Pinterest

Ok, so it's safe to say I'm hooked on Pinterest.  So many fun ideas.  I've indulged in a few already.  Here's the most recent.  The idea came from Chez Beeper Bebe as a scrape buster.  And since I'll probably never have the time to use all my scraps for a sweet-looking quilt like I've been dreamin' about, magnetic ABCs will have to do.  And, I think they're pretty nifty. 

Pre-school!



Ellie's first day of Thursday school...she was annoyed that I made her wear the white button-up over her sleeveless dress, but it was 55 degrees out, what's a mom to do but ruin her 3 year olds personal style. 




She hopped up in her chair and was ready to sing opening songs...also, notice white button-up is off, after the first pic, she declared she was "hot" and promptly removed the offending clothing.

Kindergarten!

First day of school, first day of school!! This kid was so stinkin' excited about it that he woke up at 6 a.m. No first day jitters here, just walking in the school full of confidence. Made my heart proud. And NO, I didn't cry...'cause I already had my melt-down yesterday. Ha! Once that was out of my system, I was just plain excited for O. I think Ellie was more sad at the drop off than anyone else. She wanted to go with him, and let me tell ya, it's gonna be an adjustment for her. Her best friend won't be around to play with her all day. Before Owen left for school, we all held hands and prayed. Owen-may the Lord bless you and keep you on this new Kindergarten adventure!

It was a Candyland party for this little cutie pie. Ellie you bless us everyday! We love you!

We played a "live" version of Candyland thoughout the house before heading out to swim.

Seriously cool...

Here are my kids and their cousins sitting with their great-great grandma...that's right 2 greats...as in Justin's mom's mom's mom. Got it? Amazing. Granny will be 97 this month.
