Carrie has happily completed her first week of Pre-K, and she loves it! She goes Mon-Fri from 8:30-11:30. I think she was dissappointed that she couldn't go on Saturday, but Mom was missing her terribly by then! Doesn't she look grown up?
Its just too hot to play outside during the day in Florida. So here they are after begging to go outside for a few minutes before bedtime!
Mimi came to visit this summer!
Gran took us to the Sesame Street Exhibit at the Atlanta Children's Museum and we had a blast!
Don't ask me why Carrie is wearing flannel pajamas in Florida in August! I don't begin to try to fathom the reasoning of a four-year-old!
Ethan smeared Vasoline all over his entire head. Not just a little bit either, about 1/4 of the whole container. It took washing it with Dawn dishwashing soap 8 times to cut the grease! And no, he didn't lie there peacefully in patiently wait while I shampooed and shampooed and shampooed and shampooed ...
I'm nominating this one for the 'Cutest Curl Award'!
For those of you who used to play dress-up once upon a time... do you remember feeling this incredibly beautiful?!
And for those of you who love chocolate...have you EVER loved it quite this much?!
I know I've been posting more Carrie stuff lately, and I don't mean to neglect the boy, but honestly, he's a LOT harder to catch! So here are a few cute Ethan videos. (And you'll notice that one of them is taken while he's strapped into a swing!) Enjoy!
Carrie got a really cute book for her birthday. She already has it mostly memorized so that she can read it to me. The story is about a little girl, Nancy, who loves to be fancy. She loves to dress up and make everything fancy. In this story, she tries to make her plain family fancy too. The video is 5 minutes long, but really cute to hear in her sweet little voice.
So please enjoy, "Fancy Nancy" by Jane O'Connor, presented by Miss Carrie Louise McNeil.
The butterfly birthday party was a huge success. No tantrums, no spills, no fire ants! The kids each got to pick a bug tatoo. Then they got to decorate a butterfly-shaped sugar cookie with colored icing, M&Ms, and sprinkles. They played outside and pinata was really fun (I highly recommend the pull-string type - no baseball bats required!) And the cake turned out cuter than I expected.
I asked her afterwards if she liked her party and she said, "Mom, I loved it!!!" So I asked her what her favorite part was and she said, "The cake and the pinata, and playing, and decorating the butterflies!" I think she had a great time!
Well, I took some time this afternoon and took a little walk down memory lane. It really is amazing to see the change as she has grown in size and maturity through the last 4 years. So many little memories. I'm so thankful for photos that keep those memories from just slipping away forever past my sleep deprived, fuzzy brain.
Happy Birthday Lady Bug! I love you!
