So after school we had a few house (2) before our First night of AWANA. This year G Monkey is in Sparks and B Monkey is in Cubbies with me. I'm still a Table leader in Cubbies but this year I moved up to the 4 year olds since B Monkey is in the other class. We will see how it goes. It was a successful night.

Day of Firsts for both Monkey's
Well today was the day of firsts. G Monkey going to big kid school finally, B Monkey starting AWANA, and Mommy realizing her kids are growing up way too fast.
We started out with G Monkey. Her first day of Kindergarten. Can it be, really she's ready, she's old enough. Okay she's going. Weather I'm ready or not. There weren't many tears I held them in so she wouldn't start. G Monkey got up herself and wanted a good breakfast that would hold her over. Breakfast Burrito, which was good cause I didn't want her having a sugary cereal the first day. Best foot forward the first day.
She picked out what uniform combo to wear, and walla she's ready to go. Backpack in had and off we go. B Monkey was happy she was going, when I said we need to go pick up G Monkey he said NO I don't want too. Well looks like the love hate relationship is still going strong. Really I think he just likes having Mommy to himself. Such the Mama's boy (I'm working on this for the sake of his future wife, really I am)....
We got G Monkey to school on time and took her into her class, we got her all settled in and then they had to line up for pledges and chapel.
Once done with that B Monkey and I were off to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast with friends.
Once done we went of a few errands and then back to pick up G Monkey. She had a great day. Over all the first week of school was great. G Monkey did cry on Friday but I think part of that was that 3 other kids were and the week was starting to catch up with her.

Soccer Practice
Well this year G Monkey FINALLY get to play Soccer!!! She has been asking for two years to play. So when she asked again this year, we got online and started looking around. We found out AYSO was still accepting applications for our area and we were sold. We had to pay the late fee but an extra fee is well worth it this year. She is having so much fun!
Totally excited that G Monkey has asked to play soccer. I played when I was younger and loved it! I hope she will to but if she doesn't that's okay.

Going to the Aquarium
This summer we did lots and lots of fun things. One thing we did was go to Aquarium with family. We picked up my cousin Steph and her husband Mike and met Auntie Susan there. The kids had so much fun visiting with each of them as did I. It was great having extra hands while going to a place like this too. I was able to enjoy the kids excitement with out being overwhelmed.
Auntie Susan and the Monkey's looking at the bat rays and touching them. :) Well Auntie Susan touched them. Here are Steph, Mike and the Monkey's. We were waiting for the Sea Lion Show. Talk about forced smiles. I think they were done buy now. Wait yup were done here. This just cracked me up. I said B Monkey let me take your pictures and he did this. I guess he was done.
