Off To A FALL-tastic Start!

Helllooo (which reminds me of the Scholastic's "Bookflix" version of Bark George...but I digress).  Fall is upon us.  The kiddos have started at a new school and Fall extracurricular activities are in full swing.  Cate is in the 3-day 2's preschool class with Mrs. Lisa and Miss Jenn.  Brady is in the 5-day 3's class (missed the birthday cutoff of September 1st) with Mrs. Guzman and Mrs. Davis.  Their first days have gone great.  I have yet to see a tear or hear a whine at drop-off.

On Saturday mornings, Brady is #11 on the Kickaroos soccer team, the Chicken Nuggets.  He plays with his old friends from Primrose School (Ella, Ryan H, Ryan C and Andrew).  Thanks to the 8:30am game time, we get to stick to our weekly morning schedule of waking up at the crack of dawn and running around like idiots to get clothes on, shoes on, teeth brushed, cereal gobbled and lukewarm-coffee slurped.  Once we get to the field it is quite possible that Cate runs around on the sidelines just as much as Brady does on the field.  By 9:30am we are all sweaty and tired.

Cate is in gymnastics class on Thursday mornings.  She totally loves it!  Running! Bouncing! Climbing! Swinging! Flipping!  Man, she does it all!  I wish she could do it everyday because it really tires her out.  Lucky, Coach Dani is very patient and seems happy to corral Cate back with her class every time she wanders off.  Afterward, Cate and I have lunch together (and usually watch the songs from Tangled) and then go pick up Brady via carpool.  Brady loves carpool!
