Love the Dollar Store!

You gotta love the dollar store for there cheap entertainment. The kids found these and I said "Why not?"

Back to School

Mason is in VPK this year and Sydney will be going to preschool everyday! Yea!!! They were both thrilled and counting down the days until school. They had new clothes and were ready super early this morning!

First Conversation of the Day- 8/27/2009

Mason opens Sydney's door to greet her as the morning starts and he says:

M- "Sydney, guess what!?"
S- "What Mason?"
M- "I saw a bat in the backyard!"
S- "You did. That's amazing, Mason!"
M- "Yeah and it was black!"
S- "Ooooh. That's great, Mason!"

Made my heart melt. The things they say and with a whole lot of inflection in there voice....it's precious!

School's going to start soon!

Today the kids got postcards in the mail for their orientation day at preschool. Mason asked what we are going to do and I explained that this is just a day to meet his new teachers and see what he needs to be ready for school. He then tells me...."I think I know what they need. They need to give me a hug because they missed me." I said "You are exactly right." Love these moments. Too bad I keep forgetting to get on here to record each and every one of them. But at least I remembered this one.

Boogie Boards!

Annie and Pop pop came up and brought their boogie boards. The kids had a blast! We spent the whole weekend at the beach and the boards were a hit. I couldn't believe it but we even got Sydney on it a couple of waves. She shouted out her usual "yeehaw!" Too much fun!

Tired of talking

So this morning on the way to school, Mason is doing his usual ask a thousand "why" questions about anything you can think of. Well after about the 20th question, he says "Oh, I'm getting tired of all this talking." Ha, ha. It was very quiet the rest of the way...too funny not to share.

Christmas Program 2008

The kids were both in a Christmas program at their school. Mason was part of the angel rhythm band and Sydney was a sheep who came down the center aisle saying "baa, baa, baa." Mason loved hearing the true Christmas story and told me he liked the story about Baby Jesus. Here it is in February and I still occasionally hear Sydney in the back seat singing "We wish you a Merry Christmas." Ha, ha.
