Croc-o-saurus

My Little Artist has been drawing more fabulous pictures. At school this week she created her own animal, a croc-o-saurus. I am assuming part crocodile and dinosaur. Her teachers tell me every day that I have a little artist on my hands. Her favorite center is the art center and apparently she is always asking to paint. I love all that creativity in her!!

Happy Birthday to My Dad

Today would have been my dad's 63rd birthday and I miss him. You see it was 17 years ago that he passed away from colon cancer. I think of him often and wish he could have met Jason and the girls. He would have loved them and he would have been wrapped around my girls' little finger, just like he was wrapped around mine. He was the best dad a kid could have and see a lot of him in Jason. He was loving, so much fun and always was my biggest supporter in anything I did or wanted to to do.  I am thankful for the time I was able to spend with him and I am thankful he is watching over me.

 Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you!

Wordless Wednesday

First Day at the ELA

Not so bright, it was dark...and early we got the girls up and ready for their first day at the ELA.

As we got them both dressed this morning I was teary eyed. I could not believe that both of my girls were going to school. Addison was beyond excited and quickly got dressed so we could head out the door. This morning I made a special first day of school smoothie for everyone so we could drink it in the car together. Addison loved her smoothie and I have a feeling it's going to turn into a daily thing because she asked tonight if she could have another one in the morning.

Both girls did great a drop off, walking immediately into their rooms and started playing right away.

When I picked them up this afternoon, they were still happy as clams. Addison told me she had so much fun today and she even got to sit on her letter A at circle time! How exciting! She was so proud. Ashley of course could not tell me how her day was but I assuming by the tantrum she had not wanting to leave that she had a fun day too.

Here are some pics from this morning. Forgive me, something is up with our camera and they did not turn out very well :(

and Ashley was not having it with the camera this morning!

Head Stands

Addison has been so fascinated with the fact that she can stand on her head lately. She has tried to do it by herself but Popi taught her how to practice on a wall. Any given time throughout the day I can find her like this...

It's really quite funny!
