First Day at a New School


I woke the boys up early so they could eat their toast and sausage before school. Neither one of them were really interested so they ate about half of it and then at the breakfast at school... Biscuits, yogurt and fruit.















Look at Caden-bugs fluffy hair! I just love when he looks like this when he wakes up!





















Jacob all ready and watching cartoons before we left.




















Caden saying "Cheese" and showing me his belly button.















Walking out to the car with Daddy. It really wasn't this dark outside, but for some reason the camera made it that dark.





















Sitting in his carseat ready to go to school
















Jacob giving me a sideways glance.


















Their new school!















Jacob unbuckling to get out and go to school.













At school they are learning the letter F. He made this picture today and practiced writing the letter. He told me F stood for "flower" with a little help from his teacher. Both boys had a good report (2 hour naps!) and they were happy as could be when I went to get them, playing with their new friends.

My Little Fish







Jacob was squirting a bug with his water gun.












Running into the pool













The "hot" tub... yeah right it was not even as warm as a bath!












The pool... the part closest to us is only 3 feet with a step all the way around. Perfect for the kids!










There is our apartment from the pool!












Yesterday we spent most of the day at the pool swimming and playing around. Both the boys love the water and I had to pry them away when it got close to dinner time.

Man Overboard

So the bad thing about our porch not being flesh with the ground... is the boys can throw things over it! Our apartment is on entry-level but there is another apartment above us and below us. Those people have to use the stairs. So this morning Freia and her friend MaKayla (who are staying with us for the week) realized there were some toys on the ground below us (ones I had not seen.) So they ran down the huge hill to retrieve them... falling up and down it.





Cute pic on their way up














Close up












Running up the hill














They were throwing the toys back to the boys









Which was a bad idea because the boys threw them back!

Our porch overlooks the tennis courts and one of the pools











Our HUGE kitchen! Way bigger than my last one and I am so happy about it!













Dining room- the walls are bare throughout the house because we do not have anything to put on them yet. On our list of "Things for the house."















View from dining room into living room (that door goes out onto our porch)
















My HUGE landry room


















Guest bathroom



















Jacob's bed














Caden's bed














Boy's room (the walls are bare... I have to repaint the things that were on their walls because we changed the colors of their room)

Messy corner
