I have been getting some really great recipes that I have been trying over the past couple of weeks. So far all of them have turned out great! I've also found some great cleaning and organizing tips too. And I really love all the funny stuff out there.<br /><br />So lets see, after pinning what seems like thousands of things this week, I have to share the funniest one I came across.

Spring baseball season has started up again and we have spent 3-4 nights a week up at the fields for practice. Gavin's team has been splitting up their practices between the batting cages and the fields. Gavin moved up to the Minors this year so he has been adjusting to playing with older kids who are a little more experienced than him.</div><div> </div><div>Last Friday we had the opening ceremonies out at the fields. All the divisions were out there in full uniform and got to be introduced on the main field. After the ceremony, we had some dinner which was catered by a local BBQ place and also Chick-fil-A. Katelyn got to high five the Chick-fil-A cow and also the girl cow!</div></div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-k10LbsAotf06WPGcCp7nyDZCQTNxj0UKOnJPSpHVB5oI1VfEMAG55d9xQNxc7Ax_ziPEt3TbhyJqpi9oNw85LB807tlnRMWDF3S920rNAXxNYuMMF4SdKQ8fnMLNTg_rWTu9LWy0Gfw/s1600/Feb2012+003.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 300px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716177115742235410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-k10LbsAotf06WPGcCp7nyDZCQTNxj0UKOnJPSpHVB5oI1VfEMAG55d9xQNxc7Ax_ziPEt3TbhyJqpi9oNw85LB807tlnRMWDF3S920rNAXxNYuMMF4SdKQ8fnMLNTg_rWTu9LWy0Gfw/s400/Feb2012+003.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKbC6iaPGkBwNPGhs9Jg7NOcTQbJsprLpK-a1q1c9hmNLKMBRHcRh7iV7N3315qvjReFK_uKKhaTT0zpgfftBfl6mGBMqHzcn_S9DW9sJQVL1qdw4J2nmGmxu4e-CmdBRbqoapucUGNw/s1600/Feb2012+002.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 300px; height: 400px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5716177090242465362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUKbC6iaPGkBwNPGhs9Jg7NOcTQbJsprLpK-a1q1c9hmNLKMBRHcRh7iV7N3315qvjReFK_uKKhaTT0zpgfftBfl6mGBMqHzcn_S9DW9sJQVL1qdw4J2nmGmxu4e-CmdBRbqoapucUGNw/s400/Feb2012+002.jpg" /></a></div><div>We had our first game last Saturday, another one last Tuesday night, and our 3rd game was just this past Thursday night.

<br /></i></div><div>So cute and funny on so many levels! I am always surprised when Gavin or Katelyn thinks I'm old. I don't feel old but I guess in their young minds I am over the hill. </div><div>
<br /></div><div><i>Very Old. Sheesh Katelyn!! Thanks!!</i></div><div><i>
<br /></i></div><div>But to the cuteness....That is the cutest-make-my-heart-all-fuzzy question!!</div><div>
<br /></div><div>I told her Danyelle will be her sister always and forever.</div><div>

I was just a teensy bit nervous about Katelyn being on her own horse, but she did great. Katelyn was put on a horse named Penny and she was tied to the lead horse. She LOVED it!

