We spent Labor Day weekend at the lake house. Katherine got to bring a friend with her for the first time (Hannah), which turned out to be a really good idea. We didn't spend too much time in the boat - partially because of the weather, and partially because of a dead boat battery.
We did some shopping, had dinner at the Dixie Stampede, swam in the pool, and spent time on the lake. We really need to get some kid skis for next summer. They're all bored with the inflatable skier now.
Katherine is playing soccer with SCSA this year but with a new team, which she really likes. She played with older girls last year, so we decided to have her play with her own age group, which was a good decision. She's much more aggressive this year than she's ever been before. I was never good at sports, and it's fun to watch her play.
They've had 3 games so far and they're 1-1-1. I'm happy with that.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society provides times for the kids to spend together doing fun stuff. This last time, it was with the Star Wars characters (some were the same guys who came to our house). The kids got pretty rowdy, but they had fun.
I didn't do a good job of writing down the cute things Katherine used to say and I wish I would have been better. Joey has been saying a lot of awesome things lately.
Joey: Mom, should I eat after you? Me: It's probably ok, why? Joey: Well, you're pregnant and I don't want to get pregnant.
Joey: I think I'm becoming a grown up. Me: Oh, yeah? Why is that? Joey: Because I watched a black-and-white show yesterday, and I liked it.
August 21 - Joey's first day of 1st grade and Katherine's first day of 4th grade.
Joey got to go to Camp Quality again this year and he had a blast. He had the same companion as last year and all the same boys bunked together again.
