Luke's 3rd year of Preschool

After much consideration and a lot of worry. Jamie and I decided to hold Luke back from Kindergarten. He was very excited about another year of preschool so we felt good about it. He just was not ready for elementary school and we feel he will do better if he waits until next year. Ryan started his preschool on Monday and today was Luke's first day.For having all three kids at school I am busy. I feel like I live in my car running around town! Here are a few pictures of Luke on his first day....

Ryan started preschool today!

Well, the day has come! My baby started preschool. I did not cry! He was sooo excited. He is going to Lukes old school and he has the same teacher. We are very excited about that because she is a exellent teacher, he loves her and he is familiar with the classroom. Jamie dropped him off and he said he would not even hold his hand because he wanted to hold onto the straps on his backpack. He said he walked right in with a HUGE smile on his face. Here are some pictures from this morning of him. There is also one of Aubree because she looked cute this morning.

Date Night

Tonight Jamie and I went on a much needed date. He took me out to dinner and then to see "The Time Travelers Wife". Must see good old crying chick flick. I adore Jamie because he has not seen GI Joe yet and he sacrificed and let me pick the movie. May seem so little to others but it meant a lot to me.

Go,Go,Go....

SLEEP!

Aubree is in 2nd grade!

Aubree started 2nd grade this year. She has been so excited the past week to go back to school and then last night she cried her eyes out and asked me to home school her. She finally fell asleep and woke up feeling better. I met her for lunch today and she is doing great. I knew she would be okay... she is a lot like me when it comes to change... new class= scary anything new=scary! I know she will have a great year just like last year. She is growing up way to fast for me!

Crazy little Luke

Last week this was Luke's outfit of choice. He wanted to wear it every place we went. I made his take off the handkerchief around his mouth in fear people would think he was going to rob them...




He also insisted on bringing a sock puppet and talking to it in public. I let him bring it to Jamie's softball game so he could feel my pain of walking around with a strange little 5 year old...




Luke we love you so much! We know this little phase will end and you will not have all these crazy ideas. You continue to make us laugh and make our home just a bit brighter. You ROCK Luke!

Mattress Surfing

Aubree had a friend spend the night last week. We took a extra mattress we had in the basement and put it in the living area for her to sleep on. The next morning as we were cleaning up I remembered a fun thing my sisters and I did when Mom and Dad were not home. We would get our mattresses and fly down the stairs. So I jumped on the mattress and flew down our basement stairs. The kids went crazy and we have been doing it for days now. It is fun and we have not had any broken bones yet! I found a few grey hairs the other day so mattress surfing keeps me feeling young!
