We ♥ Art

Around here, we LOVE art projects. Last night Kyleigh colored a picture then she and I worked on some simple cutting and gluing of silly, colorful shapes from construction paper. There was really no motive to this artwork, just that she wanted to use scissors and glue! LOL

At first Kyleigh was gluing all the matching colors together. Then, near the end, I noticed she started pairing up matching shapes near one another instead. I'm glad she recognizes these similarities and differences and has her own way to showcase them!

First Few Weeks In Photos

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

I had let my hair grow long, then decided it was heavy and boring so I opted for a trim. That trim turned out poorly, so I had to get another cut! And the results...

School Daze

Kyleigh started Preschool!

I'm happy for my girl, who's been wanting to go to school forever! We toured the school and met the teacher on 8/19, then attended Open House on 8/31. On both occasions Kyleigh wasn't ready to leave, and we knew without a doubt she'd be a-ok without us at school!

I got to drop my big girl off on her first day (Tues 9/7), and Chris took a late lunch break to surprise us at school to pick her up! She was sooo excited to see her Daddy! It was great to hear all about her big day and see how excited she was about this new adventure!

She attends preschool just two days a week, she likes her teacher, and she has made friends with classmates. Chris and I had only one big concern, which is her food allergies, but there's been no issue so far since the teacher, assistant, and the preschool Director are on top of things so we don't have to worry (as much...I'll always worry a little!). The first week went well, and we're looking forward to all the fun to come!

Here are some pics at the start of the school year:

Pampered Princess & Boy With A Blue Bin

Pampered Princess

While we were out school supply shopping recently, I took Kyleigh to get a "manicure" (just nails polished) at a nearby nail salon to make her first day of school a little more special.She had her nails done once before, but you'd think she goes weekly, she's such a pro. She picked her own color, she sat still, she used her manners, and she had a blast! The owner was so impressed with her adorable little personality, she insisted on doing Kyleigh's nails for FREE! Awww! Kyleigh felt like a pampered princess and was so excited, so it was a super fun thing for both of us. Can't wait 'til Addison gets to be part of our girls day out adventures! ♥

Boy With a Blue Bin

While we were out, Josiah was home with Daddy, and this is how my boy entertained himself with a blue bin:

This 'N That

Just a few tidbits...

On 8/31 Addison had her 2 wk well-exam, and she'd gained 5 oz. We knew there were no worries because she's an excellent eater, she'll likely just be a petite girl like her older sister!

Also on that date we attended the Open House event at Kyleigh's future Preschool. We got to see Kyleigh and her classmates check out their classroom, which was cute. Oh, and we got our list of school supplies needed for the term, so we get to do official "Back to School Shopping"!

Chris's birthday was yesterday (9/1), and it's the first year of our marriage I didn't throw a party or make a huge ordeal of the occasion...and he didn't care! We literally did nothing in regard to his birthday, but what he really wanted was to watch the first OSU game tonight so I made sure he got to--and they won! *Go Buckeyes*