So, in honor of that wonderful number...here are 9 things about Gavin.<div><br /></div><div>1) Gavin wants to be a veterinarian when he grows up. He absolutely loves animals. All animals. When we caught a crab on the beach recently I joked we were taking him home for dinner. The look on Gavin's face was heartbreaking and he insisted we throw him back in the ocean.</div><div><br /></div><div>2) No big surprise to anyone here, but Gavin loves to play the XBox. His favorite things to play are LeftForDead, Call Of Duty, any sports game and Dance Central. I'll have to get a video of him dancing!</div><div><br /></div><div>3) His favorite shows are Dragon Ball Z, Beyblade, Spongebob, and Fairly Oddparents.</div><div><br /></div><div>4) He is NOT a patient person. At all. He hates waiting and becomes QUITE irritable.</div><div><br /></div><div>5) Gavin has an outstanding imagination. He can play for hours all by himself with some of his toys. He loves action figures (spiderman, star wars, green lantern) and creates some pretty scary battles between them. Sound effects and everything.</div><div><br /></div><div>6) He is NOT a picky eater. He will eat anything and everything. Sushi, spicy things, crab legs, asparagus, and even calamari. I just have to say- Hey Gavin try this...and he will. I love that about him!</div><div><br /></div><div>7) This past season Gavin took ice skating lessons for 8 weeks. This September he wants to start hockey lessons. </div><div><br /></div><div>8) Gavin is a little obsessed with zombies. He watches <a href="http://www.amctv.com/shows/the-walking-dead">The Walking Dead</a> with me. He loves to find all sorts of zombie moves on Netflix too.</div><div><br /></div><div>9) Even though he is growing up, every so often he will still sit and snuggle with me. Its usually late at night when hes tired, but hey, I'll take it!</div><div><br /></div><div>Happy 9th Birthday Gavin!! I love you, Mommy</div>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211657240546720973.post-4300752522915049462011-06-15T09:00:00.000-04:002011-06-15T09:00:15.745-04:00Wordless Wednesday ~ Beach Day<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCHxq2fEtOZ8o7i51a8BwWNxi2mJjVY0i0uTkKYGgUHmoA7ZrPO5H0NhhNNnmUdJ9f7X9dw55u3tRIZa0_3HusiomOrS3LnTmI-Qwoe4NCedSnW79_VilLrKFUnaCG82OPluYqOszOWc8/s1600/june2011+024.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

She was having trouble breathing and her cough was just horrible. So we started off the day bright and early with a breathing treatment at 7am. My poor girl laid on the couch all day so sad that she was sick.<br /><br />I think by 11PM we were at a total of 4 breathing treatments and her chest was FINALLY clearing up. Nothing like breathing problems to make me worry sick all day long. And I truly mean ALL.DAY.LONG.<br /><br /><br />BUT---by Sunday when she woke up, Katelyn was 100% better. Her cough was all gone and her energy was back. And to thank me for all of my loving care the day before Katelyn treated me to a fashion show. I'm not sure what kind of fashion she thinks this is, but lets go with it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzWqgsJ3-5wamOJwBvaJR7fX5Ew8v7JYLXQwcpMY_dztE4JDwWBSfoHrNiSs-_L_yXl0Xk5A0jKnQCCrUaowOcYJIkq7tDidTLFhuk2TnsA0XLxPEYptPVKtWbE0fXPMvJGSq4vABn1Q/s1600/feb2011+004-1.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578866802465220834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFzWqgsJ3-5wamOJwBvaJR7fX5Ew8v7JYLXQwcpMY_dztE4JDwWBSfoHrNiSs-_L_yXl0Xk5A0jKnQCCrUaowOcYJIkq7tDidTLFhuk2TnsA0XLxPEYptPVKtWbE0fXPMvJGSq4vABn1Q/s400/feb2011+004-1.JPG" /></a> And she's really got the pose down for the runway.

She woke up every morning last week and would say "Is this my field trip day?" And every day she would remind Gavin that she would be going on a field trip with her class. Oh yes, she was super excited.<br /><br />We went to the <a href="http://www.vanwezel.org/">Van Wezel</a> hall in downtown right on the water. We saw a live performance of Harold and the Purple Crayon.<br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsvT6Zarm0f7PzzZXhiht_s2Yyn_bXUUF08hRTMcBmfNfmtvKoK6jXM3-F7dmeBokF0oLD3uQyatCzSJkuJt0_PjZhgpKbMCj2vX9NAPChEheexpue8L3TQ5VHdGrQHlo2FOufELNJ8w/s1600/harold.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 228px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540969741501777858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKsvT6Zarm0f7PzzZXhiht_s2Yyn_bXUUF08hRTMcBmfNfmtvKoK6jXM3-F7dmeBokF0oLD3uQyatCzSJkuJt0_PjZhgpKbMCj2vX9NAPChEheexpue8L3TQ5VHdGrQHlo2FOufELNJ8w/s400/harold.jpg" /></a><br />When we first got there we all waited outside for the everyone to get there and then all walked in to our seats. Katelyn was just beside herself seeing all of her friends outside of school!! Our seats were in the 3rd row right in the center so we could see the stage perfectly.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibDkZ94VyPFmOuHTtsDupFSiIkmoIv_wFzpweO3Y9L11ZPfcDG3wxFa0nMRwnO0vSLPQivZADBWSA7y9dzoU8jrkhjwMpeCDXiZYPED2aXrHZ80HU9ZaUbxMyvMDUiCsn0NafM1qn7FTI/s1600/nov2010+334.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540970366448749794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibDkZ94VyPFmOuHTtsDupFSiIkmoIv_wFzpweO3Y9L11ZPfcDG3wxFa0nMRwnO0vSLPQivZADBWSA7y9dzoU8jrkhjwMpeCDXiZYPED2aXrHZ80HU9ZaUbxMyvMDUiCsn0NafM1qn7FTI/s400/nov2010+334.JPG" /></a> The play was really cute and Katelyn laughed the whole time.

