Luke gets on the bus at about 11:55 so we have to be home from outings & have lunch before the bus comes. Is kind of a crunch sometimes. He was really excited to go today.

Back to School Part 1 - Open House
So, we went for our back to school orientation this week. Luke is in the early childhood program at our public school. He says "I go to Pre-K now Mom, not Preschool". He's so funny. It's hard for me to believe we have a child old enough to go to school. Time is already flying.
There are 8 kids in his class. Max of 10. There's always a teacher, assistant, and either speech or OT in the class about everyday so there's lot of one-on-one attention given to the kids.

Sporting some new specs....
Since it has been awhile since Luke got his first glasses & his prescription changed a bit we decided it was time for some new ones. I, of course, am way more excited about his new specs than he is. The first day he would have nothing to do with them, you know, change is hard. The second day he was happy as a clam in them. I think he figured out he could see better & they are very light weight. These things are amazing. They are completely flexible, sidebars, nose bridge, pads all plastic. The side bars have no screws to tighten, they actually pop off. Another cool thing about them is that we can change the colors if we get tired of the look (well, me mostly, Luke could care less). They also grow with him. The line is called T2, made by a company in California.

Trip to the beach
When my family was here we drove up to Kenosha to the waterfront. There's a nice beach area next to a park on lake michigan. It was well worth the drive. It's always amazing to me to look at Lake Michigan. It really looks like the ocean. Below, me & my sister Sherry. Bet you wouldn't guess we were sisters-ha!!
Luke had the best time playing along the shoreline.
Quinn had a great time with the rubber mallet (we used it to hammer the umbrellas into the sand, we don't typically take tools to the beach with us :)
Brent, Mason & Quinn playing in the sand

All in all it was a lovely day. Especially since Brent took all the children home & let us stop at the outlet mall & go shopping. What a great dad he is!
Cardboard Clubhouse
My husband is an engineering genius, at least I think so. He's so great at taking simple things & making them into something useful. For months we have had big cardboard boxes in our basement (taking up a ton of room btw). Well, our neighbors put out a big weber grill box & Brent snatched it up. One weekend he & the boys created one of his "leftover" masterpieces. The kids have been having a blast in the cardboard clubhouse. Now, this is no ordinary cardboard creation. It has wooden supports, ladders, doors, windows & is actually very sturdy.
Save up your boxes & maybe you can persuade him to build one for your basement :)
