Back at It

FALL BALL:  This evening, before the Mariners' game came on, we headed up to the park to take some B.P. It had been way too long since the kids had swung a bat, so first they had to knock a little rust off, so to speak. However, soon they were in mid-season form. ;)

Kirby and Laika watched the action from the dugout. Or the dogout. Or the dogpen. ... 

SPRING FLOWERS:  While we were up in Shoreline today, we stopped by Sky Nursery to pick up the kids Junior Gardener's club gifts for September. They each came home with a big ol' daffodil bulb and planting instructions.  The cashier told the kids they should wait until late October or early November to plant. I said, "Perfect, we'll plant them on Halloween - that's easy to remember!"

SCHOOL DAY: Today marked the kids first classes of the year in Shoreline. Annabelle enjoyed art this morning, and then this afternoon they both attended their Science Detectives class, and a new offering, "Get a Clue," which is about investigations. 

Last week, they had some school photos taken. We got prints of them today. Nice!

They're certainly easier on the eyes than this self portrait CJ made today in the library.

Yikes!
