CPCS Open House

Monday was the open house at school.  The girls were so excited to see their classrooms and to meet their teachers.  Since it was Reygann’s first year we let her pick whose class we would check out first.  And of course she picked her own!

It didn’t take long for her to find her ‘desk’

Last year they had so many students they ran out of lockers and had to convert this closet into a place for kids to put their stuff!   Reygann is pointing to where she puts her stuff.

Kylie was being a great big sister and was giving Reygann the full tour of her new school.

Then Kylie finally got to meet her new teacher.  This is actually the teachers first year at our school, so they will be learning together!

Man has she grown (and grown!)!!  WOW!

This is the first year that she is just Kylie, not Kylie Wi.  I think she would rather be Kylie Wi again if that meant Kylie We was back in her class.  Sniff, sniff.

Ohh, I love this picture of Reygann!  It’s so yummy!!

After Kylie’s Pre-K open house we took her out for ice cream (just her, the others were at home), the next year she remembered, so after her Kindergarten open house we went back.  So of course we had to go again!

(Proof that Kylie was with us!  I guess you get less pictures when you are sitting next to the person with the camera instead of across from them!)

Reygann’s Special Date

SchoolStuff-1Tonight Reygann and I went out on our own to get stuff for school.  Truth be told we already had everything for school, so we did our own first day of school shopping.  We got a dress to wear the first day (as long as it looks ok with her backpack!), and shoes, that girl loves her shoes!  We had to try on a LOT of them, even though they weren’t the kind we needed to buy.  She even had to try on the ones for Kylie, so we could see if they might fit her!  What a silly girl.  And you know what, she really is!  She is a silly, goofy, funny girl! 

She was tickled pink to get some gum while we were out.  She promised she wouldn’t put it in her tummy with the other gum!  And she didn’t, at one point she got close though!  She gave me the ‘all clear’ after she managed to keep from swallowing it!

We had such a good time together, she told me that she wished she was my only kid (don’t they all at some point or another?).  I asked her if she would be lonely, but she assured me she wouldn’t, she would have LOTS of play dates!  And if no one could play she would just play with me! 

She also informed me (in a LOUD whisper) that boys laugh at girls because t hey think they wear silly underwear, and girls laugh at boys because they wear silly underwear!  Where do they come up with these things?

We are going to have to do this again even though it ended up being a late night… we’ll just have to start earlier next time!

Future Beautician?

Lately the girls have been into fixing their hair.  It’s cute and I don’t really mind, until we are getting ready to go somewhere and all their clips are no where to be found!  (They have gotten better at returning them now though.)  Brody has been getting in it with them too now, although I don’t have any pictures of him covered in clips… I do of the girls though, so here ya go.

Uncle Tommy’s Visit

Uncle Tommy was up this way for a few days around the 4th of July, and we finally got to get together with him again!   It has been a long time since we’ve got to hang out with him, actually this is the last time we hung out!  (Ha-haa!  Doesn’t Brody look so silly?!)

Anyways… we had Tommy over here for dinner and the kids helped me peel the potatoes.

Even Brody gave it a whirl, but he didn’t last long!

We had to get a picture with him before he left.  …Brody has changed, that’s for sure!
