Ice Skating- Lesson #1

The girls just started ice skating lessons!!  It was a rough class- lots of falling down, but they each learned out how to get up all on their own.  I was hoping at the end of the half hour session they would still like it enough to want to come back the next week.  Turns out they loved it!!  They both wanted to stay extra for open skating after class!  I'm hoping that each week gets a little easier for them and they can keep up those positive attitudes!! (Ruby is in the purple and Maggie's in the white sweatshirt) 
Also, I just uploaded a bunch of summer pictures that I took on my phone to the picasa web album.  They are located in the September album.

Maggie's First Day of Kindergarten!!!

Good bye to Peggy!  This is how Maggie's first day of Kindergarten started- She and Dad dropped Ruby off at Peggy's.  We love Peggy!!

Here is Maggie in front of her school ready to go!

I get to meet Maggie at her bus stop just down the street from our house.  She is the last one off the bus.  Here she is after a long day of school!  She said the day went well and she's ready to go back for more tomorrow! 

Can't forget the Chux shirt!

WOW!!  Our little Ruby is growing up!  She is now considered one of the big kids at daycare.  She's going to Peggy's Mon-Thur and she will be attending the Preschool Place on Fridays with cousin Cooper!  She's pretty excited- has to bring a backpack and everything!!  Not sure if I'm ready to let the school year begin!  Can't believe Ruby is three and Maggie will be in kindergarten........where has the time gone?!? Will be posting more pics of the exciting first day soon!

Labor Day Weekend 2013

We had a great Labor Day weekend!  Saturday we spent the day out at Grandma and Grandpa Demullings swimming in the pool and enjoying a beautiful day outside!  The girls had fun playing with their cousins.  We got them out of the pool long enough to eat and then they were right back in the water!  I totally remember those days from when I was little!
Sunday we had some friends and their families over for a little BBQ.  We asked everyone at the last minute hoping that a few could come and surprisingly everyone could make it!  It was fun to get together with some friends we haven't seen for a while!  Above is a picture of all of the kids!  They are all growing up so fast! 
Monday we got ready for the week-  back at school for Mom and Maggie's going this year too!!!  In the afternoon we snuck away for a movie (Monsters Inc.) at the budget movie theater in Hopkins.  Ruby's first experience in the theater and she did great! 

Surf & Turf Duathlon 2013

Another great year for the Surf & Turf Duathlon at Lake Anne in Chanhassen!   2 1/2 mile paddle plus a 2 1/2 mile trail run is a great combo for a fun event!!  It was such a beautiful morning- we all hung around after the race.  The girls played in the water and Maggie practiced paddling a little too!  Below is a link to a short movie of the event.
