Two weeks before school started, Taylor went one morning to "Story Time" at her school. It was an hour and a half long, and she got to hang out with her class a bit, and get to know her new teacher, Mrs. Meyering!
Dropping her off before school
All smiles afterward! She got to listen to a story in the library, eat a snack in the lunch room, play at recess, take a tour of the school, get to know her classroom, and make a cute craft.
We cut the paper links on the school bus each morning as a countdown to the first day of school - such a cute idea!
Camryn and I hung out for that hour and a half, and she got to have a special breakfast at Big Apple Bagel with me. :)
Speaking of school, I re-organized, leveled some, and labeled ALL my books in my classroom library this summer. It took a long time, but I am really happy with the set-up now. :) Summer project complete!
Signs of fall as some of the days got a little cooler - hanging out, playing in the driveway with hoodies on :)
Ryan took most of the Friday's off in August, so one of them we took the girls to Dutch Village (Taylor earned a free pass through her summer library at school).
Taylor really liked this little train - Camryn mostly had to be pushed through by Taylor as she wasn't quite strong enough to get moving very fast. :)
Right before we left, the girls decided they wanted to ride on the ferris wheel - and while Ryan isn't really a rides kinda guy, I gladly hopped on with both of them! The first time around the top, I think both of them were a little scared - you get pretty high up there!! But by the time we were done, they were loving it!
The final week before school began, Taylor had her Open House at school. It felt so different to be a kindergarten parent, and not the kindergarten teacher! I was very much that mom that took pictures of Taylor in front of everything in her classroom.... including getting a picture with Mrs. Meyering. :)
We also got in two more beach visits....
one with just me and the girls,
and Labor Day morning we also headed out and met up with Chris, Liz, and Annie, too! It was a wavy morning!
We had our last relaxed breakfasts together
Our last visits to the splash pad
Last nights out with friends :)
Our last little summer fun projects (making "calm down" glitter bottles)
We did have our first visit to Timbertown, that ended quickly with our first bee sting (poor Cam)
And last 'summer selfies' ;)
Cannot WAIT until next summer, but also EXCITED about this new school year for Taylor, and the adventure this next season of life will bring!! :)
