Cousin Cuddles

It's Tuesday night and a seemingly successful first day of school.  Ariel ran into our room before 7 dressed and ready to go.  The other kids didn't get up till almost 8.  We walked with all the neighbors up to the school to drop off Aden and Ariel.  Aden just ran off with his friends.  At first Ariel seemed happy and excited but when the classes started lining up, she started crying.  We got out of there fast.  Then we dropped off the twins who immediately started crying.  We had to peel them off our legs to get out of there.  Thankfully as soon as we left Ariel and the twins were fine.  When Amy picked up Ariel she ran out of the school saying she loves first grade!  Even the boys wanted to tell us about their day.  Tonight also started the activity insanity.  We didn't have a sitter and Aden had football practice and Ariel had cheerleading and soccer practice.  We need to get the kids a driver!

Back to a week ago Saturday.  Eva and Gwen stopped by early for cuddles.

Right Gwen?

 We then got ready and headed for the beach.  

 It was great having Lori and Bill and the kids so close all of August.  

 Cool dude.

 Does he look like me?

 Ice cream man!

 Ariel's friend Julia stopped by to visit.

 Ice cream man is back!

 Over to my parent's to swim.

 Cara  and her belly stopped by.

Over our house to eat dinner.

 Then there were fireworks in Longport.

 We could see them pretty well out back.
