. it's so nice to be able to stop over and visit!! they caught up on the first week of school info and then played in the yard and under the deck for a bit. then it was root beer float time!!!! it was a wonderful sunday visit!

malloy loves helping papa weed in the garden

rex had a rainbow of his face! 

so true! just so happens it was grandparent's day when we were visiting! 

 monday was back to school! they were both ready and excited!

 rex got home and we spent the whole day together! we ate lunch, played with legos, laid in the grass and looked at the shapes in the clouds, and played a board game! i don't know if i've ever spent so much time with just him!!!

we built our hotel room from the weekend - 2 beds, a chair and ottoman

this is our hotel

and this is the discovery center! 

 malloy started dance class! she LOVED it! it was great to watch her in her element - she's such a free spirit!
