Back to School Celebrations!

The last full week of summer vacation was our busiest of them all. 
Each of the kids wanted to have one last friends play date. 

Tuesday, August 22nd was Presley's Back to School Brinner. 
(3 kids were late due to soccer practices)

Ella came over early and her and Presley made chocolate dipped strawberries and blueberry muffins.  I also had sausage balls, chocolate muffins, doughnut holes, bacon, hash browns, grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, and apple and orange juice. 

They ate, talked, and then went swimming. 

I had set out a paper for them to each write some goals they had for the year. 
This was Presley's...

On Thursday, August 24th, Rylan invited his friends over for a Back to School Luncheon. 

First they played basketball outside. 
Logan was on offense for both teams, so they basically lobbed it up to him and he dunked it.  
It was a tie game. 

Then we went inside and had Jimmy John sandwiches, chips, and fruit. 

And they swam and played noodle wars the rest of the time. 

That night was also Sunnyslope's Meet Your Teacher night.
We knew the kids' teachers already, but this is a time you can bring in your school supplies and see where you'll sit. 
Harper's teacher is Mrs. Gale (who also had Presley). 
I loved that she wrote a little note to Harper at the bottom of her letter. 
"I might call you Presley a few times".



Logan had his friends Nolan and Colby come over for the Saturday night McGregor vs. Mayweather fight.
I ordered pizza and bought the pay-per view fight and they ate and swam. 
I didn't get a picture of them. 
Dave did leave and watch the fight over at Troy's house. 

I did have one extra Back to School Goals paper, so Logan wrote some things down. 

Finally, Harper's turn was on Monday. 
We had a Back to School Brunch. 
Presley made muffins, and we had sausage, doughnut holes, fruit, and apple juice. 

And they played babies and swam for the rest of the time. 
These girls really loved the mermaid fins too. 

Whew! That was a busy last week of vacation!
We're ready for school to start again!
