The craze that went on all summer at our house was Bey Blades. The boys have been obsessed. They are basically tops that you pull a plastic cord and they spin. They have an arena where they spin several at a time to "battle." Charlie took these pictures of his beys. All our friends have beys, especially the Hodnetts. I even made them special bey blade carrying bags with their initials on them. They came over alost every day and all the boys would sit in a circle and battle for hours. It was good times, but it seems like now that school is starting the fad may be over. That's ok with me because each bey costs up to $12 and Charlie keeps losing every one of his, so on to the next crazy way to waste their parents money...
This is what hapens when I try and watch a movie and Charlie goes upstairs by himself where we keep cookies and bubbles on top of the fridge.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!! The boys were very excited to be starting school this year. Charlie's in pre-school and Jack is in 1st grade. They get to ride the school bus home which is Charlie's favorite part. Check out his excited face in this picture. When I asked him what he does at school, he says, "we ate and then we played and then we ate and then we played some more." Sounds like a good school to me.
Happy Nine Year anniversary to us!! Aug 12 was our anniversary, I can't believe it's been that long. I like looking back at our old pictures. We have changed, put on a few pounds.. but we are still the same, just surrounded by more little people to love and hold. Bring on a new year...
