First, we started back to Cub Scouts. We had our first meeting of the school year, getting back to our friends and that routine. Then Ben got to spend a few days at Grandmom’s house. They spent one lunch at Chuck E Cheese. And it sounds like he spent the rest of the time playing with Legos. We hung out at La Cantera one afternoon for school shopping, playing at the playground, and getting treats at Marble Slab. We spent an evening at Curington for Meet the Teacher night. 
And this past weekend was his usual last days of summer treat…
Saturday morning, Nathan and Ben headed up to church for a scout fundraiser. They spent hours serving up bbq and sides to car after car that came to the “drive-thru.” Then we all headed to Incredible Pizza. Evan loved all the toddler games. Ben loved anything that won him some tickets. We all loved the putt-putt golf and the never-ending buffet. But maybe the favorite thing was getting to drive the go-karts. Ben wa
s excited to be tall enough to drive by himself. And Evan was big enough to ride with Nathan. “Wheeeeeeee!” Yesterday was a lazy day, getting to enjoy family time. Ben cooked us dinner (hamburgers and homemade french fries!). And then we headed to Sonic for milkshakes.
And today was the first day of school. Nathan got Ben to the bus stop and sent him on his way. Then Evan and I headed up to meet him at class so that I could get that all-important picture with the new teacher.

Incredible Pizza is awesome!!!
So how did the first day go?
Sounded great. He came home with lots of stories about the day and the kids in his class. He really loved being able to play with old friends at recess.
It all sounds like so much fun!
(He made homemade french fries???)
Yep. He washed the potatoes (even though he DID NOT want to touch them). Sliced them up with a pizza cutter. Put them in the ice water.
And then Nathan did the frying part.
Yum!
