My Kind of Guy’s Night Out
Friday, January 15th, 2010Last Tuesday was Guy’s Night at Madeline’s preschool, an event you may remember where the children bring the important fellows in their lives. To say that she was excited is an understatement—she had been counting down the days for weeks. I think it stemmed partly from following in her big sisters’ footsteps and partly to [...]
Madeline’s Christmas party
Thursday, December 17th, 2009Today was Mimi’s last day of preschool for this year. Paul and I went to hang out with the kids and see Mimi. When we arrived they were playing letter bingo. After bingo we played in the room and cleaned up. The kids were so eager for their party that everyone was [...]
One small step
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009In 8 days this tiny foot will be going to preschool. It is so hard to think of her being ready, but she is.
This week she has been solemn. I think she has been sad because the Girls started school and she is still waiting for her school to start. [...]
A Mixed Celebration
Thursday, January 15th, 2009Tuesday was a very exciting and special day for the school girls. Their preschool class hosted a Dad’s Night Out where each girl brought her father to school for a nice little party. Since there are two of them, they were allowed to bring their grandfather as well.
The build-up to the big day was especially [...]
Preschool Holiday Party
Thursday, December 18th, 2008Today we were invited to Annie and Kimberly’s preschool holiday party. When we arrived it was still playground time so we went out to join them. Mimi loved being able to play on the equipment.
They had green cupcakes and fruit for snack. Mimi was invited to join in. I am not [...]
Thanksgiving feast at Preschool
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008Yesterday we went to preschool to enjoy the feast. Each class made something different to share with the group. Annie and Kimberly made pumpkin bread. It was so cute to see them all sitting at their “tables”
Annie and Kimberly made great candle centerpieces that we will be taking [...]

1st of many calls
Thursday, November 6th, 2008Yesterday I was asked to stay after dismissal of preschool so the teacher could talk to me. I could tell that this was not going to be good. The kids acted like there would be no reason we would have to talk to the teacher.
We went in and [...]
Open House
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Tonight we went to the preschool for open house. It was neat to see the Girls and have them show us around, even though I remember the church from my childhood it was neat to get their perspective.
The girls have been studying dinosaurs and learned so much. They made dioramas and [...]
My twins
Thursday, September 11th, 2008I have always loved to dress Annie and Kimberly alike. I think there is nothing cuter than twins wearing the same clothes. I was a little sad last year when Annie and Kimberly wanted to dress different. I never said anything to them about it, just bought them the outfits that they [...]
First of many
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Today Annie and Kimberly got their first birthday party invitation. They are so excited. This is the first party that they were invited to without us being the reason for the connection. (Course really we still are since we sent them to preschool.)
I hope she makes it
Monday, September 1st, 2008This school year is going to be hard on little Mimi. Last week her sister, Annie, had a sniffle for a day. I assume this germ came from preschool as many kids get sick upon entering school or daycares for the first time. However, Annie got better after one day of sounding [...]
1st day of Preschool
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Today Annie and Kimberly woke up super excited and ready to get going on their day. I had decided to do a photo journal of the days events. I got some great video and pictures to enjoy forever.
The girls had a great day. Last night I made a checklist for [...]
Change is weird
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Today the kids had Open House at preschool. They LOVED it and were so excited. They met both their teachers and played around in their class today, exploring every nook. Grammy went along with the girls so she could see what a wonderful place they were going and where to take them [...]
Building excitement
Thursday, August 14th, 2008This morning one of Annie and Kimberly’s preschool teachers came to visit them at the house. They introduced themselves to the kids and talked with them about some of the procedures and expectations at school. The Girls were all ears and so excited.
They each colored a rainbow with purple backing because [...]
Down to the wire
Monday, July 21st, 2008In one month from today my little babies will be going to preschool. This is one of those life changes that you can’t anticipate how it will feel until it happens. Course I know I will miss them but I also know I will be overwhelmed with a sense of pleasure at the [...]