In it was her "All About Me" paper. It has her name on it and her likes and dislikes. <br /><br />Katelyn told the teacher that her "likes" were: crayons, pigs(?), flamingos, playing, riding her bike, and trees.<br /><br />Her one and only dislike was--- Transformers.<br /><br />And when I dropped her off at school this morning her regular teacher was not there. She had a sub teacher taking over the rest of the week and I was told her teacher is at home sick and would be back next week. And I'm pretty sure that is what was told to all the kids too because when she got in the car today, Katelyn said:<br /><br />Mom, did you know teachers have homes?<br /><br />And I said- Yes, I did know that, why?<br /><br />Katelyn said: I didn't know they had homes to go to. I thought they lived at the school.<br /><br />Yes, her mind was BLOWN that teachers don't live at school!!Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211657240546720973.post-58452990602606359442010-09-18T08:00:00.000-04:002010-09-18T08:00:05.289-04:00Back To School BookGavin brought home his Back To School Booklet he made the first couple days of school. Basically fill in the blank answers about himself and what he did this summer.<br /><br />Here are some Q & A's<br /><br />My favorite thing about school is: lunch and recess<br />My favorite game is: Xbox<br />My favorite thing to do is: play Xbox ( lovely, what does the teacher think lol )<br />The best thing about this summer was: playing with my toys<br />One thing I love to do in the summer that I cant do at school is: play video games<br /><br />(are we seeing a pattern here?)<br /><br />The best thing about me is: I am nice<br />I really like to: run<br />If I could have one wish, I would wish: that I could drive<br />I think this will be a good school year because: we have recess<br /><br />So, what I take away from this little book is my kid likes the Xbox and recess. And I'm sure the teacher knows now too.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211657240546720973.post-14846943109706819492010-09-16T16:20:00.004-04:002010-09-16T17:34:27.455-04:00Is Bruce A Name?Yesterday Katelyn came up to me and asked "Mama, is Bruce a real name?"<br /><br /><br />I laughed and said "Yes Bruce is a real name."<br /><br /><br />Katelyn said "Oh, well who has the name Bruce?"<br /><br /><br />And I said, "Sharks."<br /><br /><br />I'm sorry, it was the first thing I thought of. But its the truth, sharks are named Bruce. You know, like this one:<br /><br /><p><br /></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2Q4GffOQuy6DZq02NOyhLhKwUHdkxnRd_TtQJkaH3lq9CBZPNYkVUlzG6MgezuoIV7qMAPiImA9P27_NPQ710GCZsZu_rUnOnniB0SeIop7LMDAd0chqO2nmra7rBbVTMq5Ag2zRbSI/s1600/bruce.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 184px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 273px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517616752873633378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl2Q4GffOQuy6DZq02NOyhLhKwUHdkxnRd_TtQJkaH3lq9CBZPNYkVUlzG6MgezuoIV7qMAPiImA9P27_NPQ710GCZsZu_rUnOnniB0SeIop7LMDAd0chqO2nmra7rBbVTMq5Ag2zRbSI/s400/bruce.jpg" /></a> But when I answered her question I really had this Bruce in mind: </p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkc6jMI-U0ZoZTolxJNPJulDzK6IrYPcpNS5ltdThS3JhRPlC4AeBp4z-bpn3Yo6tJwh-h9grvipuMrmogSbT1LpwzZwAGkomF50oEjU7fxH7GbYix38k27p5QMmR2DdBmjj-2RgzLZgw/s1600/bruce2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 302px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 167px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517617240208178226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkc6jMI-U0ZoZTolxJNPJulDzK6IrYPcpNS5ltdThS3JhRPlC4AeBp4z-bpn3Yo6tJwh-h9grvipuMrmogSbT1LpwzZwAGkomF50oEjU7fxH7GbYix38k27p5QMmR2DdBmjj-2RgzLZgw/s400/bruce2.jpg" /></a><br />My favorite scene from one of my favorite movies, JAWS. Poor Capt. Quint getting eaten. And since I know that the cast and crew gave the shark the nickname Bruce while they were filming, of course "sharks' were my first answer when Katelyn asked who was named Bruce.