Lollipop, lollipop

Lissie really enjoyed all the different "lollilops" at her party especially since she got to eat them all.

Here she is after the party still in her party hat playing with her new toys.

Mac was worn out!

Checking her temp with her new thermometer.

It was such a wonderful day. I can't believe my baby is now in her twos.

Aaaah.....relaxing

The girls LOVE the new deck. They play on it every day pushing shopping carts, strollers and just relaxing. Aren't they cute?

And I didn't even cry!

This is Abby's official first day of school. We had to drop her off and leave her there. I was not thrilled. She, of course, was fine.

Here's my big girl putting away her backpack all by herself. I wasn't allowed to help. Then she went to wash her hands and was off into her class. She looks a little nervous but she did fine.

Abby had a good first day of school. The only negative was that the boys wouldn't share the cars with her. Tell me their names and Mommy will take care of it!

Preschool Orientation Day!!!

For me this was Abby's first day of school even though I was able to stay with her for the day. Needless to say, watching my tiny baby grow up and become a preschooler is both exciting and heartbreaking. She is such a big girl but I still want to be with her all the time and be there to protect her and laugh with her. I'm going to really miss her while she's in school. Her school is great though and her teacher seems very nurturing and sweet.

Here we are getting ready for our big day. Abby requested a breakfast of waffles, sausage and banana. She barely ate any of it. That look on her face should give you a clue as to how little she likes it when I do her hair!

When we got to school, Abby got to put a sticker on her bin and hang up her backpack. She then made herself a nametag and had to draw a picture of a person. Please note the cup of crayons, full with a few of each color.....

Abby colored with every crayon in order and then organized them all neatly on the table. All the yellows together, followed by the orange, then the red and so on.

My beautiful girl in her first day of school outfit. I think she's really going to LOVE school!

Summer fun

We were cleaning up outside one day and we ended up making a huge slip n slide out of the pool cover. The girls had a blast!!!
