Fantastic First Day!

 I survived!

The kids all are happy.

Happy, happy day.

Now I am so very tired.

Natalie felt like a big girl getting to help her brother. 

Matthew was just super uber-excited that his class could potentially  a day without wearing shoes in his class.

That cracked me up.

He was very well behaved at the YMCA too, which had been my worry.

Meagan had no problem finding her way around.

That had been her worry!

It Was Matthew Day!

 In honor of my baby going to Kindergarten, we had Matthew Day!

He chose all kinds of fun stuff.

First we went to Target to get the perfect backpack.

 Then, we went to the Thinkery. 

 He loved the air tunnel.

After the Thinkery, we went to Dave and Busters.

He took winning tickets very seriously!

I  loved the day, just me and my boy.

We quickly ran up to Dallas for Claiborne's baby blessing/naming. 

We managed to stop by the Perot museum (lots of museums!) on the way out. 

It is fantastic.

whhhhat? August Already?

 Meagan, Kendall, Mandy and I went to see Hairspray  at Zilker last night.

It was really hot and fairly crowded, but it was excellent.

As always, the girls were so happy to see each other.

 I found a great new bakery, Bribery Bakery.

We bought several things, and it was all great.

My favorite was the blueberry bread pudding.

Our other big news?

Meagan got her first round of braces off!

We start again next summer, but it's nice to start middle school without braces.
