K3....

I know I am late. We actually skipped the first two days of school. We went to Hburg while John studied and took his boards. Glad that is over...just waiting for the results.
This is us just before leaving for the 1st day of K3. I think Caroline might be the most excited by her smile. It all happened really fast, walking him in, carrying his stuff, and trying not to tear up. I even had my camera, but didn't get a picture. I was trying not to be that mom ( cuz I remember those from my teacher days) Thomas has a great teacher and a great class. He has some of his friends from MMO out in his class. His best buds and girlfriend are next door. He gets to play with them on the playground. I asked him today if he saw his girlfriend. He said yes, on the playground. I asked him if she looked pretty.He said yes, she was wearing her "kini"(bakini). His room has dinosaurs and so he is happy. He tells me his job is to clean them up. You know like most moms, I am asking 20 questions as soon as he gets in the car. Oh, he also told me that primary colors were red, blue, and yellow...not what I was expecting, but I will take all the info I can get.



I was telling Thomas to stand against the wall and say cheese. Caroline heard me because she joined right in...but she forgot her cheese..











Our swimming skills have come along way...too bad the summer is over. However, I kind of knew this was going to happen. We finally jumped off the diving board this past weekend at my parent's house. We popped our last set of floaties, so thanks to Uncle Mark, we have 4 pairs now. He even knew the right characters to pick out. Thomas is wearing Diego in this picture. Caroline loves floaties, not because she is going to get in the water and swim, maybe just as a fashion statement? She has to have them on with her bathing suit. She even holds her arms out for you to put them on her.

We celebrated Pops birthday also. Thomas kept asking what kind of party he was going to have and was there going to be a jumpy house. So we made him a dinosaur cake to go along with his swimming party. Birthday parties are a big deal for 3 year olds. My mom also made a cheesecake, my dad's favorite. I caught Caroline eating cheesecake after she had cake and ice cream...food is her happy place!!

Tink and the Pirate

The Pirate and Tink Wrestling...she loves it.


















Tink in her favorite place. She pulls the cushion out of the chair, climbs up into the chair, stands up, and then jumps.
This little girl is a mess!!!



































The Pirate. I got these costumes at the toy sale( same place I got the rocking horses). Thomas loves wearing his around the house. If you live in the neighborhood, he might even be so kind to come to your house. He and his daddy went to the wildlife extravaganza last weekend. John called me on the way home to tell me they had a surprise. I asked if it was alive. No, it wasn't alive.....it was a real wooden sword. As you know with boys, everything can become a sword. Thomas has done pretty good with it. He memorized the 3 rules his daddy told him about the sword. 1. Do not hurt anyone. 2. Do not hurt anything. 3. Use good manners. However, the sword did get broken in half this week, but is being fixed. So, I have told you this story with no picture of the sword. But, because Thomas has a real sword now, he thinks he is a real pirate!
