First Day of Preschool

Baxter had his first day of preschool Monday. I do admit that I opened this email picture and got a little misty that I was unable to be there. Does it get any sweeter than this? Bax and his little Con-Con. He is so excited to be with Ms. Nancy and Ms. Angie again!
SIDENOTE: must speak with Mary about wearing socks with these shoes....

Two Haircuts Today - You Guess Which One Went to a Professional?

EVIDENCE: It may not look like a lot but it was a good handful.

THIS FACE MAY LOOK GUILTY, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CULPRIT!

Check out my new haircut!

Did they even cut any off the back? I swear he will have his father's chia pet hair one day!

Oh yeh, not even funny.

Still not funny....

That's right. Someone got up this a.m. and went to the barber shop with their dad. Lots of fun though I may add that the haircuts in Brunswick are far superior to the one here. When they returned, Baxter continued to tell us that he went to "Marcia's Cuttery." It is the funniest thing ever to hear him say this!!! Well, it must have given someone else the idea that they needed a haircut. Out of nowhere Lillee Grace comes marching in with a HANDFUL OF HAIR and announces that she needed a haircut as well. This is our first experience with haircutting, besides ponies. My Little Ponies get washed and dried weekly. Elizabeth was over today yet still, no cutting. I admit that it's not too bad. It actually looks like she wants it to blend into the bobbed hair. It could have been much worse. And how do you discipline such an act? I took away scissor privileges and said I hoped Mrs. Tara would be able to mend this catastrophe. Geez.

To Elaborate on Pre-K

I posted the Pre-K pics this a.m. at 6 a.m. Now I'll go back and give a recap. Sunday night we went to bed early around 8 or so. 5:30 footsteps came down the hallway, geared up for school, dress in hand. We got dressed and I left early. Scott brought her and there were thankfully no tears. My morning dropping her off was definitely overshadowed with thoughts of getting to my room full of 2nd graders. However, if I were Scott I would have cried in a yummy Starbucks when leaving the school. Scott did comment that her going to school made Baxter seem like such a baby and it has been decided will be in 1st grade at the Methodist Church!
LG had a great day. She did take a nap. Her favorite part was lunch and recess. Of course, that's what all kids say!
Moving to Monday night. Such a tiring day....everyone was in the bed pretty early.
1:00 a.m. here she comes down the hallway. I made her get in bed with us.
1:30 a.m. sits straigt up in bed and asks me to cut her on a movie before she leaves for school
2:00 a.m. Scott goes to get in her bed
2:30 a.m. sits up in bed and asks me to make her oatmeal before going to school
2:45 a.m. she gets back in her bed with Scott
3:00 a.m. Scott goes downstairs ------ followed by.... you know who
3:15 a.m. I go down to get her. She's in bed with me now.
4:00 a.m. sits up in bed and asks if it's time to go to school
BELT COMES OUT OF CLOSET...... kidding
5:00 a.m. til 7:00 a.m. two blissful hours of uninterrupted sleep full of drool and snoring.
7:01 a.m. alarm clock
7:30 a.m. both LG and I both at school. not firing on all six cylinders.

It's so funny to see her so excited. She is adjusting but she's just exhausted. Sunday afternoon we chose 5 outfits for her to wear and we decided which one would be Mon, Tues, etc. Someone ask her at school today if she liked it. She said she did but she only had two more outfits hanging up and then she didn't have to go to school again. Sheer exhaustion.

1st Day of Pre-K

Can you believe it? It was a bittersweet day. Lillee Grace woke up at 5:45 ready to go. She was so happy.