</p><br /><p>But then I realized that I should have never brought up sharks when it started a whole new discussion with my 4-year-old.</p><br /><p>"Where do sharks live?'</p><br /><p>"In the ocean." I told Katelyn.</p><br /><p>Her eyes widened with horror. And then she said," Are you joking mommy? Please say you are joking."</p><br /><p>I couldnt even answer her because I was laughing hysterically at the poor girl. What kind of mommy am I? First I tell her sharks are named Bruce and then I tell her that sharks live in the ocean. </p><br /><p>You know, the ocean that we live a couple of miles from. The ocean that Katelyn loves to play and swim in. The ocean that she now knows is filled with sharks named Bruce.</p><br /><p>And since she now has her hands on my shoulders pleading with me to tell her I was just making a big joke out of where sharks live, I told her that, yes, I was only joking. I have no idea where sharks live. She should just ask Daddy when he gets home. </p>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211657240546720973.post-34091777542571445652010-08-24T21:44:00.004-04:002010-08-24T22:14:41.148-04:004 Years ~ Then & Now ~ Happy Birthday Katelyn<p></p>I just tucked Katelyn into bed for the last time as a 3-year-old. Tomorrow when she wakes up she will be 4.<br /><br /><em><strong>4???</strong> </em>I don't even know where the time has gone.

A beautiful newborn who immediately slept through the night and hardly ever cried. She watched the world in amazement with her beautiful eyes. She was content to just let you hold her and smother her with kisses.</p><p>Today I have a loud, wild, little girl. She is adventurous and knows what she wants. And if she doesn't get it, she will let you know at the top of her lungs. She puts her big brother in his place quite often. She is on the go from the minute she wakes up and doesn't stop moving all day long. Quite the change from my quiet little newborn. </p><p></p><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikG_pNw4pulNCIX3qaS1EzUZpn-GqWykf0o1ufKzjv9l4MQnoBuzw_nAH5ws-u8pSzuzEvXXrigADZW8seR0wkMtbADBxDkmhPvScH4MQCu6fm7TLVRWOAhGfdu8EKL4DX5nwtb4dY7Tc/s1600/July2010+101.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164780079619858" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikG_pNw4pulNCIX3qaS1EzUZpn-GqWykf0o1ufKzjv9l4MQnoBuzw_nAH5ws-u8pSzuzEvXXrigADZW8seR0wkMtbADBxDkmhPvScH4MQCu6fm7TLVRWOAhGfdu8EKL4DX5nwtb4dY7Tc/s400/July2010+101.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Happy Birthday my darling Katelyn!!<br /><br /><br /><p></p>Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211657240546720973.post-18818742811091526962010-08-23T21:28:00.007-04:002010-08-23T21:58:09.450-04:00First Day Of School 2010Today was back to school day for Gavin and Katelyn. Katelyn woke up bright and early and was super excited. Gavin woke up grudgingly and was super cranky. 2 different kids and 2 different attitudes about school.<br /><br />This morning was dark and rainy as we were getting ready for school. Our first day of school pictures had to be taken in the house this year.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguifgIFIRiCfZrK43sSXrnBde8BDOkUjnSdueAH9egDJJaGNDelP__AsTOGJ-HlUsX6xuuvzeZbffe2oalWYOLDCnk4SO2wKguEQVAoZMlt-WgAtvFYLVGPF5z6thYhG4xDBTvQwpC7aY/s1600/August2010+003.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508785028226174514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguifgIFIRiCfZrK43sSXrnBde8BDOkUjnSdueAH9egDJJaGNDelP__AsTOGJ-HlUsX6xuuvzeZbffe2oalWYOLDCnk4SO2wKguEQVAoZMlt-WgAtvFYLVGPF5z6thYhG4xDBTvQwpC7aY/s400/August2010+003.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJZ1jZNU_GBPRWlVziOfGK_eQvl2_ZNXaV8rVFDTpO3htZEnghQKTZsQ9tBniPYWRuhO7eo2gQXKaKiNVlFhMBRGaITd39rjn55gdnXcENDcpQFZbKjziC6qIPiPoaBywJxQ5LAsmu1Q/s1600/August2010+002.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508785019843055122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLJZ1jZNU_GBPRWlVziOfGK_eQvl2_ZNXaV8rVFDTpO3htZEnghQKTZsQ9tBniPYWRuhO7eo2gQXKaKiNVlFhMBRGaITd39rjn55gdnXcENDcpQFZbKjziC6qIPiPoaBywJxQ5LAsmu1Q/s400/August2010+002.JPG" /></a> When we got to Gavin's school it was still pouring.

