1st Day of Kindergarten
It's hard to believe the summer is gone! Here's our big girl off to school! She really wanted to ride the bus this morning but we negotiated and she's riding it home. I'm not sure she fully realizes how early we would have to be up and functioning for her to be on the cheese wagon by 7:36. 
She could not wait to get out the door. We had to wake up our little creature so we could make the Griswald caravan to the school.
He was not thrilled to be awake before 9 a.m. Thumb is sticking up in this picture and all he wanted to do was come home and have a corndog. Nutritious I know. He's really into the pancakes on the stick with sausage in the middle.
She jumped out of the car before I could snap a good picture and slammed the door. We watched her go in and ask someone which way to her class! So growny. 
Another nutritious meal but this is what she requested! "Special breakfast" as she calls it. She had no trouble waking up and there were absolutely no arguments about clothes, hair, bows, shoes, teeth.... WOW. Reason #1 for staying at home - ease of morning routine!!!It was a little bittersweet for me to not be working this a.m. I'll admit it was very strange when we pulled away to be on "that side" of the school. It is very exciting and I know when the baby comes we'll be so busy. For now though, it's a little tough not having a schedule and knowing EXACTLY what I'm doing everyday. Baxter and I will be taking walks looking for sticks, going for picnics, looking for sticks, napping, looking for sticks, washing clothes, looking for sticks... Lillee Grace and I discussed her coming home on the bus. She said it was so fun to come home to her Mary. I explained it will be similar except she couldn't come in and count on 3 Fudge Rounds!!
5 more hours til we see her!!! Look for pics of the bus soon!

Kiawah Island
Happy 8th Anniversary!
Biking all over island. It was very peaceful and relaxing when the kids helped peddle.
The Fat Hen. It was delicious and I guess worth the 1 hour 45 minute wait. This was a pic taken 15 mins. into the wait.
45 mins. into the wait..... No pics of the tropical storm that came through after 1 hour 15 min. wait. I was in the car with the kiddos watching a movie and I swear the car was moving!
30 mins. into wait. Pre tropical storm!
Not kidding. They were close.... you had to cross this bridge to get to beach. At time we did it on bike. Must have better coordination than a 7 months preggers person!
His favorite part of the trip!April 12, 2009

Princess Lillee is 5!
Here's the birthday girl. It is so hard to believe she is 5 years old. Which makes it even more difficult to believe her brother is almost 3! Wow - this birthday has really turned her into a little independent soul - thankfully and sadly. She thinks now that she is 5 she can do anything. It is more helpful when she wants to play in her room by herself. Then I can't help but miss her. I think she believes she is supposed to do all of these things and be more motherly to Baxter. Oh yes, he just loves that.I am so proud of her for riding the bus by herself, skipping off to breakfast at school alone, making mud stew in the back yard without my help and just being so sweet right now with wonderful marvelous manners that have come up!
Here's her 4 friends that came over to celebrate. Only 1 was missing but we understand she was at her grandma's. What better place! We started off the party with some pizza....
opened some presents - I think this was EVERYONE'S favorite part. Especially Moxley.......
painted some t-shirts. Well, mom, Amy and I attempted to help paint t-shirts. Bethany had a sketch pad in which the girls picked their designs and she constructed their masterpieces! Wow!
Star babysitter - I really don't know what we would have done without Bethany! She slept in the basement with them - bless her soul.
Then the driving babysitter and her friends came by for a visit. Obviously, they WERE winding down. She completely stirred them back up!
We love our Claire Ann!
Finally, cake and ice cream. It turned out very cute! A good time was had by all. All 5 girls (including Bethany) were asleep by 11 p.m. All slept all night and were gone by 10 a.m. Our 1st big slumber party was a huge success I would say! Lillee Grace had a great time and enjoyed each friend.My parents came for the weekend. My mom was lots of help. Dad and Scott took little Stitch to the Monster Truck Jam in Macon for the night. We'll try to get some pics up of that!!! Ha!
