The last week before school started was super busy. Daycare had a different theme each day and the boys participated in a 3 day soccer camp.
HMC was working on gathering footage for a social media campaign for National Kids Take Over the Kitchen Day. We let the kids loose in the HMC kitchen and they had such a good time that when we got home they wanted to keep working on kitchen creations.
A few days before school started we got a call that a spot at the school Reed has been on the waitlist for had opened up. It was a big rush to get all of the paperwork done and Reed wasn't thrilled with the last minute switch but by the afternoon of the first day he was already loving it and it has been a great experience so far. Meanwhile Kieran started Kindergarten and he and Lyla are in the same class. To say they are inseparable is an understatement and watching them together is just the cutest. Also, Kindergarten is exhausting and K fell asleep anywhere and everywhere when given the opportunity the first two weeks of school.
August also brought a new addition to the family. Auntie M and Kevin welcomed baby Will and he is adorable. When we went to meet him, Kieran was so interested in him, held him a couple different times, helped feed him, and wouldn't stop talking about how cute he was. It was completely unexpected but so, so sweet.
Towards the end of the month we got away for a night with C, Tio, Mikael, and Erin. We went out to dinner, went to a Kacey Musgraves concert, and had a leisurely breakfast. It was less than 24 hours but it was a refreshing getaway and Kacey was absolutely amazing!
C and Tio had a family dinner at their house to celebrate Zach's 3rd Birthday. Somehow I deleted most of the pictures I took but we had a nice afternoon of swimming and then finished up with an awesome dirt themed birthday cake. To say this Little Guy is someone special is an understatement and he constantly brings a smile to all of our faces.
Other August happenings included primo hangouts, lots of reading, yoga, an evening with the Siegels, a visit from the Askims, picnics before soccer practices, and an outdoor movie night with a bunch of friends.
