August

August was our last month before both kiddos head off to school.

The start of the month was pretty exciting.  Caleb finished and passed the course to become a fire arms instructor for Henrico county.  He makes it pretty darn easy to be proud of him.  I'll use any excuse for some cheesy decor, so we threw him a little Harry Potter party.

We celebrated our anniversary at home this year.  We had so much fun!  We made a replica of the Melting Pot's cheese fondue that we love and Caleb cooked us some steaks.  Cards and yummy drinks together for a night in is kind of our perfect night.

We brought the kids to a glow in the dark mini golf.  They really enjoyed it.

 

The kids put on a puppet show for us with lots of little paper puppets they made themselves.  It was super cute.

We did a few more taste tests this month.  We ordered some chips from England.  Their Walker's brand is the same as our Lay's, but they have much more interesting flavors.  We liked them all!  And I got a bunch of Oreos and the kids blindfolded had to try and guess what flavors they were.  Arya was a pro guesser!

 

Arya had her kindergarten orientation this past week.  She got the same teacher Casen had for kindergarten.  She's not quite as excited as Jo was for school, but we know she's going to love it.

And Casen is in 3rd grade this year! 

And lastly, I most of the time get to finish my monthly blogs with pretty flowers from my husband :)  I had a horrible month of the dentist and have been a grump.  He spoils me anyways.
