......for the Kids!!!! Mondays are always super busy for moms I think or at least for this Mom!! If you can't get all you need to do done on Mondays then it seems to mess up all plans for the rest of the week. Mondays for my two kids are more laid back and relaxing. I guess they are trying to catch up on their rest from our busy weekends. While doing some work in the kitchen I walked in the living room to find this. I just thought it was so cute I had to take some pics! The reason there are so many is because I was wanting to get a picture of the way I found them - natural. It was so funny though because either one or the other would not stop acting silly.

Finally......

My sweet angel pumpkin. Always smiling and happy. What a joy!!

My pretty angel bunny. She has such a kind heart and brings so much entertainment and laughter to our lives :-)

Lily Grace had a great 2nd week to Preschool. There was no complaining in the mornings and was thrilled to tell me all about it when I picked her up. She is making lots of new friends and learning so much. I love that she is not only learning about what sounds letters make and beginning to even read words but she is learning more about God. Of course being at all chuch services, devos, doing family bible lessons at night is teaching her so much about our wonderful God and all his many blessings but isn't it great to include it in on school work, too? Shouldn't we all be trying to include Him in all our everyday walks of life? Christian school for next year sure is looking good to us! So thankful she is able to have this opportunity and enjoying it so much!

Lily Grace had another great day at Preschool! She insisted on another picture with Cooper before we left. :) She said they learned more about Indians and she even wore home an "Indian hat". So thankful her first week went so well. I think this is going to be an exciting year!

Lily Grace had a great second day to preschool. I was not planning on taking a picture every single morning but as we were walking out the door she asked if I would take a picture of her with Cooper. Of course I had to! :) She was excited and ready to go!

LG was very tired when I picked her up. She was sad she did not get to give Mykah a hug goodbye. So I told her she would see her tomorrow. She said, "WHAT?! Three days a week???" I asked her did she not like preschool? And she said, "Yes, I love it but three days a week is a lot!" Haha! Preschool is probably best for her to get her ready for next year of Kindergarten!! She taught me the Indian song she learned and said she had a lot of fun. This is what was in her folder:

Today was Lily Grace's first day to Preschool. I can't believe she is old enough for this! Wow, how time really flies! She will be attending every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 8-12 at Pineview Preschool. She was very excited this morning when I woke her up. She ate all her breakfast of biscuit and bacon. She was a little nervous and could not stop talking! Marty said she is just like me because I do the same thing :) She was just too precious. I cried a lot last night and this morning there were some tears shed but I never would let LG see that. (Even Daddy had a few tears.) She just means the world to us and it is so hard seeing our baby girl growing up so fast. She will be missed here in the mornings by Mommy and brother but I know she is learning, making new friends, having a blast and most of all GOD is with her! Here are a few pictures before she left this morning.

Lily Grace's Backpack for this year

Mrs. Lackey is her teacher and she said LG is very smart. Yay! I am so proud :) Mrs. Lackey is very sweet and I know we are going to have a great year with her! LG was very tired when I picked her up and thirsty! That is all she talked about how thirsty she was! I know now to take milk with me tomorrow when I pick her up! Once we got home and she drank a whole cup of milk, she started talking. She had lots to tell me. She learned about the letter I and sang songs about Indians. She said they played outside and she had cheese and grapes to eat with apple juice. She made a new friend that was a boy but she could not remember his name. Of course, her best friend Mykah was there and she was happy to see her. She was a little upset about a little boy hitting a girl on the back. And the girl had a hairbow in her hair and she just cried and cried. She said he was moved to yellow. Then she said very dramatic, "I --- stayed --- on ---- green ---- ALL ---- day ---- long!" So happy for that!! I thought that little story was funny. I am sure I will have lots of stories to come over this year. We are looking forward to it!

This was what was sent home in her folder today.
