first day of preschool!

Paislee & Kailia had their first day of preschool last week. I was grateful that it started after Labor Day. I didn't feel ready to send off a Kindergartner AND 2 preschoolers! It is all happening so fast. When I dropped them off at Miss Sandra's Paislee ran right inside. Kai was a little clingy, but warmed up fast. They loved their first day! They like to sit at the counter with Bella and do "their homework". Bella told Miss Sandra last year that her sisters can't sit together. Miss Sandra is taking her advice. Otherwise, I think they would fight with eachother.

 Bella is still loving Kindergarten. The second day of school, I asked her if she made any new friends. She said "Yes. A girl named Daniella was sad because she missed her mom, so I held her hand." So cute and sweet. She has such a giant heart. She also rides the bus. The first day she rode it home and thought it was so fun.

Phinn was a little lost the first week with no sisters...he wandered around looking for them. He has adjusted though, and loves snuggling with mom and reading "Blue Hat, Green Hat" "The Going to Bed Book" and "Moo, Baa, La La La!" by Sandra Boynton. We read those over and over and over and over again some more. I love this precious time I get- just Phinn and I.

 Paislee is notorious for the crazy eyes.

Our treat for the first week of school....Brownie Sundaes! Delicious. Kailia is notorious for having the craziest hair.

These kids are growing so fast. I never thought I'd see the day when I had just one at home two days a week. I am getting so much work for our photo booth business done!

back to school

It has seriously been months. It just shows how busy we have been. But I do need to make time to stop and write down what has been going on in our family. I went back and read some of the older posts and I had totally forgotten a lot of the stuff and details.

Starting from just recently...

Bella started Kindergarten! She was so ready. I was so not. But she is adapting quickly. She takes the bus to and from school, which is nice. She loves it and thinks it is so fun, so that is a bigger bonus. Her teacher is so sweet and patient. She is the perfect Kindergarten teacher. Bella has a friend from pre-school in her class, Kyra. She was really excited about that. The first day of class she came home with a Sound Box to fill up with the letter A. We had fun finding things and she brought some Airheads to share with her class. The second day of school, she looked so adorable. So I did first and second day of school pictures!

I love watching this girl grow and learn. She is beautiful on the outside and even more on the inside. She is such a great sister. I watched her help Paislee say the blessing yesterday at Grandma's house. It was such a tender little moment...."please help everyone to be kind and gentle....help everyone to be safe....."
