September 2012: Week Two

Here is my small sigh of relief, "ahhhhhhhh" ... life has settled once again & we're back on a schedule at home (well, sort of). 

 

 

Now that we're all home again for a bit, we managed to just chill a little this week & enjoy each other.

 

Monday morning, our Preschool Co-Op was cancelled, so we continued with the lesson plan & did our own thing for the letter A & the color Red in our lesson books. 

As you can see, Cashe is a fabulous artist & he did quite well coloring on the correct page, however staying in the circle within the cherry was a bit challenging.

 

Sitting still & studying is just nonsense for more than 10 minutes in Cashe's eyes so we headed to the park to exert a little energy.

Look at that belly!

And the boots are a MUST before bed. 
(They would be a MUST during bed if Mom allowed it too.)

In addition to the launch of the Preschool Co-Op this week, we also started BSF.  This is my 7th year in BSF, which means I am now starting the 7-year study over.  Last year, I was asked if I would consider being a leader this year, so I prayed about it & felt it was definitely where I needed to be.

I chose to be a Children's Leader & we now meet on Wednesdays & Thursdays, so Cashe gets double the Bible education & double the love each week.  He loves it too!

Meanwhile, Shad was in Idaho Falls for his District Meeting. 
As a team-building event, they rented dune buggies & ATVs & played on the sand dunes all day.

He said it was incredible how the sand dunes went on for miles & miles & miles & miles. 
I wouldn't mind experiencing it once, but having sand in places I'd never want sand doesn't sound enticing.

As Shad was driving home from Idaho Falls, Cashe & I picked up & headed the other way towards Boise for our bunco night with the girls. 

 

Cashe spent the evening with one of his favorite girls, Madi, one of our babysitters in Boise.  He LOVES this girl & walks around their house like he owns the place.  What a blessing it is to know this family.  We love them all.



 

Love Love with Madi.



 

Cashe got his fill of Kohlman & Ella, as he repeatedly requests as soon as we get home: "Kohlman, Kohlman, Kohlman ... "  And we even got some play time with baby Lily & little Anna, who is now requesting Cashe.  Awe.  Melts my heart how much they're all growing up & recognizing each other.

 

After a morning of sister-wife time with my girls, we headed back to Boise to see Dad & have some family time.

 

 

Here the boys are playing cars.

... but not for long ...
Cashe believes if there is anyone on the floor, it means it's wrestling time. 

And what better way to end the weekend together than with a little football time
(while Mama preps for the upcoming week, of course.)
