37 and Counting

We survived the first week of school. We are still trying to figure out how. Polly has taken on the responsibility of driving the kids everywhere. Alex's bus comes around 6:45 and his school starts around 7:45. Yes, you did your math right, that is one hour of wasted time. Eric goes to work at 7:00 and Polly takes both Alex and Emily to school and to prevent wasting time in the afternoon she picks them up from school. Alex and Emily practice soccer on different nights of the week plus YW on Wednesday. Eric had multiple football games and a dinner during the week. To make it short Polly and Savannah spent a lot of time driving in the car. We survived and are still trying to get into a routine, but somehow it always works out.

Back to School Party....at the Lescarbeau's

• Bring a Snack
• Bring a game to play
• Bring the Family
  

To have something to look forward to after a crazy week. Polly decided to have a back to school family game night party at our house. It was great. There was a total of 37 people in our house. Kids played outside at the parked, raced bare foot in the grass, played on the Wii, played on the XBox, watched Harry Potter, ate lots of food, laughed, and had fun. This all happened while a few adults were able to sit down and enjoy a "friendly" game provided by the Abbott's. (I think Jay had to sleep on the couch) We were also able to surprise Stephanie Myers with a birthday wish from all of our friends. It was great, we were glad we could do it and can't wait to have another party.

Playing the piano, and having fun...
(side note: put piano away before next party...it gets loud fast)

Blow out the candle and make a wish.

The only regret for the night was not getting more pictures. Thank you Abbott's, Norby's, Myers, Kaldor's & guest, Haderlie's, and Sage for making the night a success.
