5 days in

Av has successfully completed 5 days of kindergarden!!! She is still loving it and getting on the bus in the am and getting off the bus in the pm happy! I am so proud of her. The big question now is how many more days will I continue to cry seeing that bus leave in the morning? I am crazy!! As soon as she is out of my sight I tear up. I can't help it. Wonder if I can go for the world's longest crying record???

no car day

Today was awesome!! My car didn't leave the garage all day. We walked/ran everywhere we went. I love days like that. We got up and walked Av to the bus stop, then we headed home to pack up snacks and finish getting dressed then off to the park we went. I ran us there. By the time I run us there, do a loop on the path and then run us home its about 2 miles. Not bad pushing my huge children. We stayed at the park forever though. It was such a perfect morning and we kept running into more and more friends. C played with Sam, Jocelyn, Ella and Abby. She loved it. After running home we ate lunch and then E took a 3 hour nap!! C watched a movie for quiet time and then we worked in a workbook, painted, played Candyland, and read books. It was a perfect afternoon. After that we walked to the bank and Walgreens and then biked/walked to the bus stop to get Av. Only thing that would have made the day better had Av been with us. She had another great day though. She loves is and loves the bus. I could not be happier. Here are some pics from the bus stop today.

I have a walker

Somebody is pretty much officially a walker. All the sudden. He is obsessed and it's all he wants to do. He worked on it this weekend and then today he has been walking if he can. He makes it all the way across the room. He thinks he's big stuff. It makes him so happy.

First hair cut

E had his first hair cut this weekend. He needed it. It was long and way over the ears and always a mess with food in it. I had no idea how a hair cut on a 10 month old would go but I got my answer. HORRIBLE. He HATED it. From the minute the strange women came towards him with the strange objects until the minute we left the place he screamed. I felt bad for the other 2 peeps in there who had come to get a relaxing hair cut. He started out sitting in the chair by himself with me standing right in front of him. That quickly turned bad so I held him. He hated the cape and it was pointless bc by the time we left we were both covered in hair. I had to hold his neck steady which was very hard. The lady kept trying to give him breaks to calm him down but he was not having it. All he wanted was out of that place. It turned out okay. He looks a lot older and very cute. J will have to take him next time though. This is pre-cut/pre-fit. Last pic I got since I was busy holding him down. Then a pic of him later in the day after he finally calmed down.

First day of school pics

Unexpected trip to the zoo

These pics are from last week on Tuesday. The day was supposed to be Av's second day of K but it wasn't so we took advantage of it and I took my 3 fav peeps to the zoo. Wonderful last adventure together. Here are some pics.

School

Both girls had a great day on Friday! C was very happy when I peeked in on her before her class got out. Av's bus got home 5 minutes early and the driver said they would prob be earlier and earlier. Such good news. When I asked Av if she got a green card again for the day she kind of sounded sad and said "yes I didn't get to change colors." A color change is bad so we want her to stick with the green. When they get a color change it means there have been behavioral problems. I explained that to Av and she said, "I know that!" I told her to listen to her teacher and be happy with her green card.
