Back to school, back to school, back to school, HOORAY!

 School has finally started, and everyone in this house couldn't be more excited. Reese started 1st grade last Thursday, and Preston started PM 4K yesterday. But first- we had a fun ending to August.

Preston celebrated his 4th birthday on August 19th. We had a tractor themed party for him at our house. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't super cooperative, but the kids still enjoyed the slip n slide. We didn't set up the bounce house because it was so windy, but overall P had a great day.

The last weekend in August we went to Springfield, IL for my friend's wedding while the kids stayed at my parents. Pearl City held their Boulevard Bash that day, so the kids got to go to the parade and did the tractor pull. Reese got second place for her age group and got a trophy- she was SO excited. Unfortunately, P was sick with a bad cold and didn't feel to well that weekend. Luckily, it cleared up by Tuesday so he was able to start school. But, then Tate got it and it went into his ears. So we spent Labor Day at Urgent Care to get him meds for his ear infection. Not exactly how I intended to spend my holiday, but at least he is on the mend!
