Sydney's Last Day of Preschool

Today was Sydney's last day of preschool! Her first day of Kindergarten is August 15th (GG's birthday!).

New Play Set!

The kids are REALLY enjoying the new play set we got! We have been spending A LOT of time outside these days.

Chef Jackson!

Baby birds...growing fast!

Dollywood 4.24.08

The babies have arrived!

OK, I know this second picture is a "little scary", but it's rare you get to see a baby bird THIS close! I'll take some more when they get bigger.

Beware of Mama Bird...

"Beware of Mama Bird" That's what the post-it note says on my front door! Would you believe a bird built a nest for her eggs on my FRONT DOOR!

Look How Cute!!

Just my luck! I'm going to have baby birds chirping on my front door! We won't be able to use the door until they are gone because it opens to the inside...what if a bird flies in my house! I can't wait to see the babies!

Jackson's New Bed

I think Sydney is enjoying it as much as Jackson!

Big Boy Bed !!!

With reluctance...we got Jackson a "big boy bed". I've been trying to keep him a baby as long as I can! He LOVES it! He actually stayed in it and didn't get up until the next morning. I'm CERTAIN this won't last though. I'll keep you posted!

Getting ready for Kindergarten!

Tomorrow is "hat day" at preschool. She's wearing the Red Sox cap her Uncle Kris bought her!

Kindergarten round-up! April 1, 2008

Today we registered Sydney for KINDERGARTEN!!! I can't believe it! How time flies...

What a big sister!

Sydney just about has every book memorized! She is "reading" to Jackson. She is such a big help to me when i'm trying to get stuff done around the house. She really entertains her brother. I'm VERY lucky, I know!

Easter 2008

Shortly after this picture, Jackson decided he would drink some dye...nice, huh?! I freaked out, as usual. I think I scared him to death! And Sydney, too. She kept saying "what's gonna happen to him?" I said we would just wait and see...I think it made him meaner...is that possible?

All dressed up!

Before!

I always knew Sydney was special! She's so special that she has two extra baby teeth on top. We've known for some time that they would need to be pulled...well, today is THE day. I wish it were me instead of her!!! This picture was taken right before we left for her appointment...

After!

She was such a BRAVE girl! The "laughing gas" eased her anxiety! I'm just glad it's over. Tonight the Tooth Fairy will visit!!! We also went to Toys R Us after her appt for a little prize (which, by the way, ended up costing more than the dentist bill!).
