Preschool

Today was the day!

We met Evelyn and Adia's teacher last week, Miss Korbi and they've been asking to go to school ever since. I've been so excited for them to go too, I could tell they needed something, something I couldn't seem to give them. They were itching to learn more and my simple answers to all their questions just weren't cutting it anymore.

 Of course I had my worries leading up to this day. For almost a year now I've been fretting and researching possible school choices. Will it have the "extras" I feel my kids will love? Will they be lost in the crowd of a million and one kids? Will it become more of a daycare than a preschool? Luckily, I had a sister in the area who had done this dance like 8 years ago, and all I've ever heard about this particular school has been sparkling positive, and by some miracle they had space for my amazing two. Sigh of relief!

So excited! Today they gathered in their classroom and I watched (teary eyed) as they lined up and marched to Art workshop; one of the many they'll get to experience, like Music, Cooking, Science, and History/ Foreign Language. Of course those are the extras I was talking about that are spread throughout the week. They'll also have the basics; Handwriting, Phonics, and Math.

It blows me away how suddenly this day has arrived it really does feel like yesterday we were just here(Two Beautiful Girls) and now my two beautiful girls are off to preschool.

Some Random Antics

Lily decided to bonk her head on the ground for fun. I love these kids. :)

Making T-Shirts With Dad

Angelica was out having fun her sisters for a few days, and so I had the kids for the day. I thought it'd be fun to do a craft with the kids, and I'd been wanting to try out printable, iron-on t-shirt transfers for a while.

We first started out planning to use some clip art images found on the net, but the kids suggested drawing, and I thought that was a great idea! It would be really cool to see your own artwork on a shirt!

We used an app called Paper for our iPad. Adia drew a picture, then we gave it to Evelyn. Evelyn did such a fun, colorful picture that Adia wanted it on her t-shirt too! It's lovely too!

I also made a shirt, a flag from a video game I like, and it was fun to use. All in all, we had fun and spent less than $25 for materials.

3 kids + 5 rolls of toilet paper=

Yes, 5 whole rolls of toilet paper.














I was able to salvage 4 of the 5 rolls, the fifth was very thoroughly shredded. And yes, all 3 of the children remained unharmed, but were quite upset when I wouldn't take a picture of them with their handy work.

Neil here with pics!

I'm always taking fun pictures, here's a few:

The last one is our buddy (and cousin) Wyatt doing a hulk, while Eve plays the part of the princess. :) Adi just wanted to be in the picture, as she always does. :)

Everyday everyday

Not a super exciting post but I felt like updating. So it's our everyday everyday post.
One day Charity's kids spent the day with us while she went to Youth Conference.
Logan, Jaycee, Adia, Sydnie, Evelyn, and Brynn all lined up to watch The Lion King.


Watching Ruby Gloom with Dad. Neil says its only show he can stand to actually watch with the kids.


4th of July pancakes, as close to star shaped as I could get.


Eve being Eve. She got herself ready that day :) when she saw this photo she said "is that me shaking my booty?" but in Eve speak it sounded more like "booday"


These three love to snuggle up together and watch movies.


I seriously adore when they play like this together. It makes my heart smile.

I am one lucky momma!
