InstaKings...

Our week started out pretty much perfect! We woke up last Sunday to SEVENTY DEGREE WEATHER! This meant mandatory breakfast on the back porch and playtime for the kids. Radley was "so cold" he needed a jacket.

He warmed up enough for a quick costume change into pirate pants for his bow and arrow practice sesh.


My mom and I had not been shopping together since May - which is basically a lifetime. She convinced me that I needed two pair of shoes, including these adorable flats. They have a ton at Target ladies and one pair is on sale for $7!!!


Our Kindergarten Countdown continued and we bumped up the fun with this calendar! Packages with purple and blue bows mean his sisters also have a prize. (Thanks, Gigi and Pops!)


Gigi made time for quick run through the sprinklers before she headed back to BR on Monday. 



It was a sad week in Aggieland... one of our campus landmarks is coming down to make room for the "new and improved" Kyle Field. My office is directly across from Rockin' Rollie/Jolly Rollie/the Holler House so bit by bit I've seen it torn apart. 


They seriously mean business... the time between the pic above and below is about 4 hours.



It's so much fun watching TV with him...


Tuesday meant Pancakes at the Playground and basically sealed the deal for Radley's excitement about going to kindergarten!


Lots of littles that I love are heading to school this year. Including Sweet Caroline. I snuck her out of school for a bit one afternoon for her first ever trip to Starbucks. We drank a little milk, ate some cinnamon rolls and rice krispie treats and read chapter one in Anne of Green Gables...it was basically the perfect mid day snack.


So I hadn't seen this guy since he was about 3 years old and then he turns the corned in my office as a FRESHMAN at A&M! So excited to have him here!



Day 3 destruction... GAH!
We are all convinced that this wasn't supposed to happen - basically because all the workers stopped what they were doing and stared at the former coliseum. This collapse shook our desks across the street!


I picked Radley up early on Wednesday for some back to school shopping. It was his first official mall shopping experience complete with snacks. We had so much fun together and I didn't stress out one bit because everything fit him the first time! If only that happened for me....


There were some tears writing these notes...


but there was lots of smiles for all the fun the last day of school brings!


We said goodbye to lots of teachers...



and so did Emmy because she is moving up, too!


School supplies: not just for kids anymore.
Best organization system EVER!!
(I'll send you links KK and JLic).

Thanks, Cindy!



And just like that, he was walking out of PreK!


And ready for KINDERGARTEN! He loved seeing his school and classrooms and meeting his teachers! 


And we loved our night out with Rad!


Milestones are happening left and right at our house... Miss L had her first ponytail with all of her hair pulled up!


Seriously, we really do have cute kids.
:)


Told ya!

Check them out all decked out in purple cheering for the cougars! 
(Ignore the fact that our shirts say Tigers!)



And that's us in an instant!
