Meet the Teacher 2011-2012

This morning was "Meet the Teacher" at C&H's school. Even though they went to the summer program and actually 'know' the teachers, we decided to go anyways. Hadley asks pretty much everyday if she can go to school today and is totally devastated when I say, 'school isn't open today'. So I knew they would be so excited! It is amazing how much they have changed since this time last year! I remember them both having total meltdowns last year because they weren't getting to stay at school without Mommy! This year I had a little talk with them before we went in and told them that they wouldn't be eating lunch at school, or napping at school today. That we were gonna go play for a little while and see their teachers and friends and then leave and that they couldn't throw a fit or we wouldn't be allowed to come back! (haha, you gotta do what you gotta do!!) Well, it worked like a charm! They whined a little bit, but I reminded them what we talked about and all was good! I just bragged on them and what big kids they have become and we even went and got a slushie since they did so good! We are all so excited about this year and all they get to do! Just look at our BIG kids! I must say...they were two of the cutest kids there! ;)

Say What? Wednesday

Cooper has recently started this thing when it's time to eat he starts fussing and saying, "I not eat!", or "I not hungry", when good and well I know he has to be hungry! We always make him sit at the table and sure enough he eventually eats. The other day at lunch he was being very stubborn and not giving in, so I sat down beside him and proceeded to tell him that he has to eat to grow big and strong like Daddy. And then I asked if he wanted to grow up big like Daddy someday, and he got this funny look on his face and said, "no, Daddy be sad if I grow up"! We always joke and them about not growing up so fast and that we are sad they are getting so big! It's crazy funny how literal kids are!

Hadley has really started playing with her barbies lately! It is the cutest thing until she brings me a barbie every 5 minutes ALL DAY long to put their shoes back on! I finally got sick of putting those shoes on, so I started showing her how to do it. I said it's not hard...you do it like this and proceeded to show her. She said, "I can't do it Mama...my hands are too small". Silly girl...it's easier with smaller hands! I then started supergluing shoes on barbies! :0

Well, Hello there!!

Anybody out there still read this ole' blog??? I have been horrible at blogging lately...actually at taking pictures in general! Not sure why, but I just needed a break! I have sat down several times over the past week, and just shut my computer while feeling totally overwhelmed with being so far behind with this blog! But I really want to get back into it, so here is just a random post of things that have been going on with us! We have BEEN ON THE GO this summer...many camping trips, many trips to the lake, a trip to Branson, many fun days at home...and much, much more! C&H are at such a fun age and enjoying being on the go! These are just some of my fave pics over the past few months!
