As part of our Family Home Evening we played Kenzi's Dr. Seuss ABC Stretchy game. She loves to play this game with mommy and daddy as it is funny to watch mommy and daddy try and get in those positions that are required! Here is Kenzi trying to get her ear on a letter. Yep, I said ear!
I understand that I may still be more flexible than some but even I could not get my ear to where it needed to go!
Carter getting an easy one!
TUESDAY - So Tuesdays are gymnastics day and sometimes Kenzi does something new. Today is one of those days. And I have a feeling some of you might sometimes feel a bit like Kenzi looks in this activity. So if you ever feel like you are in the rat race. Just remember, you could be stuck in a wheel! Enjoy!
WEDNESDAY - So everyone here in Allen is gearing up towards the first day of school on Monday. The library was offering a Kindergarten Readiness class so Kenzi and I went. She seemed to have a good time. Though she wanted to sit with me part way through. So I told her I would sit right behind her.
So after the library we went to get in our car for our next activity and it would not start. So we called AAA and they told my battery was bad and jump started my car. I then went home got the tools that I would need and went straight to the parts store. I bought the battery and replaced it. The only trouble that I had was getting the battery out of the area, to which a very nice gentleman helped me out. Of course the whole time Kenzi asked me what I was doing and I got quite a few funny looks from the other customers. Maybe they have never seen a girl work on a car before, but now they can't say never!
So then after the car trouble we went to get swim lessons from Shanette. She is an EMT and a certified swim teacher with Red Cross. She is so awesome with Kenzi and was very thorough. Unfortunately Shanette went to college, but she said that she would be back next summer to continue the lessons. Carter and I think that she will be engaged, married, and possibly pregnant. So we will see! But anywho, Kenzi loved her lesson and did stuff for Shanette that she will not do for me.
THURSDAY - As stated earlier, in preparation of getting ready for school, Kenzi and I practiced on Thursday and Friday morning. We woke up the time we needed to get up and got ready and walked to school. She was totally into it and getting very excited!
Wondering why she can't get in!
FRIDAY - This was a day of randomness. We practiced walking to school. On the way home we stopped at the park and she was very naughty when it was time to go.
...So when we went swimming with our friends she had to sit in a chair and watch. Of course she did not like this, but I told her that if she was not good leaving the park she could not swim!
We then were invited to Ben's birthday party. She had another fit and we had to leave Ben's party before he finished opening presents.
SATURDAY - So today we cleaned up the house a little bit and Kenzi had a make up lesson for Gymnastics. And then we had a Mommy and Me Scrapbook party. Kenzi's friend, Sheridan brought her mom, Stacey. We had a great time talking, scrapbooking, and even enjoyed some cupcakes! The interesting thing is that I gave Kezni the choice of having a End of Summer party with her pool and sprinklers or a Mommy and Me Scrapbook party. And yep, she chose scrapbooking.
Carter and I went on a date tonight and we had Shanette watch Kenzi one more time. We love Shanette very much. We are very happy for her and the wonderful new opportunity she is going to have! We know that Shanette will be extremely successful no matter what she does! Remember who you are girl!
This was a very eventful week and hopefully a fun end to our summer. I know Kenzi will do great in school and learn a lot. Now hopefully I can use my time wisely and not cry too much! Later! Kari.
