big girl!

I know this is a little late, but I HAVE to add this picture of Claire on her first day of school. I've already said this...I think, but she only goes one day a week to a Kid's Day Out. She was SO excited to go to "Blake's school!"

Matt had off that day and we had big plans...that fell through! We were so excited to have some alone time tho. We thought about going to breakfast and then decided that we really needed to do some shopping for the kids. The weather turned a little chilly and Andrew was in need of some warmer clothes. So, we went shopping and hooked the kids up with some clothes!

When we went to pick Claire up I went to her door to get her. Her teacher called for her, she came running out, passed me up and yelled "DADDY!!!!!!!!" I'd like to think that she didn't see me, but when I walked up to her she could have cared less. I so felt the love!! Her teacher said she had a great first day tho and that's all that really mattered to me!!

I love this picture!! She is such a mess!!

big blakers starts preK!!!

Blake started Pre-K on the 7th of September. He's been READY! I'm sure he gets a little bored now that Andrew is back in school. This year he is going to a new school. Last year he went to a preschool at our church. He enjoyed it and had a lot of friends, but I wanted him to go somewhere different from church. I wanted him to think he was actually in "school."

Claire will be going to his school one day a week. I AM SO EXCITED!! :) She didn't go this day because she had been pretty snotty. Her first actual day will be tomorrow!!

So far Blake has really enjoyed it. He is so excited to tell me about his day when I pick him up. It's funny (well, kind of annoying) but Claire HAS to wear her backpack or "packpack" as she says when we take him and pick him up. You know, it's just ONE more thing I have to deal with in the mornings. *sigh* That girl wears me out!!
