Thoroughly annoyed

Well a lot has happened in August, but I haven't been able to post about it since Blogger won't let me upload pictures! So, in a perfect world I would have done about 5 posts by now complete with pictures. So I guess I will just update everyone as to what's been happening in August, in a boring post without pictures!

We went to Dallas to visit some friends of ours mid August. The kids had a great time, as usual, playing with their friends that they miss because they've moved away. We got to go to their neighborhood pool, which was beach entry, so the kids loved that of course.

Then we celebrated Nick's 29th birthday, and Sophie's 4th birthday! Since Nick and Sophie's birthdays are 5 days apart, we usually end up celebrating them together. It wasn't planned that way, but with Sophie not wanting to be born in October like she was supposed to be, we have no choice! We had a girly birthday party for Sophie, with all of her girlfriends. They got their nails done and got to play dress up and walk down a runway. Then we went to a bakery for cupcakes and presents. She had a great time, and loved being with her girls! That night we had a family birthday party at BJ's Brewery, for some good food, then back to my aunt's house for cake and presents! It was a crazy but fun day.

Then 2 days after all the birthday celebrating, Sophie started preschool! She goes 3 days a week from 9:30-2:00pm. She has only gone 1 day so far, but she walked right into the room without even saying bye to Nick and I! She has been independent since birth, so I knew she would never have a problem leaving me to start school. It's pretty bittersweet, I miss her but I know she's having a lot more fun at school than she would be having at home, and learning a lot.

On top of all that, Sophie also started dance class again. She is taking at the same place she took dance last year, just with a new teacher. Her teacher's name is Miss Carly, so she asks where Chad is, of course! There is one girl in her class that was in there last year, so that's fun. She is already talking about a dance recital, so I know she will enjoy this year of dance.

August has pretty much flown by, so I look forward to getting into a routine and settling down a bit for September! I promise pictures will come as soon as Blogger decides to cooperate!
