Catch up

Ok, so I'm playing a bit of catch up here. Lee created this blog for me as a way to keep in touch with our families that are far away (and some of you that are close but don't get a chance to visit much). I wanted to send out some pictures of the kids from their first day of school but I don't think I got the chance so here are Kurgan and Kira on their first day! They were really excited about school and when we went school shopping they gave us a little fashion show of their newest outfits. It was a lot of fun watching them strut their stuff for us.
Things are beginning to get a little better here and everyone is adjusting to having Kash around. I have noticed how unorganized I am and it is driving me a bit crazy but I'm slowly getting things in order. We broke out the swing last week and some other miscellaneous things that we had in the garage and I must say that the swing has been a blessing for us because Kash loves it! We already wore out the batteries that were in it and I'm sure I'll be sending Lee to the store for some more soon.




















We also have some more great news about Kurgan! He was in a ping pong tournament at his school this past week and ended up winning the championship! Now there is a teacher that wants to test his skills against Kurgans so they will be battling next week. AND....that's not all! Kurgan decided that he wanted to run for student council this year and chose to run for President. Lee made up some awesome posters for him to hang up at school although one got rejected because those in charge thought that it showed too much skin. I thought it was a super funny idea for a poster and was a bit bummed that he couldn't put it up at school but I don't think most of the kids would get the joke anyway.

On Friday we found out that (drum roll please....) Kurgan was elected as the school's President for the year! We are so proud of him. We even decided that because it was such a great week for the boy that we would let him pick a place for dinner and we all went to Macayos for some delicious Mexican food (even Kash!). So it's been a pretty crazy week full of fun and adventure for the Freedles and we're hoping that next week brings more fun. Lee is officially on vacation for 2 weeks until his next rotation starts so it will be very nice to have him home.
