jumping pillow {robinette's}

We made a trip to Robinette's to jump!

{and maybe for some donuts, cider, apples & fudge}

gymnastics {madison}

Madison started gymnastics at a gym closer to our house last week.  With my work schedule, I can take her every other week.  She is doing great...when they split her beginner class up, she goes with the 7 & 8 year olds.  Learning lots of new skills!

oh {deer}

We had a few deer walk through the backyard this morning.  

all ready {skating class}

...shopping at the hockey store!

They picked up some socks, shoulder pads and a jersey.  

Jackson starts skating class on Tuesday!

jack {& momma} time

To match all the excitement of Maddie going to Kindergarten, Jackson was treated to his own special day.  Jackson and I headed to the Children's Museum after we dropped Maddie off at school.

We played, explored and met Daddy for lunch.  

Then the boys went shopping...

...and she's off!

Today was the 1st full day of Kindergarten!

{The first day of school is a "get acquainted' day for the Kindergarteners.  So, we just go for a couple hours tomorrow.  Maddie and I have planned a fun day for just the two of us since I took the entire day off of work.  Maddie will go the full day on Wednesday...lots of firsts this week!}
