Back to school

Trevor's 1st day of 2nd grade is today. He was excited, but last night got a little nervous and cried that he would miss me and his daddy. All was better this morning, and he got on the bus without crying. Here he is on his 1st day of school.

Catching Up

I have had a chance to post lately on what has been going on in the Riggins household! Trevor is all ready for the second grade, and we went last weekend to get his school supplies, and some new clothes. I can't believe he is in the 2nd grade already! Time sure does fly! He has been doing alot with daycare such as going swimming, going to the movies, and today they went to Cascade Park, and the Mills pool in Bloomington. He will start school next Tuesday, so we are planning on taking him putt-putting sometime this weekend, and he wants to go to the new pool at Washington. Our annual Zoo trip is planned for late Sept, and I want to take them to the Children's Musuem! Busy Busy!!

Kelsye is a little riot! She has fallen deeply in love with Elmo-she found two elmos at a garage sale on Saturday, and has not put them down yet. She takes them to daycare and leaves them in the van. At the mall Sunday she had to get two elmo books, which she carries around as well. She loves to play by herself, and has really learned alot this summer. She has to open all doors by herself, and get her own milk out of the refrigerator for her cup-thank goodness she doesnt want to pour it herself too!

I have been busy with work, and HOMEWORK. This accounting class has really taken alot of time and brains-two of which I dont have much of! LOL. Luckily the class is self paced for the 6 week course, which I am so thankful for, but I just don't like falling behind that much. I also pulled some weeds a couple Sundays ago, and developed a huge rash of poison ivy all over my hands and fingers. After a steriod shot and some steriod pills, I have gotten rid of it, and I am so glad! It was very painful and annoying. We also celebrated my neice Bella's 3rd birthday with a Hannah Montana birthday party. I will post some pictures later, she had a blast!

My hubby celebrated is 26th birthday yesterday! I fixed him supper with some of his favorites-corn on the cob, fried zucchini, and pasta salad. YUM! He doesnt like cake that well, so my grandma made him a banana pie-his favorite!

Overall, this has been a pretty busy summer. It is finally hot like Summer's are supposed to be! This weekend, I am hoping to get things rounded up for our garage sale we are having in the middle of Sept, and get completely caught up on homework. Other than that, I will probably hit a few garage sales, and take a couple naps!

Silly Safari Steve and Old Settlers

Friday, I took Trevor and Kelsye to Old Settlers to see Safari Steve, and they LOVED it. Well, all the kids loved him that were there. He brought snakes, alligators, rabbits, grasshoppers, turtles, hedgehogs, owls, and a few other animals. It lasted about an hour, and was really neat. I am thinking of hiring him to do Trevor's birthday party in April. We also went to the baby show on Friday and below Kelsye is having her picture taken with the winner of the boys 12-24 months Quincy Pruett, they go to daycare together! He is a cutie!

Saturday we went back to the Old Settlers and let the kids ride rides. There aren't many there, but Trevor and Kelsye both had a good time and that is all that matters. On Sunday we just hung around home, and mowed and pulled weeds. I also did homework, and will be doing that tonight as well.

This week doesnt seem to be too busy as of now. I am off on Tuesday for a dental appt, then signing Trevor up for school on Thursday. This weekend we are going with my mom to her company picnic, and then on Sunday it is off to Terre Haute to buy school clothes and supplies for Trevor, and fall clothes for Miss Kelsye. Enjoy the pictures below, there is one of Kelsye sitting with the rest of the kids, like a big girl, she is so independent.
