Cat in The Hat!

Happy Birthday Dr.Seuss! Today we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday at preschool. Emma and Maddisen were so excited to be apart of it! All the preschoolers had a great time, and we finished the day off with a hat and a cat nose! Soooooooooooooooooo Cute!

This is DEFINATELY going to hurt in the morning!

Emma fell asleep watching movies down in the preschool on one of the chairs...Hahaha! She must of been very tired to fall alseep in that position!

Emma Dilemma

My three year old preschool class would not be the same without Emma. She is the first one to giggle at the funny part in a story, the first one the start singing, the first one to help (even if you didn't think you needed help), and the first one to make a MESS!

Now Presenting,,,,,(drum roll)...Miss Dress Up

Maddisen has ALWAYS been my little dress up girl. We even have a Grandma called "Dress Up" Grandma because she sews Maddisen and Emma dress up clothes. What would I do without Grandma? Maddisen is quite upset about our makeup rule at home: Makeup is only for dress up. I have to say, Maddisen makes me want to be a better girl! (I have no idea how I wound up with such a girly girl!) We love her creativity and imagination!

It's a bird... it's a plane....it's in A LOT of pieces!

A month ago we bought the "airplane" from Costco to add to the playground equipment. I figured today was so beautiful, why not put it together and surprise the preschoolers. Maddisen and Emma were right there by my side, helping to try and figure out how the stinkin' thing goes together. Next time I'll ask if I can buy the display!

Here's To All Of YOU!!!!!! THANK YOU!

I can't seem to get to sleep tonight, and I am sitting here thinking about preschool. What's new? Over the past two years I have been able to touch SO many lives with my love for teaching. I was talking with my mom the other night about how incredible my "job" is. I find it hard to call it a job, when I love what I do so intensely. I am SPOILED to teach in the environment I teach in, the families are absolutely incredible in SO many ways, and my little love bugs have got my heart in their back pocket! Everyday each of you thank ME for the great job I am doing with your little one. Well, now it is MY turn to thank all of you for your love and support! I can't begin to tell you how blessed I am to have the opportunity to teach your child and have each of you apart of my preschool family! I can honestly say, I bet I have been hugged over a million times! It will be incredible to look back later on in life and remember "my preschool years".

I decided to add a special section to the blog that I can continue to add new comments from my little ones! Enjoy!

I love you my little giggle bugs!

Got Milk?

To make a long story short, I was asked to bring a large bag of fruit loops (seperated into baggies of different colors) into Maddisen's kindergarten class by Thursday (100th day of school). That morning Maddisen wakes up and I say "good morning sweetheart, guess what today is?" AND THEN IT HITS ME,,OHHHHH NO!!!! So I call Allison across the street, explaining that I haven't even bought the cereal, let alone seperated it into baggies. She laughs, and lovingly says, "bring the girls over here and go get the cereal and I'll separate them for you." What a friend! I run the girls over to her house and within 13 minutes I have the cereal and I am back. Emma had not had a chance to eat with all of the morning trauma. Allison gave me a huge metal bowl to dump the bag into. Emma had come over to the table as I was pouring the cereal into the bowl and sat down next to me. I dumped the bag in and began to walk away when Emma says "I need milk Mama!" I was laughing so hard! She LOVES cereal, but who knew she loved it that much!

Ahoy Matey!

The other night Maddisen and Emma were playing pirates downstairs in the preschool. Keith was in the backroom on the computer within hearing distance. The two of them were playing great, talking back and forth like pirates. The pirates were trying to find the gold chest and a "bad guy came by" and so Maddi yells out (in a pirate voice) "Arghhhh, cut him in half like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich." It is so much fun watching her grow!

CHEETOS Monster!

During the last few minutes of preschool Emma went up stairs to wait for me. During this time, she apparently found a large bag of Cheetos and decide to finish the bag. When I came up stairs, I found her sitting on a chair with an orange mouth and hands. She looks up at me and says, "Sheetos are all gone Mama, all gone!" She was too cute, how could I say anything else but "Where's the camera?"

Mom, can we go out and play? PLEASEEEEEE!!!

The girls have been asking to go out and play in the snow the last couple of days. In between storms we were able to get out and have some fun in the snow! My little snow angels were so much fun! I guess the snow isn't THAT bad!
