First day of Kindergarten!!

Here she is...our big kindergarten girl!!! She had a half-day today, full day tomorrow and Thursday, then off for Labor Day weekend. She really liked it & said she had a lot of fun! Her teacher seems really nice, and we've heard lots of good things about her from other parents at the school. We did okay at home without her...Andrew was missing his partner in crime a little bit, but we went to the gym with our friends and he had fun there! One thing that may be an issue...Elizabeth is pretty concerned that tomorrow during "rest time", she won't have taggie & lambie, and "doesn't know how she's going to get to sleep"! Hmm...

She was tired tonight, and was asking when it was time to go to bed...we'll have to get off our relaxed summer schedule and into our school routine!

Time is going by so fast...pretty soon Andrew will be there too!

Reunion!!

Oh my goodness...I am dating myself here, but I just got back from my 20-year high school reunion!!! I was so nervous to go...I almost backed out at the last minute, but am so glad to have gone! It was even more fun than the 10 year. It was so neat to reconnect with many people I hadn't seen since h.s./college...very fun to share family photos, and found out that a few people live near us! I am going to try and find some h.s. pictures to scan to compare with the ones taken this weekend. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I have really fond memories of high school...it was a happy time for me. You know how some people maybe were homecoming queen, voted "most likely to succeed", etc - guess what I was voted? Yes, that's right...I was voted "Biggest Preppie"! My prize was a bottle of spray starch, and the boy that was voted biggest prep took a briefcase to class instead of a backpack...good times!!

Weekend Fun!!

We went to our city's summer festival on Friday evening. Everyone had lots of fun eating cotton candy, and going on the rides. Elizabeth has gone on the little kiddie rides before, but Andrew has always been too small - so we weren't quite sure how he'd like them...and he loved them!!!When each ride came to a stop, he cried and cried! For his first ride (the Dumbo ride!), big sister Elizabeth made sure to ride with him and hold his hand - it was so cute!

It was a beautiful day today, so after church and after lunch, I decided to wash my car. I thought it might be nice to have and extra set of hands "or two!" to help...so I filled an exta little bucket with suds and sponges, and we had lots of fun getting Mommy's car "nice and clean!"

We're looking forward to more summer fun this week - the countdown is on, only 3 weeks until school starts!!
