We had lots of fun at Bouncin Bears Today!

First Day of Pre-School

I can't believe that I am sitting here without the boys.  :(  It is almost too quiet!  I am not very good at milestones, because I definitely want to shed a few tears.  However, it helped lessen the blow that Sam was so excited to go to school this morning.  He kept saying "school school" and "car car," because he wanted to get in the car.  He was saying "Mama" and pointing to my purse and diaper bag.  He has never done that before, so it was definitely what I needed to make me feel good about dropping them off for the first time.  Will and Andrew did very well, too.  They all looked so cute carrying their Cars nap mats and Spider Man lunch boxes.  I carried in their Elmo backpacks for them.  They went right in to the room, without any trouble at all.  I think they will have a great time getting to learn and play and interact with other kids.  I wasn't sure what to pack for lunch, so I packed a few things-- turkey and cheese on flatbread, pbj, grapes, string cheese, and a juice box.

After dropping off the boys, I went to Academy to pick up their shin guards and socks for their first soccer practice tomorrow.  Then, I came home for lunch.  I am looking forward to checking off a list of things while they are in pre-school, but today--I decided to take it easy.  It feels so weird to have this free time.  I hope the boys are having a great time!

Lots of excitement lately

Leen came to visit us recently, and she brought us a whole school wardrobe.  She can find a deal better than anyone out there, which means the boys get to look a lot cuter than when their mama dresses them.  They will certainly be adorable at school, and they will love all the fun things on the shirts...like CARS, dinosaurs,  and bicycles and lots of fun things!

She also gave us another great thing for school--our Spiderman lunchboxes, Cars art kits, and a Cars cameras!!!!!  We love everything Cars!

Today was our birthday party, and we had a rocket ship themed!  We also got to hit a pinata for the first time.  We got more Cars things to add to our collection along with movies and so many great toys!  Wow--we had a great birthday!!!!
