Almost Wordless Wednesday: My Heart Explodes Soon

These three precious girls, who incidentally just started pre-k what feels like yesterday, will say goodbye to their beloved preschool tomorrow at graduation. We will miss their sweet, loving teacher and all their cohorts classmates. I can not believe how fast time flies!!

Back In May

I'm going to clean out my brain and my photo files right here on my neglected little blog over the next couple of days. Hopefully this will help me to get back to updating regularly because so much is happening and I don't want to miss this stuff! In no certain order:

Meet my Dad's dog Daisy Mae. She became his in May...

...on the same day that Ella graduated from preschool.

During the entire hour plus of graduation silly Sarah insisted on wearing her own personally devised clip on earrings. The hairbows attached to her earlobes looked terribly uncomfortable and she verified that they were in fact hurting her. Her words, "These things are killing my ears, but aren't they just the cutest?!?" Where do they learn this stuff??

To the Moon and Back and Then Some

Here in our house our favorite phrase for affection is, "I love you to the moon and back." If you ask any of the girls how much I love them they will quickly tell you "Mama loves me to the moon and back." I often overhear them telling each other that same thing.

So tonight, after a very lengthy bedtime conversation about our upcoming trip to the wedding, when Ella said to me, "Mom, do you know how much I love you?", I said, "to the moon and back?" She said, "Nope, we learned at school that a circle has no end, so that's how much I love you.... and please tell Daddy that's how much I love him from now on too."

Pweschool

Tomorrow will be Maggie, Kate, and Sarah's second day of pweschool. They are pictured below last Friday as we were headed out for Ella's second day at CCP and their first day at Ms. Dena's. Ms. Dena, one of my lifelong friends, and her youngest son Brody are hosting "preschool" one day a week. This way Dena has a class to hold Brody's attention, and I have a preschool for the girls. So far, so good!

Incidentally, we celebrated back to school last Tuesday evening with peanut butter sandwiches and chocolate shakes for supper per Ella's request, and on Thursday with a home made cookie cake that Maggie, Kate, and Sarah got to help make and decorate. It was super easy... maybe I'll post the recipe sometime soon.

Maggie, Kate, and especially Sarah are thrilled to be going to school this year. We work together at home all the time on little preschool projects, but it really is important to them that they are going to preschool, so thank you Dena! One of my many prayers for our girls is that they love learning, and I think they are off to a great start! Aren't they a motley little crew?!?

Wordless Wednesday: 1st Day of Pre-K

Big sis headed out for her first day of pre-K today all smiles. I walked her in and then had a hard time getting her attention for a goodbye. At pick up I was informed that her new teacher is the greatest... almost as good as Ms. Kelli. This is such a contrast to early last year! Enjoy more Wordless Wednesday posts at 5 Minutes for Mom.
