Wow! September flew by! We have enjoyed getting to know new routines at the kids' school and are starting to get into a comfortable routine of after school activities. Although, I joke that Chet will be taking dance with Elsa to simplify the activities! I don't know how y'all with more than 2 kids do it!
Between me teaching 3rd grade Catechism, two nights of dance (Ballet/Tap and Hippity Hop), and cello lessons, the week is full!
In the midst of the chaos, we had a great month!!
My practice holds an annual golf outing and we had such an awesome foursome!! More emphasis was put on FUN than the scramble. We may or may not have calculated our score correctly!
When I moved to Green Bay, I started the Greater Green Bay Women's Dental Society. We meet monthly from September until May. We do a mixture of professional and social gatherings. This month, we went to the A.R.T Garage and had art instruction. Let's just say I won't be quittin my day job!! My print looked like I gave the paint brush to Chet!! The first picture is what we were supposed to paint….
My pallete…don't they make green paint??!!
Progress was being made….but I won't even take a close up of the final result.
Olaf is getting SO big and starting to come around!! Next time I want to get a dog, remind me to get a 2 year old dog! This puppy thing is not for me! But, he is so darn cute!
We made time for a date night. Aaron won the championship for his golf league so I made him take me out for dinner.
I am starting to pursue my Foundational Catechetical Certification. Involves 60 hours of training (10 hours for each of 6 components). I am starting with the Bible component. Four hours down, 6 to go :)
We recieved an update about Elsa and Chet's season Packer tickets. In January, they were 108,383. At this rate, they may get tickets by the age of 60.
A candid shot of them playing in the hearth room while I finish cleaning up from breakfast
We went to a Packer game with one of my besties and her husband. I love living close to them!
Elsa loves to show us what she learned at school and she is always asking to do "homework"
And, Chet wanted to participate. Notice this is his smile face.
Note the smile face of Chet. Maybe one of these days he will actually cooperate for photos!
Elsa LOVES getting dressed for school. With the uniform, we have eliminated the battles in the morning over what to wear.
We had a friend over to play and we baked cupcakes!
They certainly love their dog!!
Elsa loves Cello and dance! And sometimes doing both together. Note the dance costume!
Chet does NOT like bedtime!
I created a job chart for the kids and so far, so good on doing their jobs. I have a monthly calender that I put stickers on if they do their jobs.
And, the biggest accomplishment of the month is Aaron learning how to do a girls hair!! I often have to leave before the kids are up in the morning and Elsa often goes to school looking like she just rolled out of bed.
But, after A LOT of instruction, Aaron mastered doing her hair. Okay, a small pony tail undo. We still have to work to do on a big pony tail, but I was pretty darn proud of him.
Now, if only I can find a way to master the mound to paper work these two kids bring hone each day.!!
