kindergarten preparations

Elaina is ecstatic about the idea of starting kindergarten. Her eyes were as big as saucers at kindergarten information night. She toured a classroom and even got to go on a little bus ride! She’s going to go to pre-kindergarten summer school in June. All the girls have loved the pre-k summer program.


Elaina on her first bus ride!

She’s so excited that she couldn’t wait to get her shots. Anything that is preparation for kindergarten excites her.

She excitedly wiggled and squirmed on the table while waiting for the Dr. She’s in her favorite attire — her Superman pajamas. She wears them every night. Before our appointment, she had her Mother’s Day Out slumber party. She got to wear her favorite pjs and since her Dr. appointment was right after school, she wore her pajamas to her check up.

Grandpa D. saves a pair of jammies from each of his grandkids. On a recent overnight, he tried to keep the Superman pajamas, but after a call from Elaina he brought them back the next day. It was very funny. We all got a good laugh out of it. Elaina told him he could have them after she gets her spring pair of Superman jammies. It’s getting pretty warm here so I’ll bet we’ll be shopping soon!

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.” Eleanor Roosevelt

Mom and Jessica on Grandparent’s Day at school.

Lydia left this birthday greeting for Grandma before heading off to school! Mom stopped by this morning and got a kick out of her birthday wishes.


Auction wheels

Larry bought a new truck for Mom to take to auctions! Do you think Mom’s auction treasures will fit in there? Hehe!!

this age worms the heart

Anjelia has discovered the joy of worms! She’s been keeping a little one in a bowl full of dirt. Today she found a gasoline can and mistook it for a watering can. After “watering” my daffodils with gasoline, several giant earthworms came up out of the ground gasping for air. I rinsed them off over and over until the smell of gasoline was gone and she happily skipped away with her bowl full of worms. She sits and talks to them and tells them how beautiful they are! Silly girl!!!

A three year old child is a being who gets almost as much fun out of a fifty-six dollar set of swings as it does out of finding a small green worm.” Bill Vaughn
