Kid's stuff

The kid's went to a friend's birthday at Gravity Extreme Zone and LOVED it! 

 Kora and I went to the Honey Bee festival

Kali is deciding where to go to High School and even had an online interview with a STEM program

 She also wore Purple for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness in honor of her friend's Grandpa

Kindergarten Kora

Kora is LOVING school! She is so excited every day she wakes up! She just got her school photos back and they are soooo cute!

 We park across the street each morning and walk up together. It's our Mommy and Koko time and we love it. 

 I've gone to have lunch with her a few times and she was so happy! She introduced me to all of her friends. Yaya even came too so Kora had a huge smile!

 I subbed for an older class last week and stopped by her recess to say hello.

 She had to miss a day a few weeks ago to get a crown put on her tooth and the dentist said she is the calmest kid he's ever seen.

 She's been having fun after school too. Watching Star Wars, dressing up, having friends over and playing soccer. 

Gleash's Goldfish

Kora was up bright and happy on the first day of school! She has such an awesome teacher that is a friend of mine so we feel lucky. My Mom and I dropped her off and she told us we did not need to stay long. ha! I'm so proud of my baby girl. Her teacher emailed me a few days later and said that Kora is a great leader in the class. 

Back to School Open House

Kali had her back to school registration the SAME night at Kora did. So I worked at the yearbook booth at Kali's school. Then left her there while I took Kora to meet her teacher. Francis did not get to come since the workers were out at home getting the water out and ceiling insulation cleaned up. It was a crazy night but the girls had fun!

 Kora LOVED the classroom and is SOOO excited to have Mrs. Gleash. She even made two friends already! She can't wait for the first day of school.

Futsol

Kora and Kai have been playing futsol all summer and loving it!

Swim Team Banquet

The kids attended the swim team banquet. They received medals, ate cake and swam with their friends. It was a fun night for them and a little hot for the parents. Go Manta Rays!

Six

Kora started her birthday early. The night before we did her cake and sang to her at my parent's house. The next day she got up for swim team and they sang to her and gave her a Popsicle. She was pretty excited! Then, she opened her new scooter and her Ninja Turtle backpack she will use at school this fall (I will be crying when I drop her off) Her friend and neighbor Addie stopped by and brought her a gift too. Kora went swimming with Yaya and said it was the best day ever!

Manta Rays

Swim team has officially started! Kora is on the team too this year. Well.....she's gone a few times but she just really, really, loves to sleep in late. 

They had their first meet. Kora said she did not want to swim because she needs to practice more. Kai wanted to go to soccer so he had a crummy attitude.

 And, Kali was AMAZING! She won first in freestyle, backstroke and freestyle relay her team got first and she swam TWICE!. I was one proud Mom!

Kora

Kora is having one more year at home before she starts kindergarten so she is enjoying sleeping in, playing at Yaya's, planting a little garden, shopping for Halloween costumes, going to her little open gym at the community center and doing online school work. She's such a happy little girl.
