She is NOT going to be happy!

Sophia is not going to be happy. They cancelled school for tomorrow. ALL day today she kept asking if she could go to school. Then, her teacher calls and leaves a voicemail telling us that school has been cancelled for tomorrow but they should be okay for Wed.

So I guess we will do something school related. Maybe paint, draw, something. We worked on her alphabet flashcards earlier. I even did them out of order and she knew all but 2 of them. :) I think she just didn't want to tell me what they were. She even knew some of the lowercase letters. :) She's a smarty that one. :)

Tomorrow is our anniversary. 7 yrs! Yippie. Hoping to go out to lunch or something since Wayne has to work. Depends on if mom will watch the kids or not. I hope so.

Okay. off to look up a recipe to make for dinner tonight. :)

The first week

We made it through the first week of school! YAY!

Sophia is enjoying it so far. I'm very impressed because today she brought home her worksheet and they are working on the letter A. She actually wrote one all by herself! Go Sophia! She's also happy because one of the boys she liked from last year (her "boyfriend") is in her class again this year. His name is Noah and he's such a cutie. The first day he walked over to where she was sitting and said hi to her. :)

Now she's saying she doesn't want to do cheerleading. I'm not going to push it. It will be easier if she does it next year anyways because then we will have 2 cars again and I won't have to depend on anyone to give her rides.

Looking forward to my tupperware party on Wednesday. Should be fun. I hope I have a decent amount of people show up. :)

Sophia video

So I had made this video of Sophia a couple years ago. I really need to update it but I can't seem to get through it when I watch it close to her bday without crying. Enjoy!

First(actual) day of School!

Today is the first real day of school!

Sophia is so excited! She was awake before I walked in her room. She ate her breakfast without argument and then went in her room and got dressed in the outfit I had laid out. Without being told to!!! WOOHOO!!!! She's been walking around with her backpack on all morning. Silly girl!

So here she is on her first day of PreK!

One down, a whole year to go!

Sophia was so excited to go to school today! So much so that when it was time to come home after we met with her teacher, she didn't want to go home! :) I just hope she continues with this excitement!

We're almost 100% sure she's going to start cheerleading lessons next week. It will all be decided if my mom can help take her to classes. If not, then we'll have to figure something out. I'm not keen on the idea of having to take Wayne to work and pick him up at midnight just to have the car but if I have to, I guess I will. ONLY if she likes it!

so for those of you who are not football fans or were living under a rock if you live in the chicago/northwest indiana area, then you know that the Colts lost last night to the bears. :( I was soo upset. I won't make up excuses, but I know there's a reason(or 5) of why they didn't play so well. They'll win next time!

Okay. I'm not feeling well so I'm going to take my butt to bed.

One more day!!

The time has come.

Sophia starts school tomorrow! She's excited about it so that makes me happy.

She is also going to be starting cheerleading classes next week hopefully. I need to call and find out more information and then we will register her. My mom said she would help out with giving her rides if she can when Wayne has to work. I HATE having only one car. It sucks big time!

Tonight is the first Colts game of the season. Naturally Sophia is wearing her Manning jersey. Quite the brave girl since she's over at Uncle Todd's with my mom and he's a Bears fan. Billy is over there too and he's a Bears fan as well. GO COLTS! LOL I told Sophia she can stay up and watch the game til 8pm then it was off to bed. Hopefully Wayne will watch the game with me too. :)

One more week!

Yes it's been a while, but I've been trying to enjoy the end of summer with the kids.

Sophia starts her 2nd year of preschool on the 8th. The first day is actually a meet the teacher/ review the rules/ information day. We'll only be there for an hour. She'll get to meet her new classmates, see if any of the kids from last year have returned, and see the classroom again. It's the same place as last year so that's a plus. Meanwhile, the parents(that's me!) will go in another room and talk to the teacher. Well mostly listen as the teacher talks.

Wednesday, the 10th will be the first actual day of class. She has to be there at 8:55 and will go until 11:30. This will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I hope she enjoys it as much this year as she did last year! :)

I'm dreading how Connor reacts to this and how long it takes him to adjust. Sophia spent the night at Grandma's yesterday and all night long he walked around the house asking "where sissy?" He adores his sissy and is so sad when she's not here. Hopefully by having his OT on mon and speech on Wed while she's in school it won't be so bad. The really hard part will come when I go back to work. Then he won't have Mommy or Sissy home with him. :( My poor little boy. At least it will give him and Daddy a chance to hang out without us girl!

So that's what's going on here. :)
