August was such a long month and yet somehow September seemed to sneak up on me! Hard to believe we are a month into school and almost into fall (although it is still 98 degrees here in Nashville so it sure doesn't feel like fall).
We started August off the same way we spent our summer....playing some 3v3. Sullivan's team battled all weekend in 90+ degree heat and came in Second at 3v3live.com Regionals. Since they were playing up against older girls, they came in Second for the Weekend, but First for their age group, which means they automatically qualify for 3v3live.com Nationals in November. They were super excited to earn their Golden Ticket! They have played up all summer so it will be exciting to see them take on some teams their own age from all over the country.
Of course August also meant the start of School!
The girls seem to be enjoying 3rd and 2nd grades so far.
Third grade is proving to be tougher than expected for Hudson but she is working hard. In just the first month, she has learned the importance of time management and that you actually have to STUDY for tests! She likes her teacher and has a few good buddies in her class so she is off to a good start.
Sullivan loves 2nd grade so far! Her teacher is great and hands out candy....so of course, Sullivan thinks she is amazing. She is doing well and is already moving up in reading levels quickly and seems to enjoy every day!
The babies and Thomas got an extra week of summer before school started for them, so they got to enjoy a little extra pool time!
Safety first Scuba Tins!
Sometimes they do love each other!
The babies are at school for 4 days a week this year and seem to love it so far! They love wearing their backpacks and walk into school like big kids.
Tinsley still gets a little upset at drop-off time but it totally fine about 2 minutes later. Conner walks in without a goodbye or a look back! He loves that every day he has new toys and cars to play with!
Thomas is loving PreK 4 this year! He has the same teacher that Sullivan did when she was four and he loves her! He is starting to learn his letters and learned to write his name already! He wanted nothing to do with learning over the summer, so I'm just glad he is trying! haha.
The biggest news for August is that Hudson now wears glasses! She is super cute in them and seems to like them and now she can see the board without squinting!
September brings a month full of soccer, a little volleyball and more soccer. Thomas starts his new soccer season this month and the girls will be in full TSC season! So we will be so busy but it is so much fun to watch them get better, work with teammates and push themselves to get better!
September also brings a BIG Birthday...the Twins will be TWO!
Here are the rest of the pictures from our busy August:
