School Days!

Wow! It was sure quiet at our house today! Zach went to his first day of school as a 1st grader which means he doesn't get out till 3:35. And, Savannah went to her first day of preschool. I actually got to exercise and get ready for the day.

Zach loves school. He told me his favorite thing to do at school was to write in his journal. I was surprised I thought he would say recess was his favorite part because of the new playground at school.

Savannah had a great time at school. She got to paint a big red circle. Painting is her favorite thing to do. She painted not only the paper but on her hands, her face and a little on her dress. I thought I wouldn't have to worry about her making a mess with paints when she was at school.

It is amazing what a few hours away from the kids can do. Zach says I am a lot more fun since he has started school.

End of Summer Fun

I can't believe summer is almost over. It has gone by so fast. Zach will start 1st grade in 2 weeks and Savannah will start her 1st year of preschool. Savannah is almost completely potty trained -- with only 2 weeks to spare (they have to be potty trained to attend Challenger).

Some funny things the kids have been doing this week -

Dylan likes to flap his arms up and down while in the high chair. Some times with fists (rock) and sometimes with open hands (paper). Zach thinks it's fun to play "Rock, Paper, Scissors" with Dylan. Zach actually lets Dylan win sometimes.

Saturday was uneventful - other than we went to Smith's grocery store. That was the highlight of Savannah's day. It was the Founder's day sale there. They had balloons, free cake and face painting. She was in heaven. We started out the shopping trip with eating cake. Savy's favorite!! And we ended with face painting. She got her face painted as a pink and red kitty cat. She said to me on the way home. I like painted faces better than plain faces.

Then on Sunday as we were getting ready for church, Savannah said, "Mom, I am ready to paint my face." She wanted me to paint her face like a butterfly.
