The Baker Bunch: Keeping Cool!

Keeping Cool!

Just as I predicted...a very mild summer, where we found ourselves choosing NOT to go to the pool because of the cool temps...is now bringing a very HOT back to school! It's very frustrating when the kids are back at school and desperately need a break from sitting to run and get their wiggles out...and they have to stay inside because of the heat! Hoping this passes soon! Really ready for fall temps!

The kids at Jo's have been trying to stay cool also! They had a "car wash" and just some fun in the water. Apparently Mr. Bryce wouldn't have anything to do with water spraying on him!

Mr. Serious Driver!

They made their own popsicles!

Fun with toys!

Car wash!

Getting everything clean!

The boys have had a great back to school! Last week we got a sweet email from Mason's teacher just saying he was doing well, making friends, etc. This week he had his first yellow day. Here's how that conversation went:

~Me: How was your dad today?

~Mason: Yellow

~Me: Uh oh. Why did you get a yellow?

~Mason: She knows (pointing to the y club teacher)

~Me: She might know but I want you to tell me.

~Mason: I was talking.

~Me: To who?

~Mason: Owen

~Me: Where were you?

~Mason: The hallway.

~Me: What were you talking about?

~Mason: He had a watch. We were trying to tell the time.

~Me: That probably wasn't the best choice. I'm sure you were supposed to be quiet.

~Mason: Well, Mom, you said I might make mistakes!"

Oh my! Here's the note his teacher put on his behavior calendar that night:

Matt is in charge of recruiting for our pack this year. So we have been getting brochures ready to take to the schools. That part is done so now it's the back to school meetings this week. Friday night we had our first Pack Meeting of the year. The boys LOVED it because the fire truck was here spraying them with water! A great night for it with the temperatures we've been having!
