Catching up!

Catching up from the last two weeks....

 

Jade seems to really enjoy dance class this year:

 

 

Jeff will probably be mad I took this picture- and even more mad that I posted it... but he made a smoothie, and had a bit of a malfunction... he attempted not letting it go to waste by sucking up what spilled.

So... Brooke has a crush on a boy at school. His name is Danny. She drew this picture for him and was really excited to give it to him. He gave it back to her and told her to put it back in her backpack. She was crushed.

Also, is it normal for my 5 year old to be googley-eyed over boys ALREADY?!

I'm having so much fun doing Jade's hair. She sits still and actually lets me try things on her. It will be so great once it thickens up a little and I can do more.

Excited to go to school!

Bubble wrap is so much fun!

 

Brooke's school had "college week" last week at school. On Monday it was wear a college hat or funny hat day. Brooke was supposed to wear a Where's Waldo hat we found laying around, but she left it on her bed by accident.





Tuesday was  wear your running shoes day

Wednesday Brooke wore her Longhorns Jersey- it was wear your favorite college team day

Thursday all the kids were asked to wear the colors of the college their teacher went to. Brooke's teacher went to Abilene Christian, and their colors are purple and white.

Friday was wear blue day (school color). Brooke wore her school t-shirt that day. She really looks forward to taking part of all the fun events at school.

 

Thursday I took this picture of Avery. In the picture you can see the red mark on her eye. Her eye was also black and blue. This happened on Tuesday. I met the two other room moms for Brooke's class at McDonalds to talk about classroom things. While Avery was playing in the play place, she fell off a low step and hurt herself. As if that wasn't bad enough- Thursday she was climbing up on the ledge/window seat in our breakfast nook to look outside at Jeff who was cutting the lawn. As I turned the corner, I saw her slip and fall- I ran over and she was holding her chin and there was blood on the floor. She split her chin. I grabbed her and a paper towel and ran out to Jeff. We loaded everyone in the van and went to the ER. It was an awful awful experience. The cut wasn't deep enough for stitches, so they glued it. Luckily the cut is under her chin, so the scar shouldn't be too visible unless she tilts her head back. I'm sick to my stomach over it still.

Playing outside...



Now that the weather is cooling down, I think we will finally get to use our backyard more. This summer was brutal, we barely went outside. In the past two days, we spent more time outside on the play set then we did all summer! I'm super thankful to have this play set though, we are going to use it a ton in the next few months!
