Preppy Boy - Back to Preschool!

After patiently waiting for two weeks while Sissy had all the fun, Preppy Boy started his second year of preschool on Monday! Or, as he likes to call it, "Big-Boy School!" He will go 3 days a week, and is very excited (as you can tell from the picture! haha!) He is clearly not as excited about posing for pictures as his sister, but that's alright - at least I got one good one for the scrapbook! Last year, he went to preschool 2 days a week, and this year he'll go 3 days a week (which is pretty typical). On the way home from his first day, he was telling me all about it, and I told him that he'll get to back two more times this week! He smiled at first, but then his face fell and he said, "That's IT?!!" I explained to him that he can keep going all year - not just this week! haha!! I reminded him to do his best, play nicely with the other children, listen to his teacher, etc....

Let's just hope he doesn't actually do THIS at school!!

Crafty Post!

Alright, we are back to school and in the swing of things! Preppy Girl is in 2nd grade this year, and is apparently going to have Spanish two times a week. There was a note in her assignment book (yes, assignment book!!) saying that she needed to bring in a small 3-ring binder for Spanish. Since I am a nerd obsessed with office supplies, of course I happened to have some 3-ring binders at home with the clear pocket covers. The scrapbooker in me couldn't just send in the blank binder, so this is what I came up with! I had an extra binder and enough material to make one for Preppy Girl's little bff. Of course Preppy Hubby thinks I'm absolutely crazy, but in the next breath, said that he wishes his mother could see it because she'd get a kick out of it! See, deep down he's on board with my obsessive ways!!

I found those adorable clip-art images of the little spanish doll and maracas and thought they were so cute! Probably more age-appropriate (and Christian-school appropriate!) than the margaritas I was going to use!! HaHa!! just kidding....HaPpy BAcK to sChOoL!

2nd Grade, here we are!!

Ok, I know it's been waaayyy too long, but I'm going to start posting again!! Can you believe our Elizabeth is in 2nd grade this year? It hardly seems possible! The theme for her school this year is from Psalm 139: "I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well." This is one of my favorite verses...and could not be more appropriate! Here are some pictures of Elizabeth on her first day, sporting her new (and very preppy!) backpack. I want to be sure to add that she picked it our herself, no suggestion from mommy at all, I swear!! (Which makes me even more proud! haha!)
