The Russo's

 The first day of school was August 19, 2020. I let Gianna off for her birthday, so we started the next day.  Nana Angie had shirts made again for this year. Hudson- 6th grade and Gianna - 4th Grade He keeps us laughing They did a scavenger hunt and liked it so I gave them another one to do Filled out a first day page I added some encouraging posters to the classroom  I got a bigger book shelf that Cadie was giving away and painted it The table needed a refresh so I repainted it and the chairs. I did chalkboard paint on the top.  Camo now gets on the table to lay   We are sticking with the same curriculum as last year except for science. I like the Masterbooks history, so I chose an Earth science from them. We are able to do history and science together again this year.  Nana and Papa hosted a back to school Fiesta. Cadie did a lot of decorating and planning also. It turned out very cute!  They played a cactus toss, a taco game and scavenger hunt ...

The kids went on a swamp tour for Kaden's birthday It was their first time on one and they had a great time!   For Maw Ella's birthday we surprised her with a parade. We made signs and decorated all "the vehicles". We were going through the yard so this time we were on recreational vehicles.  Hudson came up with this box to drop balloons, but it didn't work well. The go cart kept killing while we were going.  Hudson on Papa's mower We picnicked in the yard after  

We decided to get a waterslide for Gianna's birthday to do something special for the kids since we couldn't do a lot this summer.  It was delivered around 8:00 am and they tried it out immediately I wanted to start early so they could get the most time with the slide. We did a Sweet Summer Time theme with brunch. Kids enjoying the slide. Nash and Jetta came in town for the weekend.  The adults trying to stay cool in the shade!  Jules was pouting because she wanted to blow out the candles and Gianna let her help.  She got money, gift card, earrings, dresses, floam and nail polish.  We gave her a new bike  It was nice to have Jen and her kids here Josh tried out the slide  It was a family party. Doug had Covid so he and Nana B couldn't come.  Nash and Jetta spent the night and they played all the way until 7:30 that night! Her birthday was the following Tuesday. I took them swimming at Jamie's house.  We got CC's coffee  She wanted Buffalo...
