For Labor Day weekend we headed to the Holiday Inn in Lakeville on Saturday afternoon. We went with some friends of ours and their 3 kids. We decided to get poolside rooms and it was great. The indoor water park was perfect for the age of our kids. We spent many hours in the pool Saturday afternoon, then again after supper and of course on Sunday before check out. It was so nice going with another family. We sat and chatted and all went to dinner together at the restaurant attached to the hotel(that was slightly crazy with my crabby son and their hungry six week old). The restaurant is Rudy’s Redeye Grill and we had been there once before…it is delicious! The kiddos ate for free because we were staying at the hotel and you should have seen the size of their meals! They were huge! I was so eager to get out of town for some fun and this was the ticket! It was a great way to end summer break and head into the school year. Kory was ready to get back to the classroom and school routine. We will have a super busy fall with the election again in November, so one last weekend getaway was awesome!

1st Day of Preschool
Some moments I am still shocked that Norah is old enough to be in preschool. The years go by so fast! She is growing up before our eyes. This little girl is strong willed, independent, sassy(good & bad), smart, a great helper and a SUPER big sister. We have some trying moments…no way will she wear anything but flip-flops…but most of the time she is busy playing with Brennan making him giggle and giggle. I cant help but smile thinking of what fun she is. She was more than ready to head to preschool. She started Aug 31st and will go three mornings a week to Montessori Children’s House. The first week was just for the 1st year kids to get to know the teachers and the routine. She had a blast! She was up in the 5 o’clock hour each morning asking if it was time to go yet. Luckily for us, that did not continue this week! I am super excited to watch her grow and learn this year!
Yep, that’s a princess backpack with a “skirt” on it! Guess who picked it out?!?!?
