Only 5 Left
I only have 5 diapers left in the house. So all day today I have had it in my head that I would be going to Target tomorrow to pick up some more.
And then I had a crazy thought.......Don't buy anymore diapers- start potty training now. Ugh. The thought of it terrifies me. But it has to be done I guess lol. When Katelyn starts pre-school again in August she HAS to be potty trained for the class she is in, no exceptions. I was going to wait until closer to August , but I don't think the timing will work out. We are going on our summer vacation the last week of July into the first week of August. Now I don't think I will have enough time to do it after we get back from vacation and I don't want to rush it.
So, wish me luck- I am headed into potty training land tomorrow. Someone help me now with this stubborn little girl!

For years Dennis Shore has thrilled readers with his spooky bestselling novels. Now a widower, Dennis is finally alone in his house, his daughter attending college out of state. When he's stricken by a paralyzing case of writer's block and a looming deadline, Dennis becomes desperate. Against better judgment, he claims someone else's writing as his own, accepting undeserved accolades for the stolen work. He thinks he's gotten away with it . . . until he's greeted by a young man named Cillian Reed--the true author of the stolen manuscript.What begins as a minor case of harassment quickly spirals out of control. As Cillian's threats escalate, Dennis finds himself on the brink of losing his career, his sanity, and even his life. The horror he's spent years writing about has arrived on his doorstep, and Dennis has nowhere to run.

Haley
Haley is here for the weekend again since my brother is away at National Guard. We love when Haley gets to stay with us for the weekend. She's a good dog and besides her size, you would never even know she is here.

Good-Bye 1st Grade
Last Day Of School ~ June 1st 2009
This morning Gavin was super excited for the last day of school. He said he is looking forward to going to the beach this summer and staying up late watching movies. On the way to school he asked me if we could go through a car wash after I pick him up today. Um, Ok?!?! I guess a car wash is the icing on the cake today. And as of 12:40 this afternoon, I officially have a 2nd grader!
Congratulations Gavin!!

Katelyn's Last Day Of School
Last Day Of School May 2009
Katelyn's last day of pre-school was this past Friday. Her class spend the morning at the park for a good-bye picnic. All the kids, parents, and teachers were there.
Katelyn had a blast playing in the water tables with her friends.
She had fun on the playground too.
After the playground the class gathered for their picnic lunch. Then it was time for some dancing, which is Katelyn's favorite.
All the kids got presents and goody bags from the teachers. Katelyn talked hers over with Lance.
Then posed for some good-bye pictures with Abbe, Lance, and Ella. And gave a good-bye hug to Amelia.
Katelyn absolutely loved going to school this year. She only went 2 days a week but she would have been happy going all 5 days a week. She loved all her friends and talked about them for hours after she got home. When I would pick her up from school she would tell me all about her day. What toys she played with, who she sat next to at snack time, and what she had for a snack. She would fill me in on who was bad that day or if someone got hurt on the playground. She loved to draw pictures and paint. And of course she loves to sing and dance at school. Next year I have her signed up for 3 days a week for school and I'm sure most of the kids she goes with now with move up to that class too.
