10.04.2011: continued with a little "milestone"

 My little loveys, you know those kidlets who bring me nothing but joy they ended the day with a "fun" milestone of sorts. 

Let's preface with they are 3 and 2 and it was bound to happen sometime.  Today after many talks on "danger" and we don't touch mommies scissors it happened...i was sewing, looked up and out the window to see Bella use my good, extra sharp fabric scissors to whack of her brothers spikes....

 Notice the hunk out of the (his) right side. Thankfully he's got enough calics it isn't terribly noticeable.

It was then that the scream of NOOOOOOOO and me jumping out the door that i saw Bella take her ponytail and whack off the length below the rubber band. 

Incidentally, baby girl gave herself a mullet. Thankfully she wears big bows and no one is the wiser. As long as she wears her hair exactly the same until it grows out we will be good...

It could be worse...alas...another milestone checked off the list.

09.06.2011: Meet the Teacher

 

 

 

Today was the first day in our very busy fall schedule. ( you can see it went swimmingly well by the little attitudes for the pictures) Meet the teacher! The kids were excited, i was a little nervous because this is the first time I've let Bella spend time without me and I blinked and P is gone too:( I'm happy for them and this new experience but man will I miss my babies! We even sat down and made cute little teacher gifts but I forgot to get pictures...they were precious! It was a cute little mason jar filled with swedish fish and a note tag hung off that said " I'm glad you're O-FISH-ALLY my teacher" You'll have to trust me on the cute factor and I love that Bel and P both helped:)

It was a really great experience in a well established school that more than meets my requirements/wants in a preschool. It's academic and Godly and I love it. They do Spanish and chapel every day along with science( not so normal in the preschool world). This year the chapel focus is on the Fruit of the Spirit and I LOVE IT. It was a concept i learned later in life and learning even more deeply right now so it is fun that they're learning it early and we are doing it together. The place is so happy...i need to take pictures of the school itself, it's really a wonderful place!
