Stuff

So Bella brought home the cutest picture in the entire world today. She drew it at school, and I nearly cried when I saw it. :)

The teacher wrote what each thing represented. She drew herself and her brother. :)

We got a baby gate/Gavin gate put up in his room. We have been needing to do this for a while since it's the playroom and there are always lots of babies here. My lunchtime routine will be so much easier now. Thank goodness!

YAY baby gate!

Chris installed under cabinet lighting in our kitchen! It's wonderful! My husband amazing!

Busy Bees

We have all been busy busy....like bees (without the stinger of course). :) I have been needing to update for a while....so I am just going to scrunch everything all into one post.

Gavin drives me CRAZY. Literally. He touches everything, he climbs everything, he opens everything, he throws things in the trash, he throws things in the toilet or bath tub....etc...seriously? We love him...so much....:)

It is so hard to be mad at this face...

...until this happens... He decided to throw my wallet in the bathtub. My belongings (including paychecks and money) had to spend the day drying. Thanks Gavin.

We still Love you. :)

A couple of weekends ago "Alexaner" spent the weekend with us. The girls had a blast. I set them up on the air mattress to watch a movie before bed.

Pink is a dominant color in our house...

Gavin is a daredevil - as stated before... He climbs up our slide on the jungle gym and slides down by himself. It scares me to death...

We decided to put Gavin in the jumperoo...it's meant for babies who can't walk. Our baby can walk...and run...and climb...and get into EVERYTHING. Thank you jumperoo. :)






It turns out...Bella LOVES school. Kindergarten has turned our child into a teenager over night. Apparently she will be going to college soon so she thinks. Literally... She came home from school her first day and asked me who will be taking her to college. Um... Even though she still needs to work on her attitude a lot at home, we are very proud of our daughter.

P.S. If Bella gets in trouble one more time at school, mommy will not be very happy. Yes...she has already gotten in trouble. :/

Bella's First Day of Kindergarten

Last week was a tough week. I cried, I lost sleep, and I worried, but I did it! I made it through Bella's first day of kindergarten. I have been meaning to post this since Thursday, but you know how it is. :)

I decided to let Bella choose her own outfit since she is a true big girl now. She did a wonderful job. Chris ended up taking the morning off work so he could witness this memorable day. It was so special to us. She walked in like she was an old pro. I lingered a little longer than I should have because Bella asked me to leave. :) She was just making a new friend as I walked out the door (not without taking a picture of course). She brings home the best stories about her day. We look forward to them.

Making a friend. :) That was the best part of my day...watching this...

Bella busted her lip today. I panicked, but it turns out - she is a big girl. :)

This is what happens when you climb on things you shouldn't climb on.

She fell asleep with the rag on her lip

All better with a tiny bruise under her bottom lip. :)
