If I Could Freeze Time
This would be one of those moments that I would freeze and live in for a while. All 7 kids. Playing nicely. Together.

SalesRabbit PARTY
On Friday night we went to Ben’s work party! We got to order a sandwich from the Grilled Cheese Truck and they had soda and watermelon and yumminess. Then we played in the bounce house and did carnival games to earn tickets. Ben was in charge of the Dig Dug arcade section adn was there the whole time. Joel dropped Mae Mae off for us to babysit!
At the end of the evening they had a dance off and they had the raffle drawing. I might have gotten LOTS of tickets and my ticket numbers were called about 5 times. Ben and I brought home $40 at Target and the kids brought home TONS of kid prizes!
Millie’s Birthday Party
We had a Birthday Party for Millie on Thursday September 15th from 3:00 – 4:30. She did have to go to School that morning – Pajama Day!
Tiago and I worked on Millie’s cake while she was gone:
And we made sure the Treasure Hunt was ready to go:
Then at 3:00 it was party time! We had 10 kindergarteners, 2 1st graders, 6 siblings and a couple of cousins!
We started with Obstacle Course and Parachute Balloon Games!
We did a little LOL game and then opened presents and ate Cake and Ice cream:
And then we were off on a treasure hunt all over the neighborhood, over to the school and back in time for the parents to pick them up…
We made it back to the house and chilled for 1 minute until parents came and Millie basked in all of her presents:
It was a crazy hour and a half but I think it was a success. WE ALL HAD FUN!
Millie ended the night with a present in the mail from Grandma and Grandpa R! and Grandma and Grandpa N stopped by on her Bday with a new lego set. ONE HAPPY 6 YEAR OLD.

Millie’s Birthday – 9/11
Millie had a fun crazy morning trying to get everyone to hurry so that she could open presents!
After school I took her and Tiago to McDonalds for lunch!!
It rained all day but she just played LOL and Barbies and Baby ALive and American Girl Dolls with her sisters and then the rain cleared for SOccer Practice!
We had Sausage Pasta and Corn on the Cobb for dinner and then we had cupcakes to celebrate the BIRTHDAY GIRL.
Millie is 6 going on 16! She is such a social kid and not afraid to talk to anyone. It’s been fun watching her figure out this kindergarten thing with so many kids in class and seeing where she fits in. She is still very controlling in our household but we are hoping that fire will take her far in life. We ended the evening with THE SPANKING TRAIN and then let Millie pick a movie to watch before bed.
Ben and I may have snuck out to the RSL game
Tommy
Millie came home from the first day of Kindergarten talking about this kid named Tommy. She still talks about him and plays with him at recess. She even worked her way into going to his house after school one day and then having him over for a little bit.
The kicker is that she changed all of her birthday plans so that Tommy could come and would have fun! She decorated with LOL stuff and had an LOL cake but she wanted everything else to be stuff the boys would like – obstacle course and treasure hunt!
Kickball Champions
Nettesheim vs Hancock, Backyard Kickball! We had a fun evening at the Hancocks. We ended up playing kickball and had all the kids involved. It was great. The best part was definitely my 2 in the park homers by kicking it inside the trampoline net! so much fun and only a few tears.
Smurfs
Benji is playing soccer again. He is the big 9th grader now and HE SCORED A GOAL in his first game! He’s got a lot of young little guys on his team this year so it’ll be a different season than the last! We headed out for celebratory ice cream but we ended up with dinner after a long day of soccer games!
Panda Power
Rose is having a fun season with lots of her same team from last year! Ellie and Gentry, Cait, Lila, Amelia, Clare, Gwen and they’ve added a few more. She got a GOAL in the first game of the season!!! and she is still the queen of shielding! and the queen of not being able to catch her breath.
