First Day of School

Today was the boys' first day of school. Casey will be in second grade and Brett will be in fourth grade.

It was a rough morning--it started pouring right before the bus came.

I managed to get a few photos of them before the rain.

Water balloon fight

This summer, the boys have been playing with water balloons with some of their neighborhood friends.

To celebrate the end of summer, we decided to let them have a water balloon fight.

Blowing up and tying all the balloons wasn't much fun, but throwing the water balloons was a blast!

Birthday brothers

Casey's eighth birthday was last Saturday, the 15th, so we bought him a Nintendo DSi, which was one of the things he really wanted. Since Brett's 10th birthday is Tuesday, Aug. 18, we bought him one as well and let them both open them.

I can't believe how old they are!
