September 2012 - Week 1

We are getting back into the swing of things here.  With Meredith gone at school last week and Delaney not having started quite yet we had lots of extra time to play.  A whole week with no 11:30am pickup, it was really nice not to have a deadline.  We hit the zoo a couple times and enjoyed the butterfly exhibit one last time.  We were the only ones in the exhibit one morning so the zoo keeper let the girls pick up and hold any butterfly they wanted.  I think the recognized Delaney and saw how sad the was when the butterflies weren't landing on her.  She tried wearing every outfit she owns to attract them all summer. Finally she got her chance!
 Cousin Logan was in town.  I promise that is really her.
 My little girls and Danika got to pet the huge Flemish rabbit one day.  They love that thing.
 Potty training bribery.  Not working so well.
 The week got off to a great start then went quickly downhill.  Riding home from soccer Delaney took a nasty spill on a trail. 
 The next evening was a back to pre-school potluck and of course one of my kids got hurt since Jesse was out of town.  I thought the potluck would be safer than the block party happening back at home.  Guess not!  Quinn got knocked down on the playground and ended up out cold.  This was her about 9:30pm feeling a little better.  I made her stay up really late and blasted the monitor so loud I could hear her every breathe all night.  She is a-okay!
 This is Quinn at the Bordners BBQ after she 'painted' her nails.
 We took the kids to the Birds of Prey.  They liked the dress up the most.  Delaney wants to be a bird for Halloween.

 Papa Gene and Jesse got out our IKs and took the kids down the Boise River.  They loooved it and we can't wait to do it again next summer.
