Start of fall!

We ended the summer with a trip to the Walworth Co. fair on Labor Day and had a blast for all of about 3 hrs. We decided last minute to take a jaunt over. Grace enjoyed the rides except the upside down one, Owen enjoyed the animals and Mom and Dad enjoyed watching the kids have fun and of course the food!
Grace was up at 6:30 the next morning so excited to get the school year started! She enjoyed getting to ride her bike to school now that we have sidewalks on the busy street and will be riding or walking now that we no longer have bus service. Its kind of fun and gives her a little bit more responsibility. She will be walking with the neighbor across the street and his son that is in Kindergarten in the morning and then I will meet them in the afternoon. She is loving her teacher and being back in the swing of things again!
Grace has also started soccer for the fall and had her first game this Saturday. Man, can that girl run. She really enjoyed it and got right in there attacking the ball like a pro! There is a short video clip I downloaded and she is the the red with the new short hair cut!!
Owen and Mom have enjoyed their first week by themselves and trying to establish a routine. He is becoming such a fun little guy and picking up on so many new things everyday. Him and Grace have really enjoyed some play time together lately despite the age gap. They are so cute together. We have started some sibling rivalry already with Owen clobbering Grace with him baseball bat, he thinks its SO funny, Grace, not so much! He really enjoyed Grace's soccer game but couldn't understand why he couldn't play with the soccer ball. He ended up taking in the game from Mom's chair with a package of fruit snacks and finding another seat just his size on the bleachers.
Well, I am looking forward to the winding down of summer with chilling morning soccer games and the start of a new routine!
