Storytime

I had to capture the moment earlier this morning when I heard Audrey reading to Caden in the next room. She has been bringing home little reader books from school so she got one and read it to him. I thought it was so cute that she could read a whole book to her little brother and the little hideout place under the end table that they chose was priceless! It's so fun to see them grow and interact together like this. It will be so nice when she can read any book to him!

Have no fear...Happy Man is here!

Ok, I just have to post these pictures because they make me laugh! We had a superhero party two Sundays ago at Amy and Rich's house to celebrate their boy's birthdays. Ethan really got into it as you can see. When we arrived, he snuck around back, got into his costume and surprised us all through the back door. The kids loved it. We forgot his cape so he had to improvise with the car windshield window shade. He was his own superhero called "Happy Man". When the kids got grumpy or sad, he would flash his happy paddles and make silly sounds till they smiled. Because the wetsuit was a bit toasty, he didn't last long as Happy Man, but it was pretty hilarious while it lasted!

1st Day of Kindergarten "Take Two"

Audrey started at Monterey Ridge Elementary in 4S Ranch on Tuesday. We transferred her there after a rough start at Painted Rock. She is in half day Kindergarten in the afternoon and is in school for 3 hrs 20 min compared to over 6 hours at Painted Rock. Lets just say, she enjoys her new school so much better! It's definitely a better match for her. I can't believe the district changed to full day Kindergarten this year. It's just not necessary! Monterey Ridge didn't have the classroom space to have full day but will have to comply by next year I believe.

She loves her new teacher, Mrs. Kasner and has already made some new friends in her class. Here's to a fresh new start at a new school with many happy memories to come!
