Knoebels night out

Our good friends came to visit us this weekend and we jammed in as much as we could. The Wheelers left Danville in 2011, and it hasn't been the same since!!

We had 4 couples out with no kids- so much fun. 

I'm sad to report that wooden roller coasters are no longer my friend. 

It was a great night out with friends!

End of the week happenings.

Still taking pictures of my cuties at the bus stop, before it becomes too cold to use my hands. 

Somehow after a week of school we are ALL adjusted to waking up early. Sigh. 

Here we are Saturday morning. Outside playing before 7AM. By younger self is so appalled. 

I let Jack by school lunch this week and he learned how to eat an apple without me slicing it (and forcing it down his throat). This is a miracle. 

We found a new bike for Lilly at our neighbors yard sale!

Love these kids. 

Jim's Birthday part 2

My friend Molly makes our birthday cakes.  I just need to over load you with cake pictures because I am in awe of her creativity and artistic abilities.  I just tell her a theme and she comes up with everything else. Everything on this cake is edible.

The children all fought over who could eat the boots. We ended up splitting them 4 ways.

Happy birthday, Jim!

First day of school!

2015-2016, 4th grade for Lilly and kindergarten for Jack.

I made Jim take a picture with the kids and one of me with the kids. Bad lighting and some blurry spots, but at least we'll have the memories!

Lucy packed her bags for school too.

"All my bags are packed, and I'm ready to go...."

She was so sad to be left out and personally offended that her siblings would get on the bus without her! Poor Lucy!