The first day for her Pre-K class was a meet and greet and started at 10. It was still raining at the time we had to leave so Katelyn's first day of school pictures were taken inside also. And, she had quite the time posing for them!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMcXrh3dqpOqTXr8fwKBmaU4yWkyssWP89v5yU5z6ylJA54A5U2Tz3whc27PF3qUm_SN6w0krUs1n3RhnqAuFiSIgkoXpNxpu9It2SmNTOTTr6rmsw1Pf9L-QC5G1QTREo8i_ikdb5FD4/s1600/August2010+011.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787116331620162" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMcXrh3dqpOqTXr8fwKBmaU4yWkyssWP89v5yU5z6ylJA54A5U2Tz3whc27PF3qUm_SN6w0krUs1n3RhnqAuFiSIgkoXpNxpu9It2SmNTOTTr6rmsw1Pf9L-QC5G1QTREo8i_ikdb5FD4/s400/August2010+011.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQW1tNsEcXQsud2EFYf29Xs2pC97-qS7dH4pEhYbcgbaLRwb3-yAN-XhDwmbySEInMQiZ8SaSwjKL8DqaBxj5_5pxuvS_-UmjIWFI6AXnuA-rtod-Iey6r0LX9TKrpP8JjabaK5nLX8jw/s1600/August2010+008.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787113887078114" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQW1tNsEcXQsud2EFYf29Xs2pC97-qS7dH4pEhYbcgbaLRwb3-yAN-XhDwmbySEInMQiZ8SaSwjKL8DqaBxj5_5pxuvS_-UmjIWFI6AXnuA-rtod-Iey6r0LX9TKrpP8JjabaK5nLX8jw/s400/August2010+008.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7JxxeLgqWaCiHHng4oOcNX7Aokbv__p7vUv0HuYH9HONsx5oM7Ztm_82nIZw2JxP9jdZM5zjnQcIV84zjwlOk422YerTfAY_ddhcn8SmbWWfPIKHttc4TVS_p6lNhjsfaXK1TPwx2eU/s1600/August2010+009.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787100457054130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB7JxxeLgqWaCiHHng4oOcNX7Aokbv__p7vUv0HuYH9HONsx5oM7Ztm_82nIZw2JxP9jdZM5zjnQcIV84zjwlOk422YerTfAY_ddhcn8SmbWWfPIKHttc4TVS_p6lNhjsfaXK1TPwx2eU/s400/August2010+009.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwVmKY4k_2box3kyY5H3lHhGcvliIc68kDp4wyDyADEAxvZlUG_L1Jx7G4G-xNYYW3b3wZMilmJstP5GgEdtXGUDHeVAXLDIb7Gch-rRUMJsR5rOLDy1mBIv1V5CW6FPeJTQxY0LVOnA0/s1600/August2010+010.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787091083491378" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwVmKY4k_2box3kyY5H3lHhGcvliIc68kDp4wyDyADEAxvZlUG_L1Jx7G4G-xNYYW3b3wZMilmJstP5GgEdtXGUDHeVAXLDIb7Gch-rRUMJsR5rOLDy1mBIv1V5CW6FPeJTQxY0LVOnA0/s400/August2010+010.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_ov54PL4p3hMAkx0A57xSKylXbqiRH-xNFwxb7P_M04byxJR2gP0rkOo9o3hZVqpnyVKdph_OMgtgRA7UBv7LXI9CMEBBbOkOzvr3v8c4Vkh3NYe04nMdj40H_aoou05cTsf4R6_fyg/s1600/August2010+013.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787085344973970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM_ov54PL4p3hMAkx0A57xSKylXbqiRH-xNFwxb7P_M04byxJR2gP0rkOo9o3hZVqpnyVKdph_OMgtgRA7UBv7LXI9CMEBBbOkOzvr3v8c4Vkh3NYe04nMdj40H_aoou05cTsf4R6_fyg/s400/August2010+013.JPG" /></a><br />Once we got to her school she got to meet her 2 teachers. After introductions were made she wasted no time heading over to the kitchen area to play with a couple of other little girls. We stayed for a little over an hour. She got to check out the class fish tank and find her cubby. She colored on same paper and played with the doll house too.