Kid Logic

Me: Kenzie, did you cut the bottom of the toothpaste tube off?

Kenzie: Yes

Me: Please tell me why.

Kenzie:  I thought there was some toothpaste left in the bottom of the tube so I wanted to check. And I needed some.

I had no words.

School Starts

On the evening after the first day of school we ate sandwiches for dinner at my aunt & uncles beach house. It's tradition for my parents to do this (my mom's a principal). They usually eat on the beach, but the views from the house are spectacular especially when the sun is setting. It was a beautiful night, crisp and clear.  Here they are on the hammock.

Koah was not a big fan of the hammock… sitting on the hammock would mean he would have to stop moving for 30 seconds… and I knew that wasn’t happening.

He would rather climb the railing of the deck 4 stories high.

We were eating our dinner when my mom spotted something in the ocean. Dolphins and lots of them. It was as if they were performing for us. They were everywhere. I have seen a school of dolphins swim past as I am sitting on the beach. This was different. They weren't swimming past. They were circling right out in front of us. Some were even jumping out of the water. Jeff tried to capture a few pictures. It’s not great a pic but it is the best we got. It was an unexpected treat.

School Year’s Eve- Korben

My oldest, off to kindergarten tomorrow.

He is ready. I am ready. We are ready.

I hope I don’t show too much excitement.

I will try to contain myself from dancing in the streets.

An update tomorrow on how it goes.

Weather Change

It dropped below 80 degrees… it is time to break out the sweatshirts.
