School's Back In Session!!

Well, school started last Wednesday, August 20, 2008, and the Farrell kids (and Mom) were ready! Morgan is in 5th grade this year, Maggie is in 3rd grade, and Marshall started Kindergarten! It was really hard to watch him walk out the door on his first day, but I know that he is loving being able to go to school with his big brother and sister.

Everybody is getting back into the "school" routine, including the kids at the daycare. By Friday, we had some very cranky kids who were just not used to this routine! Having a couple months off in the summer really messes with everyone's schedule!

This past weekend, we did nothing big but stay at HOME!! I think that this was only the 2nd weekend since May that we have been able to do that. On Friday night, we all went on a four-wheeler ride with our friends, the McFee's. It was the maiden voyage for the little four-wheeler that Greg just got the kids. Morgan and Marshall took turns riding it alone. Maggie isn't too interested in it. She would rather just ride with someone else in the buddy seat of a big four-wheeler. Needless to say, Marshall Farrell thinks he is big stuff driving the four-wheeler "alone". Saturday night we went to our friends, the Lewis' and had a weenie roast and made s'mores around a campfire. The kids played baseball and rode bikes (even in the dark). I think everyone had a great time! Then on Sunday, we had the most excitement of the entire weekend....we cleaned house and finished our back deck! What a way to wrap up the weekend!
