The light was great and I loved the leaves so I made them sit for a picture. They were perfect…one shot and done.

Pókemon Tee Twins…Again
Soccer Sibs
Homework twins
Owen was doing homework so Katie had to get her “homework” book out, too!
Waiting for lessons
They shrunk!
Seriously, how awesome is this chair?! But how would you even use it?!
First day off the bus as a 2nd grader!
Katie was so excited to be waiting for him. As soon as she saw him she was yelling “Owen!! Owen!! OWEN!!”
He did say hi to her…
And then he saw daddy and bypassed her without a second thought. 🙂
Katie had wanted to put on her matching shirt for him (if you recall, she had her ballerina skirt on this morning).
Owen’s first day of second grade!
A few test shots with the camera:
Owen was super excited about school. And his new Pokémon shirt and socks. 🙂
It was brighter than it looked!
He had to take some Pokémon cards with him…
There were only two kids at the bus stop this morning instead of the normal 15 or so!? I figured some were being driven (first day and all)…but turns out the bus was early! The published time for our stop is 8:48 and he was pulling away at 8:44! I talked to a neighbor later and she had to chase down the bus…and another posted they missed the bus. So hopefully they get things straightened out.
I may end up redoing this one because I’m anal and I didn’t take the right photo for this—there wasn’t enough space on the side for the text box so I just covered up Katie and it’s touching him and makes me a bit twitchy. 🙂
Please tell me fall weather is here!
The weather was GORGEOUS this morning—a perfect 66°—so I told the kids we were going for a little walk. We hatched an egg, gathered some Poké balls, caught some Pokémon, and played at the playground.
They actually played well together today. 🙂
Cuddling siblings three years ago and today!
I figure we’ve lived here two years, it was about time.
We finally went to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch after swim lessons and errands. I’m not sure how Owen looks so angelic here. 🙂
Shark PJs then and now.
A siblings on vacation throwback
Owen happened to be wearing the same outfit…and of course Katie had on pink! And we were somewhere we could recreate the pic pretty well!
And off they go!
The kids are buckled into Papa and Grannie’s car to head to the UP ahead of us! They were excited!
Goofy kids going a bit stir crazy on this rainy 4th.
Other than a nice Saturday, the holiday weekend has otherwise been a bust—it’s been 65° and rainy for two days. Blah. Yes, the kids are still in their PJs at 4pm. 🙂
And a few minutes prior—I came downstairs to see this:
We are for sure going to miss this pool when we move next year.
We’ve been going about 3-4 times a week since it opened. The lifeguards even know us!
Today we got pretty new white and blue chairs (and umbrellas)!
I’m not sure where she learned to do this but I love it.
Trying to get a serious picture.
But being silly instead.
They’ve been WAITING for this.
They love riding back from the pool in the back of the car but we haven’t been able to do it with all of Owen’s baseball stuff…but since baseball is over I cleaned it out!
She loves putting carts away!
Two silly gooses having fun before swim lessons!
And then I pretended I was taking a picture and got this video:
Pool, Day 2
It was too quiet…then I found this.
Phew! Sometimes things aren’t what you think. 🙂
Yellow mohawk for Spirit Day!
One sickie, one shadow.
We learned Owen has strep so he was resting on the couch…with his shadow.
Mohawk for school…and sister.
Owen let me do his Mohawk for school today.
And then Katie wanted in the picture.
They didn’t want to get out of the pool!
This is what happens when I take them both to Costco.
Katie normally has no problem sitting in the cart…except when Owen is there, freely walking around, running, and playing. 🙂
In honor of National Siblings Day…
I took these. They crack me up.
Throwback Thursday—One of my all-time favorite sibling pics
Christmas Eve!
Getting ready to bake cookies for Santa!
Fresh-baked cookies and a Christmas shooter (vanilla egg nog) for Santa!
Owen wanted to put his new Lego creation out for Santa.
Christmas jammies and Santa hats…
Along with lots of outtakes!
One good family picture out of about 15 attempts!
Uncle Grob!
And then a ticklefest ensued.
Christmas movie day!
A Charlie Brown Christmas (and then Frosty the Snowman)
Arthur Christmas
