Happy 2nd Birthday Sophie!

Yesterday was Sophie's 2nd birthday and I can't believe she's all grown up!

Happy Birthday Pilot Stud!

Jason had a good mellow birthday, which is what he wanted. He doesn't like getting old, and he doesn't take it very well. He and I went out to eat at a great sushi place we found here and then on Sunday we had cupcakes and some friends over to play games. Sierra made him a present of these little bottlecaps that she likes to decorate and she wrapped it in a pink toy bag, but didn't want him to have pink so she wrapped a baby doll's blue shirt around it. I wish I had taken a picture. It was so funny.

One thing I do notice about Jason getting older is his ability to loosen up more as you will notice in these pictures, he is actually smiling. He normally makes a funny face, but these have his natural smile! I love it!

First Day of School

Here are some tidbits of what the girls told me about their first day of school.

Sydney started Pre-K (since she missed the kindergarten cutoff by a week) and Sierra started 2nd grade.

Sydney's First Day:

*Did you sit by Layla on the bus?

No, I sat by this girl who fell asleep and then when we turned left she fell on me.

*You are only supposed to bring one snack and I’m glad you only put one snack in my backpack because I didn’t break the rule.

*You can’t have juice box because it gets sticky and all the flies come in.

*We getted to play and I was trying to do on the monkey bars.

*I wasn’t shy and I like my teacher. I was being quiet because she was writing something at my school. And we learned about no hopping in school, hop outside and scream outside.

*Layla got a bug in her hair and it dropped down and it was dead and she didn’t want me to tell the teacher. It was black and dead. It climbed up on her and stuck there and then was dead cuz it’s legs got all twist.  Only I saw it every minute so I said, “Layla there’s a bug on your hair”, the teacher was teaching about NO SCREAMING.

Sierra's First Day:

*When we went to PE I was running around the cones and I went really, really fast because my shoes were like these type of things that make your feet more stronger and it tightens your feet and makes you go fast. And when I was done I wasn’t hot, my arms felt good, my legs felt really wiggly and I felt really good.

*I made up a new friend named…Aleena. She is really nice, and she’s in my class and she sits at a different table. She sits across my table.

*When I went to school, it’s like a really big school and it has 2 big buildings that belong to itself.

*I went on a tour and saw all the rooms in the whole school and the school is really big. When we went on the playground, one part was closed cuz there was 4 huge piles of wood chips. The swings felt more good than the swings at my other school, because it had a bar for a seat. But we only had one minute for recess and all I did was start swinging and then it was over.

*At rug time we sat in a big circle and played a game to get to know everybody and we had to answer questions like what is something exciting that happened to you. I told them I like to go to Atticus’s house and play the Wii and the Xbox360.

*I like my teacher because she teaches me a lot of stuff and she’s really nice and if you raise your hand she’ll pick on you.
