Whew. Daily blog fail. Excuse me while I catch up :) This is for you Danielle and now it’s your turn.
9/16—Ella went to her educational playgroup (lol), and I went to run errands by myself. Boy, it was pretty nice! I found lots of Hello Kitty stuff in the dollar section for a certain someone. 
All alone. Not sure whether to jump for joy or cry.
Ella loves it when the boys come home from school. She’ll often run as fast as she can to greet them with a big hug. It’s pretty cute.
9/17—Amy and I started our volunteering swap! I love being in the school. And Ella loves playing with Katie, so it’s a win win!
We played at the park after school. Josh has been practicing his photo bombing skills. lol.
Friends at the park are the best. 
Luke loves reading these books before bed. 
Luke made this cute picture of David from the book David goes to School. It makes me smile.
9/18—Ella and I had to run to Costco to pick up a few things. She had to bring her baby and sunglasses. She’s such a funny girl with a great big personality! 
9/20—The Wolf Walk! I spent the whole day at the school running the event with my good friend, Jenae. It was a blast and everything went great despite how hot it was!
Later after a rest and lots of cold water, we headed to the ward variety show.
It was a great evening with lots of entertaining acts!
The missionaries even performed.
And there was even a “Let it Go” sing a long. Ella loved that part.
9/20—Soccer Saturday! Ella’s getting pretty good at carrying her chair, and she insists on it.
This kick of Josh’s ended in a goal. Go Josh!
It was HOT! It’s the middle of September…it should never be this hot this late in the year! I know I complain a lot about it, but it’s been a hot summer! I’m ready for the cool weather!
These two opted to watch one soccer game undercover. It was a good choice.
And as a bonus they got to watch part of the air show!
We came home and watched this childhood classic (The Chipmunk Adventure). It brought back so many memories.
9/21—Our home teacher, Bro. McReynolds, brings the kids brownies in the month of their birthday. Andrew got his! He was super excited and so were his brothers :)
9/22—Josh has been mowing a neighbors lawn while their house is for sale. He got paid the other day. He was stoked.
9/23—The educational playgroup was at our house! These 5 girls are the cutest. We studied the letter C which included painting cupcakes, making cookies with play dough, reading books about cats and colors, and eating cheese and cupcakes aka muffins. lol.
I got our outfits figured out for family pictures! Whew.
Are fruit flies going crazy at your house??? They are at mine! I set this trap and have been catching quite a few. There’s at least 30 flies in there now! Gross.
9/24—Ella wore this most of the day. She even wore it to pack meeting.
Andrew playing a cooperation game at pack meeting.
And because I forced grumpy Ella to take a nap at 3pm, she was up until about 11pm. She was wired and pretty fun to hang out with…but I won’t be doing that again anytime soon. A late nap is NEVER worth it!
9/25—Family pictures. Ella face planted on the sidewalk about an hour before we were supposed to meet the photographer. I just had to shake my head and laugh because such is life! Between that and the rain, I’m super curious to see how the pictures turned out!
We played at the park after our pictures. The kids were wet and cold, but had fun playing on the playground all by themselves.
9/26--And this is what her nose looked like the next day.
9/27—Another Saturday filled with soccer. And this is how Ella felt about it. She’s usually so worn out by the end of the 3rd game. She’s either going to love soccer and want to play it when she’s older or despise it. Can’t wait to see which way it goes!
Okay. Hoping to resume daily blogging. Wish me luck :)
