Preschool...Yippee!!

By -
Preschool has started...Yippee! Amelia & Adelaide started yesterday. They LOVE it! They have been SO excited & asking me for months when they get to go to preschool. Here's a too-cute pic of the girls. - Dang! Looks can be deceiving. They almost look like they could get-along.The girls are very excited with their backpacks. Just imagine...Adam got a new backpack & I had to get one for everyone. (Amelia = Disney Princesses / Adelaide = Barbie)
The girls have a cubby that they share - a place to hang their sweaters & backpacks. And, it's just their size. Three cheers for independence!!Andrea is one of their "Big Kid Buddies" at preschool. It's at a local high school 3 days a week. It's only for an hour & a half, but it's free...It gives me a break.
Lauren is their other "Big Kid Buddy". Preschool overlaps 2 class periods. The girls are having a great time so far & don't seem homesick at all - just excited. Awesome!

Is that church Andrea? Look how pretty and grown up she is! Oh, and your girls look great too! What a fun thing for them to get to do. I hope you enjoy having "just" one for a few hours a week!

How cute are the girls, in that picture, with Addy's head resting on Mia's shoulder? I love how sweet they can look. It looks like they are having fun and getting to feel like big girls. Good job Mom!! ;0)

Allison's 6th Birthday!

 I did a carnival theme for Allison's birthday. When the girls first arrived, I gave them a carousel horse coloring page & a paper lunchbag to decorate. Then, we ate corndogs, popcorn, and apples with caramel dip. I painted some metal washers with nail polish and made them into cute little necklaces for the party. I flipped them all face down, and the girls got to go "fishing" for the one they wanted.  We used some empty soda cans for another game. The girls even got to pick little Happy Meal stuffed animals for prizes.  I tried to think of other Midway games at the fair & remembered ones where you won a goldfish or tossed the ball into the fishbowl. I combined that idea with Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and this is what I came up with. I thought it was cute!  We used empty water bottles decorated with duct tape for our bowling pins. Mia was in charge of this game & got to re-set the pins for each person. I was thankful for the help & ...

Chuck E. Cheese...Yay!??!

I decided to suck-it-up and take the family to Chuck E. Cheese for Allison's birthday. In AZ, the kids really liked going to Peter Piper Pizza for pizza & games. We've been here 2 years, and I've managed NOT to make it into Chuck E. Cheese. The kids have asked many times, but it just hasn't happened. So, I thought it would be a treat for them. A friend of mine gave me some coupons & I printed some off the Internet too. We got tons of tokens, pizza & soda for everyone. We had a pretty good time, except for 3 emotional meltdowns - ALL thanks to Mia. One meltdown because she wanted to play a specific game, another when we were down to our last 2 tokens (one for Adelaide & one for Mia). Her final tantrum was on the way out when she changed her mind at the last minute about which prize she wanted (after our turn was over). We'll have to think seriously about another birthday @ Chuck E. Cheese. - Mia says she wants to have her birthday there next month. W...

Mommy Mia!

Yesterday, I was on the computer checking my email. Allison was napping & the girls were watching TV just in the next room. I could hear that they were playing Mommy & Baby. I could hear Mia telling Adelaide that she was stinky & Adelaide replying in her "baby voice" that yes, she was poopy. This interupted me & I asked about it. I only half heard something about not "real mom" I mean "pretend mom". (This is rather a regular occurrence in our house.) I don't know what exactly made me peek over the couch, but this is what I found - "Mommy" & "Baby" (complete with bottle). "Mommy Mia" was changing " Baby Adelaide's" diaper! Just a couple of problems: Mo mmy didn't take off baby's diaper, she just put the new one over the top of the old - Second, it was Allison's diaper, there fore 2 sizes too small. They were laughing & so cute I couldn't help but laugh.
