7th grade St. Paul pictures

Team photo

Kate had St Paul team photos tonight!

Third grade

Wil could hardly sleep last night as he is worried about getting
"real" grades in 3rd grade. We all assured him he will do fine, but he
says it is too much pressure to get As and Bs! He was out the door
early and ready to get his first A. He said he hopes they do math
first cause that will be an easy A!

FIFTH grade

Kate is the big dog at school this year! She is super excited and way
too cool to ride to school with mom ;-)... She rode te bus so she
could sit in the back of the bus with all her cool friends!

SEVENTH grader!!

OMG! 7th grade! Up at 5:40a.m. And the bus comes at 6:40a.m.! Crazy
stuff!! But hair is done and a wicked hot new purse, life is good!

Soccer mania

If my phone took better pictures, you would see that this is Kristen
scoring her second goal of the weekend! Her 7th grade team looks
really good this year. She had an awesome left foot cross that was a
sweet score! Two wins for her even if one of her games was in the
pouring down rain!

We spent the weekend running between tournaments and 9 soccer games!
Kate lost both her games, she's looking good although a bit out of
shape considering she hasn't done much since having her tonsils out 6
weeks ago. Wil won both of his games big and is hoping for a
championship berth. Tournament continues next weekend!

School starts tomorrow, so far today we are laying on the couch, LOL!

Mary Poppins

Ok, if my phone knew how to send multiple pictures this would have
been easier ;-).

Bushia bought Kate, Sara, Aidan, and me tickets to see Mary Poppins at
the Fox (thanks mom!). Kristen and she had seen the production on
Broadway when they went to New York.

We went to dinner in Soulard at Sage and tried very hard not be too
excited about the show (ha)! We got to the Fox before it even opened,
so we hung out at the park across the street. It was not just the
kids who were super excited but Sara and I were both giddy with
excitement too!

Once inside the atmosphere was super charged, we bought drinks and
snacks and Sara took the kids to look at the merchandise and came back
with way too many goodies, one being Mary Poppins' umbrella that Kate
absolutely adores!!

Needless to say the show was spectacular! The kids never took their
eyes off the stage. As Aidan said when the show opened "Mom, they're
real people!!" you can't beat live theatre!!
