Friday, September 20 was a busy one for the boys. Their four grandparents got to come to school in the morning for annual Grandparents' Day. They celebrated with mass, classroom visits, donuts, and the book fair. Such a fun day!
Then that evening was the boy's first pack meeting of the year. This one was the annual EMS visit: an ambulance and a fire truck were parked in the school's parking lot and the boys learned all about EMS.
Plus they got soaked from the fire truck's on board water supply. It took three days for their shoes to dry out!
Colin's 7th birthday party was on September 14 at Rock 'N Bowl. So fun! It was our first time bringing the boys there.
Everyone had a great time. The kids bowled and ran around while the adults mingled and took advantage of the bar on the premises. Rory even won his game against his brother and 6 other friends. Granted, they did have the bumpers up, but it totally still counts.
Riley and Alcee much preferred playing on the dance floor; we had to get them every time it was their turn to bowl. But they were awfully cute together. And all of the kids ended up dancing at one point. They had so much fun.
We sang Happy Birthday to Colin, stuck around a little longer, then headed back to Colin's house to watch the LSU game. Such a fun evening with friends!
1. Displaying finger monsters from their Aunt Debbie, silliness in carpool line before school, and one more from their afternoon of playing in the rain.
2. My new Tiger Scout and Webelo have gotten off to a good start with Scouts this year, including working a shift selling popcorn to support their pack.
3. Rory sleeping in his brother's room with all of his friends and Riley digging out his new Treasure X Kings vs Aliens from Aunt E and Uncle Jeff for his birthday.
4. Pre Labor Day party at Lovey and Poppy's house with the Krewe.
5. As a fourth grader, Riley is required to take band. He got his first choice of instrument: he is playing the trombone this year. He has band class three times a week and has to log 90 minutes of practice time every week. It's been real fun around here.
6. After school tiredness, homework (Riley's ELA paragraph assignment practically took up a whole page!), and birthday mail from France.
7. Dinner out at Bordeaux with Nopsi and Jeff, Rivertown's wonderful first play (9 to 5) of the season with Karen, and an amazing dining experience with Nola and Jeff at Saint Germain.
8. Sunday dinner: the kids entertaining themselves and dinner in front of the Saints game. Who Dat!
9. Rory lost another tooth! On Nopsi's birthday, no less.
10. Sleep Sprout.
