What we've been up to

Our weeks here stay pretty busy.  On Monday, Molly started gymnastics again.  She had taken a break for the summer.  On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I watch my friends little boy, Evan.  He super easy, him and Molly play great together, and he still takes naps.  We do calender time and work on some preschool work too.  The other week, we worked on the letter B.  On Tuesdays, I also go to bible study, so Molly and Evan come with and go to their class, God & Me.  They really enjoy it.

Wednesdays, Molly goes to a preschool time for 2 hrs, with some neighbor kids.  There are just 5 of them and so far she loves it.  Each mom takes a different month teaching.  The last week, we go on a field trip.  This month was farm animals, so this past Wednesday, we went to Fiesta Farms, which is one of Molly's favorite places.  The kids all get along so well. We're really happy with it.
This is four of the five kiddos.  Bryce, Briley, Peyton, and Molly

Thursdays, I watch Evan again. That evening, we go to Awana.  Molly is a Cubbie, Tyler is in Sparks, and I volunteer in Sparks.  They both love it!  I wasn't sure if Tyler would like it having to work on it during the week, but he and Molly are both doing great with it. They always have their verses ready to say.
Friday we have nothing planned.  Well, actually one Friday a month, Molly goes to her Growing Up Wild class.  It's a free 1 hr class the park district offers.  I've posted about it before.  She really likes it.

That is our life every week.  Busy, but fun!

Daddy, Daughter Date

Molly and Scott went on a little Daddy, Daughter Date a few weeks ago.  They went out for ice cream.  Molly was so cute-right after dinner, she told me that she needed to get ready.  She picked out a dress, brushed her hair, and had to have her doggie purse with a little puppy inside, a writing tablet and pen, and she needed her watch.

Last weekend

Last weekend, Scott's parents came for a visit.  We had a nice time.  They came with gifts for the kids, which they loved.  Mary and Tyler always work on coin collecting books together.  He doesn't do it when Mary is not here, but when she comes, she always brings new pennies and they spend a lot of time working on it.  Mary also plays Lego's with Tyler too.
Saturday we drove up to Canyon Lake.  Harry and Mary have land up there.  We went to see their land and see what other houses have been built in their development.  They have a pond in their neighborhood, so we went fishing.  We managed to catch 3 fish before it started to rain on us.

Saturday night we just ordered pizza and watched the WVU game.  They lost though. Sunday, they went back to Houston.

This Weekend

Scott and Tyler went to Austin for Scott's fantasy football draft.  While there, they were able to go out fishing twice.  Tyler had a blast and stayed out through dinner and the heat.  Here is just one of the many they caught.
Molly and I had a fun girls weekend.  We watched movies both night, went to the pool, did a few errands, made cookies, and did plenty of games and puzzles.  We did make sure we were home Saturday afternoon for the West Virginia football game.  They lost but only by 10; Alabama was a 25 point favorite, so they stayed in the game better than expected.  The quarterback looked great, so hopefully we have a decent season.  Here was WVU's cutest cheerleader.
