An adult only trip to Napa Valley. Ben went to his annual conference in San Francisco. I met him out there on Thursday night and we spent Friday and Saturday in Napa Valley and Sonoma. We spent a little time in San Francisco on Sunday and I flew back late that evening. Ben's parents came and took care of all 3 munchkins. (Which is not an easy job!!) We had a wonderful time. We were able to relax and enjoy some delicious wine and food and actually spend some time with each other.
Soccer. This is the girls 3rd season to play soccer and it has finally clicked for them! Not to get all braggy mom but they are doing SO good this year. They are kind of the best ones on the team. : ) There have been some games where the two of them score all of the points for our team. It is fun to see them working together on the field. They will look for each other and pass it to each other. We are so proud! I guess I have been so busy cheering them on that I haven't taken any pictures. This is all I could find on my phone. They have two games left in the season so I will be sure to take some more.
future soccer player???
Kindergarten Fun. There is SO much that goes on in kindergarten! I couldn't possibly begin to blog about all of the things they have done in kindergarten in the last couple of months. I am going to attempt to hit the highlights (or the things I have pictures of).
The first week of school they learned about scientists. Then this happened:
Conducting the experiment. Mixing dirt and hand sanitizer and stirring it with popsicle sticks.
Hat Day
Dress like what you want to be when you grow up day. I could not pull together a flight attendant uniform for Ava so I talked her into a doctor.
The Fun Run for their school fundraiser. This is Macy and her friend Kaitlynn.
Field trip to the Pumpkin Farm. I took off work to go with them and was so glad that I did.
Obsessed with animals!
I was in charge of these 3 cuties. Ava, Macy, and Aubree. : )
Hayride
picnic lunch
These are all kids from Ava's class (plus Macy). Macy joined with Ava's class for the day so that I could be with both girls during the field trip.
Ava strangling... I mean hugging... a goat.

Fun times in kindergarten! They are loving it and really doing well. I think we have finally all adjusted to the craziness of "real" school. I was shocked at how fast paced everything felt and all of the extra things that go along with school. And I work for the district!!! I have no idea why this was so shocking to me! I have realized that they hit you really hard in the beginning with fundraisers and PTA and volunteer opportunities and a million (slight exaggeration) different "dress up" days. That may not sound like a lot but it totally overwhelmed me plus the girls had a bit of a rough time adjusting to the demands of school. They have been perfect at school but we had a rough time at home in the beginning. They were EXHAUSTED when they got home and we had some major fit throwing and just down right BAD behavior. But... knock on wood... they have been really good lately so I think they have adjusted and are handling it really well now. It is amazing to me how much they have learned in just a couple of months. Their reading and writing is improving so much already. Can't wait to see what they are doing by the end of the year!
