everybody's workin' for the weekend

Those words ring loud and clear for Griffin these days... Griffin started school three weeks ago with Miss Trish. She keeps a small group of children in her home- Griffin has transitioned beautifully, but let's just say he is NOT a morning person... and he LIVES for getting picked up each day, and lives even more for the WEEKENDS!!! Here is just a little bit of what has been going on since the last blog update (well, really a lot- not so much a little bit)!

Hudson's 2nd Birthday Party

Griffin's buddy, Hudson, turned two August 13th. He had a super fun birthday party at a Gymnastics Center in Allen. Griffin had so much fun running and playing!

He really enjoyed running back and forth on the trampoline more than anything!

Griffin getting a 'sneak peak' of 'the pit', he looks pretty excited, right???

Carefully watching Avery slide into 'the pit' first, still looks excited about it, right?

Now it is Griffin's turn

{the picture that did not follow this would have been of Griffin crying in fear--- he was not a fan of 'the pit'}

Back to running on the trampoline trails, much more fun for G :)

Singing Happy Birthday to Hudson, cute 2 year old Hudson with cute cake!

Bouncing around before we left

The Boys- Learning How to Skip Rocks

'Twas the Night Before School Starts

And all through the house...

Griffin and Nolan being silly


Waking Up G {Day 1}

Waking Up G {Day 2}

Waking Up G {Day 3}

And after Day 3, I stopped... it broke my heart having to wake my peaceful sleeping child up- but fortunately, he woke up fine (most days) and went to school just a little disoriented, milk in hand...


Looking for the Best Buy

Shopping with buddy, Gannon

Too bad they don't make these at Nordstrom's- wouldn't shopping be less painful for us all?


Enjoying the Fall-like Temperatures

Griffin L-O-V-E-S hats!!! From baseball caps to firemen hats to this little camo fishing hat- He loves putting them on his head (usually backward) and from time to time will bring one to share for you to put on your head too!

This morning he climbed in his wagon and just played with his cars inside of the wagon.

Saying 'Cheese'

Griffin LOVES watching the planes from the backyard

Friends and Outdoor Fun

Aurora and Avery had us over for a little fun with friends

Griffin is not a fan of the sweets though! {phew!!}

He preferred to just watch Avery and Walker

But he did manage to pick off a few marshmallows, as long as there was not any chocolate touching them...

Again, sweet Avery tried to share- but G wanted NOTHING to do with the mess!
