Pajama Day

Thanks to Nathan and Kristen for the pretty pj's.

Homecoming week

Well, it's homecoming week and the students are allowed to dress a little extravagantly. Today was 'crazy day'. I asked Audrey what that meant and her teacher said to do crazy hair. So... we did. She looked crazy and she was excited to go.


Audrey was also randomly selected to be the crown bearer for the queen for homecoming this Friday at the football game. She'll get to dress up pretty and present the crown to the homecoming queen, probably even get her picture in the paper. More to come....

Happy Birthday Audrey

It's hard to believe, but Audrey is 5 years old!



Mom and Dad took cookies in for her kindergarten class during their break time. She was excited to pass them out.


One of her many presents... her very own bowl for ramen noodles.

Officially a soccer mom

It has begun. I am now officially a soccer mom. Audrey loves to run and play, so if you add a ball it's even better. She likes to play with friends her age and this is certainly a good opportunity. There are 18 on her team!

When asked what her favorite part of soccer practice was, she responded "Playing duck, duck, goose at the end." :) Figures.

Emma

Starting yesterday, I have begun watching another child Tuesday through Friday during the school year. Her name is Emma and she is actually younger than Abigail, even though she looks much bigger. My children are just very petite! They both like having a playmate their age and they have lots of fun together.

She likes to wear dress up clothes.

I have the whole gang after school.

First day of school

Audrey was SOOOO EXCITED for her first day of school. She could NOT stop smiling!


She picked out her outfit the day before and requested her hair be done this way. (She has two little braids.) We were able to take Audrey's school things to her classroom the day before at the open house, so all she had to carry this morning was her blanket for nap time.



She looks very grown up sitting in the car.

Still smiling!

Daddy will usually drop her off on his way to church in the morning. Then Mommy will pick her up after school. We will probably walk/wagon ride/bike, but today it is raining, so we will have to see what the weather is like this afternoon.

Prarie Rose Lake

It was a good evening to head out to the beach at the lake and play. We went a little crazy on the sand castles this time, but it was lots of fun.




Family photo in the water... didn't even drop the camera in!


SISTERS!! :)


Abigail was content for a long time right here. She said she was making her own sand castle.
