Rest of August into the Start of School

Capturing Thomas's toothless smile. 


Met up with my gals for one last dinner at Rojo, this place closed down and opened under a new brand. 


Trip to the Children's Museum as summer nears its end. August 19




Roof work happening at the house, hence the desire to not be home, lots of noise!



Night at the Saints game with Isaac's baseball team, we had super close seats right behind home plate. 


August 20, drove out to Chaska area for Isaac's football scrimmage before the official season started. 


Video Isaac catching a pass.



Views on a morning run


Thomas's open house to meet his new teacher for 3rd grade. 
August 21st

Clean dog = trip to bogarts doughnuts (ice cream this visit)


Curriculum night at Middle School. It's a night where parents get to walk the kids schedule and hear a 10 minute blurb from each teacher... which would be great if I just had one schedule to follow. But I had three schedules that are not the same so I had to pick and choose which class to attend each block so quite the mix match.




August 23rd
I volunteered as a swim angel at the Maple Grove triathlon. Which meant I waited t the swim start and if a participant felt anxious about the swim they could ask one of the swim angels to swim with as support. I ended up doing all three distances with different athletes! Whoa!

Went down south for Isaac to get some batting practice in with his new bat. The girls and I did mini-golf while the boys did the batting cages. 
 

Roof still getting worked on: 




August 24th, church then brunch at the Breakfast Club followed by dog day at the saints game. 



First day of school for the middle schoolers! The girls had a full day, Isaac didn't need to go until 1pm


Girls are growing up!


So is Isaac, here's his first day pics all three years of middle school. 


After we dropped Isaac off Thomas had his get connected day where he got his school picture taken and we dropped off school supplies. Then we went to Dave and Busters while we waited to pick up the kids after school. 



Football season officially started!
These pics taken by a high schooler from school





And I took this one :-) 


Oakley is missing the yard with all the roof work happening. He was SOO happy to be rolling around outside. 


Trip to target while the bigs are in school


Thomas doing late summer baseball. He catches and pitches. 



Thomas started school Wednesday, August 27th
Third grade!




Finished roof! WOOHOO!






Thomas had his orthodontist work put in on Thursday, August 28th. Spacer on the top and spacer retainer on the bottom. We turn the top every other night and the bottom every 5 days. He'll have these in for a few months then metal to help everything in place until all his teeth grow in and he can get braces. His mouth was so crammed the doctor said he wins the award for smallest mouth he's seen! It's already made a huge difference in just two months. He started to lose teeth fast after we made room, he wasn't losing teeth because the big teeth didn't have any room to drop into place. 


Picture now for reference

Kyle and I took a morning walk around the lake to a coffee shop. Felt great to have an uninterrupted conversation

We killed a lot of mosquitoes along the way!
