L's fun day at preschool

I really enjoyed being with L at her Fall Fun Day. She wore my cheerleading outfit and was all ready to go. I did think about Ek's Fall Fun Day when she was a ballerina and H wore his little puppy hat, it was a cold day that day and they both enjoyed playing on the slide. H's Fall Fun Day he dressed as Spiderman and little L tagged along. When Ek was L's age, it was our first year in Dublin, so now we are starting to do things that all 3 are getting to do. Its quite nostalgic. I will say that of the 3, L enjoyed the games the most. Or maybe the candy prizes, not sure. But she ran from game to game having a blast.

This game she wasn't quite into, she wasn't to sure about digging in sand with her freshly manicured hands, but she managed to get in the sand enough to get her prize.

Please note that she is actually eating a Reece's cup while trying to win at the cake walk.
Ahhh, the duck pond with friends. That is BP dressed as Ironman.
She was very happy over her double cheeked face painting.
She seems to be having a great time at school. One of the funniest things she has started doing is stopping by all her friends classrooms to greet all her friends before she settles into her own. Her door is in a quad door area with the other 3 year old class, 2 year old class and one year old class. She has friends in each. When we get there, she won't go into her room until she speaks to them, once she has, she marches right in and gets to her day. Can you imagine how late she will be to all her classes in high school? :)

What keeps me busy...

Several weeks ago I had one of the craziest weeks with my kids activities. They had me on the go!

Monday, L was off from school for her fall break. You know those preschoolers, they really work hard and need a break from school!! It did give her some time to work on her new photography hobby.

Tuesday, H and I were off to a field trip to an awesome farm. We rode the

school bus together, played, and ate our picnic lunches together. We had a blast.

Wednesday was L's fall fun day. Maybe thats why they needed Monday off, to rest up for the big party! She dressed in my cheerleading outfit and had the most fun. She played every game at least 5 times. Pumpkin bowling was at the top of her list.

Thursday, Ek and I went to the same farm H went to. At first I thought I was seeing the same permission slip over and over again, I finally had to put the 2 side by side to convince myself I was going to the same farm on an hour school bus ride twice in 3 days. And yet, it was soooo much fun. Ek loved it too.

Friday was H's Farmer Brown Day at school. One of the most fun activity days of the year. It is very simple and very fun.

Saturday I stayed in bed all day. No not really. It was a really great week.

Ek's new look

Last Monday, Ek brought home a page of school work that I was a bit confused about. She was to, as she does every Monday, copy her spelling words from the board and write them 3 additional times. Half of them were circled and corrected. When I asked her what happened, she said, "Mama, I couldn't see them good." She was very disgruntled. So we got a work in appointment with her ophthalmologist daddy and were quite surprised at the severity of her sweet little eyes' nearsightedness. We were then surprised at how hard it was to find glasses to fit her sweet little face. But finally today H and I went to pick them up while the girls were dancing and before our soccer games. She was so excited. She put them on and said "wow." All the way to school she was comparing her naked eyes to her new and improved corrected eyes. It was like a whole new world. She said she had been able to see close up just fine but everything far away was blurry, and now with her glasses it was clear. She was so impressed. I am so thankful. The details of her new specs are: they are a pinkish burgundyish metal with pink butterflies on the temples. And she is adorable.
