Ice Cream Social

Last Thursday, Ariel was getting ready for school early.  
Later that night, it was the ice cream social at the school.  
The kids were mostly running around outside.  We went inside to get pretzels, popcorn and ice cream.  

Long line!  Amy helped.  
The kids went into the woods behind our house.  
Ariel had friends over.  

Last Friday, we walked the twins to school.  

I went to Chipotle for lunch.  It's been a long time.  It was ok.  Such a difference when we used to go when it first opened.  It would be so packed.  Now it's pretty empty.  
My trainer at the gym in comic style.  


We drove to the shore.  Of course Amy's Cheerios ended up everywhere.  
Ariel had Cece and Emily.  
There they are!
We watched the University of Miami's first game.  They were great!
Have a great weekend!

Back to School Nights

Last Tuesday, Ariel was super nervous about going to school.  The first day it was only the freshman.  This day all the kids were there and she heard the upperclassmen might be mean.  I had to pick up a friend so she had someone to walk in with.  The senior girls looked nice to me!
We walked the twins to school.

Noah had his first soccer practice of the season.  
It's a nice night and it's a big team!
Later that night was back to school night for the twins.  The 6th graders are considered one big group so the teachers presented together.  
Last Wednesday, I had lunch at Panda Express.

Ariel had a doctor's appointment in King of Prussia so of course we had to hit the mall after.  
She bought stuff at Edikted and Garage.  
Chocolate covered strawberries.  
Eli got a scary new rug.  Don't fall in!
Back to school night for Ariel.  



It was fun running from class to class.  We knew a few of the teachers and they all seemed to know Ariel already.  She loves to talk to teachers.  
My very large buddies Larry and Jared gave me a big bear hug.  


Hopefully she has a great year!

First Day of School!

Last Monday was the first day of school! Ariel was the first out the door at 7 am.  She looks so old!
Eden and Fionna came over early.  Ariel had Starbucks delivered.  They got ready together.  
Here we go!  High schoolers!
Gwen and Eva also headed to school.  

We walked the twins up to school at 8:50.  
Everyone was gathering.
Last year's teacher is this year's teacher!
The twins were excited.  
So each class had a balloon to gather around.  

Until Amy bumped into the 6 and it got loose!
The 6th graders all gathered.  There are 3 classes.  


The boys had a great day!
That afternoon, Ariel had her first cheer game.  This was the first time we saw her in her uniform.  
The girls stretched.  
Here we go!

Go JV Football!


Our little cheerleader.  


Her besties.
Go Fi!
The girls had fun!  What a long day!