</div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9KNTruaEb-_xW72Ph7VcdNvSSIPnw06kVFSl3qlXLKMwsrvUmK6N0S8fwEh541kxr1uTsH0vf5WHxR0TRzvEcTdUBMxd2zLqvxtBfb6mW3kycJy0468YgIoeVzJDYzXMp0hdy2ybbVo/s1600/August2010+016.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787962452757618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr9KNTruaEb-_xW72Ph7VcdNvSSIPnw06kVFSl3qlXLKMwsrvUmK6N0S8fwEh541kxr1uTsH0vf5WHxR0TRzvEcTdUBMxd2zLqvxtBfb6mW3kycJy0468YgIoeVzJDYzXMp0hdy2ybbVo/s400/August2010+016.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfA2QA7K7yQGrgJ6xUEzQ-rkW0d-IY3R0o9QrSQfDbK5nxK5eb7yEwRlvIA4yFcM4BFuJ3eNRBQYVGD0GoPjBcv10oKMHwe83iCOWfk_mZHTQ9Kzg23zsQBcgmCMPz6q92MXvxN3XfUU/s1600/August2010+017.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787961734707490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxfA2QA7K7yQGrgJ6xUEzQ-rkW0d-IY3R0o9QrSQfDbK5nxK5eb7yEwRlvIA4yFcM4BFuJ3eNRBQYVGD0GoPjBcv10oKMHwe83iCOWfk_mZHTQ9Kzg23zsQBcgmCMPz6q92MXvxN3XfUU/s400/August2010+017.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIa30apz0ONQ1doamYNthIAIZOQOTrW4x2EUug5ymeLzRt_tCQ-CMqz57g6VPF0FHycKSnLLpKWI1F5GPMi1LtKMXcKoUrQ4uEehfvRhuajnjyemAoTEKf0FGh78FT0LeuKm7QCWK9QGg/s1600/August2010+019.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508787952493745618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIa30apz0ONQ1doamYNthIAIZOQOTrW4x2EUug5ymeLzRt_tCQ-CMqz57g6VPF0FHycKSnLLpKWI1F5GPMi1LtKMXcKoUrQ4uEehfvRhuajnjyemAoTEKf0FGh78FT0LeuKm7QCWK9QGg/s400/August2010+019.JPG" /></a><br />When it came time to leave I had one mad little girl on my hands.

Can I get a high five from someone???<br /><br />Gavin is starting 3rd grade and Katelyn will be in Pre-K from 9-12 Monday thru Friday. Katelyn is more than excited. She cannot wait to meet new friends and play on the playground. She did tell Danyelle yesterday that she was a little nervous because she doesn't know her ABC's all the way yet. Danyelle told her the teacher will teach her and not to worry.<br /><br />Gavin could care less about going back to school. We went to his meet and greet Friday afternoon to see his new classroom and meet his teacher. His desk was all set up with his name and schoolbooks on it. As we left Danyelle asked him what his favorite part of his new class was and he said it was that his desk was by the air conditioner.<br /><br />Just a little while longer until baths and bedtime tonight. No more staying up late and sleeping in for these kids ( and me too lol ). And I have school lunches to make for the week tonight also. And then I better get some sleep too for my early wake up call.Melissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17497642612648877950noreply@blogger.com0
