This N That...

It's 8:45am and my entire family is sleeping. That's pretty rare, so I am sitting here in my living room enjoying the quiet. Yesterday was a good day... most of the kids played with the kids next door while I took Kennedy to sign up for dance at her new dance studio. It was National Dance Day so she even got to dance with a bunch of kids which was fun. :) I planned on signing her up for Hip Hop since she really likes dancing to a beat, but after looking at the schedule, I ended up signing her up for a combo Jazz and Lyrical class. She really enjoyed the Ballet that she was doing before, but was not so fond of the Tap dancing part, so I think she'll like this better. She's so excited to get started. She wanted to go back today! HA! I believe classes start the middle of August.

After dance sign ups, we went to Costco where Kennedy discovered the world of samples. And then we had to stop at every. single. one. She even tried to get me to let her sample the coffee! LOL She liked almost everything she ate except for some fish they were sampling. She tried to hand that back to the lady after one bite and said, "No thanks, I'm good." HA! Mommy ate that instead ;). We did manage to get some shopping in, thank goodness, so when we got home the other kids had food to eat too!

Today we are going to a picnic for our new Down Syndrome Association. We always loved going to the ones in Middle Tennessee, so I look forward to meeting new families and having some fun today! We also registered for our first Buddy Walk here. We probably won't make t-shirts or anything this year since it's literally right around the corner, but if you want to check out our team page, here it is! The walk is in Manitou Springs which is a beautiful town close by, so I'm excited to see the spot they picked and meet even more families then!

This week coming up, I have a meeting for new parents for our school district, hopefully we'll get Kennedy's IEP scheduled, and Kassidy has testing for middle school and she has to meet with her counselor to pick her classes. She's very anxious to get her schedule! She wants to take Spanish this semester. Heaven knows daddy will have to be the one to help her there. I know some basic conversational Spanish but when you get into conjugating verbs, forget about it! I knew I should have paid closer attention to my Spanish teacher in high school. *ahem*


Anyway, I guess I should end here... I now have 3 children awake: Kennedy is telling me about her dream about Hello Kitty and that Hello Kitty was a big girl like her. Keeghan is saying he didn't have any dreams because his eyes were opened all night long (hmm...) and Kassidy is sulking because I wouldn't let her kick Keeghan out of "her" chair even though he was there first. I'm beginning to strongly dislike that chair!

I hope you all have a great Sunday! I will try to be back tonight with pictures from the picnic. :)
