Finally a Blog: August / Sept / October

August:

Time to go back to school...Open House for Mary. 

 Open House for Kindergarten!

 First Day of School!

 After School...good first day!  My office.

I coached volleyball again this year.  The kids were cozy after school in their new chairs while I coached.  My volleyball team did well this year.  We went undefeated in league play and got 2nd place in gold division at a tournament and got 1st place in the silver division at our last tournament.  Busy, but fun! Mary can start to play for the school ( and maybe me) next year.  She is playing at a club right now, but don't have any pics yet.

 My birthday at Taste of Texas!

 Getting ready for the Graffiti Fun Run!  Sarah and I worked the fun run at school.  Mary and Steve ran in the Fun Run.  You dress crazy to support the color you throw.  We were pink.  Mary and Steve ran a 5K through different paints.  It was a lot of fun, and messy!

 Afterwards...

 Apple Day for Sarah.  I got to come to it and be a teacher helper since I am part time now.

 Roasting the pumpkin seeds and painting pumpkins.

 Mary learning to play an instrument, recorder.  Bandit doesn't care for it, especially if she misses a note.  : )

 Shopping day for a new fall outfit....and then to dinner and the movies with the family.

 Getting ready for Church and daddy's birthday lunch.

 Brunch at Brennan's for Steve's Birthday.

 Making Banana Foster

 The kids took pic of us.

 Bandit finally has all of his shots and can go for a walk for the first time. Yes he needs a haircut bad!

 Bandit says, " Please get me a hair cut, I can't see"

 Finally a haircut.  He is still fluffy, but he can see now.  He got about half his hair off but he is still a big fur ball, but one that can see now!

 He was scared in car....hugging Mary with a tight grip!

 They put a bow tie on him....looks like he is wearing a tux!

 Enjoying the outside...till the mosquitos come.
