More Cross Country

Axel 8th grade Cross County 

 

Covered bridge in Zumborta 

Fall catch up

 

Ice cream shops 

We took a drive to Lake City. It was an easy drive - not too long - for the boys. We stopped at few antique stores and ended the day with ice cream.  

Cavities 

Both Abel and Ansel had a cavity with their last check up. Always a bummer. We will have focus our teeth brushing a little more. 

Milkshakes after cavities - 
Don’t judge we brushed really good that night !

Fun bridge for a picture 

Cross country

 Axel 8th grade cross country.  I love watching him run. I so enjoy that he is into this sport. It’s fun to see him with his team and have him be competitive. 

He just kept running ! 

2021 school year begins

 

Axel 8th grade! 

Boys are ready for school but not the early mornings 

2nd grade with Mrs Bernardy

2nd grade starts too early 

Abel 5th grade with Mrs Bowen 

We just started the second week of school ! Why does the summer go so fast?? The boys are ready for school and happy to see friends. It will take us all a couple more weeks to get our school pattern down. Back to home work, going to bed earlier and homework. I hope this year goes better then last year. Our school is only encouraging masks - we are wearing them. I just want the boys to have the best option for having a full year of school . The last two years have not been what they should for the kids . Axel is shocked that he has to go 5 days in row! Ansel has never had a full year yet and Abel is taking it in strides. I’m going to hope for the best for a good productive school year! Good luck teachers and the kids. 

End of Summer catch up

Mac and cheese pizza 

Ansel has always wanted to try Mac and Cheese pizza.  Found it at Green Mill. 
He said it was as good as he thought it would be. 

Love this mirror

COVID red wing jug.  What a time stamp for another crazy year of COVID

Boo.  Our last weekend of summer if here.  We spent the weekend getting the rest of our school clothes, staying home, making more jelly, boys playing as much video games as they can and trying to not think about having to wake up early next week.  Again the summer went to fast!  

Raspberry jam

 

1st batch of Raspberry jam

The daily harvest

Our raspberry bushes have been booming this year!  We have been getting bowls full daily!  We decided to try and make some jelly.  It was pretty easy and seems like it turned out great.  It has to sit for 24 hours before I can try it.  I love growing things and then turning them into some thing we can eat later!

Mustaches

 

Unibrow and mustaches!

A look in the future?
