First-Rock Climbing:
We went rock climbing for Family Home Evening. I haven't been rock climbing since before I was pregnant with Jack so it's been a few years for me. We went with the Hummels and there was a little whining at first but the kids finally settled into some good climbing. Jocelyn and Maxine were the best climbers because they're the oldest. Max was better coming down and Jocelyn was better going up.
Here's Maxine on her first rock assent:
Mostly Jack just liked getting dirty with Calvin. I think this was right before he was sent to time out for throwing sand. Little devil.
The parents even made it up a climb. I was surprised how easily it came back. I didn't totally embarrass myself. It's such a good workout too!
Next-First Day of School
Here's Maxine ready for her first day to ride the bus.
And Now she's getting on the bus and has the pink back pack. She saw the bus and took off with no hesitation. I was like, "Okay, see you this afternoon!"
Last-Laub Family Reunion:
Over the weekend we went to Merril's Mom's family reunion at the farm. Merril's uncle had a little "train" that he pulled behind a 3-wheeler. Maxine said it was almost as fun as the horses that he usually brings. I thought it was great!
Merril ran 14 miles that morning so he did this for part of the afternoon.
One of Merril's aunts brought a fun game of Deal or No Deal. Maxine won some bubbles.

Jack found a whole tub of John Deere tractors at Grandma Laub's house and I barely saw him the rest of the afternoon.
Juliet was very happy because we were outside all afternoon. If there was some way I could have her outside and eating all day long, she'd be the happiest baby ever.
And to finish, the big, yellow moon started to come up as the day was ending. This is to remind you that Autumn and Halloween are right around the corner! I can't wait!

I swear Aaron and I saw that exact same moon...is that possible?
I am glad you posted about Max's school-going, I was going to request info about how that was going.
I don't know you, but I enjoyed visiting your blog! Great to see you hold family home evenings. Way to go!
Yeah for school! You are such an amazing fix-it girl. I could totally see you hosting your own show, something like "The Fix-it-All, Do-it-All Mama."
Cute pics! I love climbing, but I haven't been forever. I would love to get Sydney into it. And you are totally grounded from wishing on Halloween and fall! Summer just started!!!!
BTW - I think that doing other things (ie - living your life) as opposed to blogging daily = the opposite of being a slacker!
