We have been very busy around here getting Ashlyn ready to go to kindergarten. Dawson started going back to his preschool on August 1st. That left Ashlyn and I with several days that were just the two of us. What a rare treat to be able to spend the whole day together with just each other!!! We had so much fun the last few weeks. I wanted to make it very special for her, so I let her pick what we did. We went to a movie, went miniature golfing, went out to lunch at her favorite restaurants, got frozen yogurt, etc. We also did A LOT of back to school shopping. Its been years and years since I have done any back to school shopping and I had forgotten how much fun it is. We even went up to Denver one day to do some shopping. We went with Gram too. The day was perfect because we had lunch at our favorite restaurant and Ashlyn got to take a trip to the American Girl store.
This past weekend was a fun one too. Joey and I took the kids to see Planes. Dawson has been dying to see it, so we went. I thought the movie was just okay, but the kids of course loved it. After the movie, we got both kids haircuts so they would look nice and neat for school. We ended the day watching some Broncos football. On Sunday, Ashlyn got to go to the park with her Dad and brother. In the afternoon, we went over to her Auntie's house to make a special back to school cake for her. Afterwards,we came back home and went through all Ashlyn's new clothes and picked out her outfits for the week. We also got her lunch ready.
When I was younger and in school, our family had a tradition of going to a local pizza place, Fargo's the night before school started. My mom recently reminded me of this tradition and I really want to do it with my kids too. So, on Sunday night, we all headed to Fargo's for some delicious pizza. We had a great time eating pizza and talking about Ashlyn's big day coming up. After pizza, we headed to my sister's house to eat Ashlyn's back to school cake. My sister even bought Ashyln a special card and flowers. What a great day Ashlyn had on the day before school started.
