We have a Kindergartener!

Last night, we celebrated Brant starting school with back to school cookies, courtesy of the Cookie Mama! She made Brant & Brylee's teachers some cookies for the next day. At bedtime, we read The Night Before Kindergarten. My sweet friend, Erika, gave Brant this book! Thanks, Erika! It was a great book - both kids loved it!

The day had finally arrived, today was Brant's first day of kindergarten! He was so ready to get to school. When we got there, we took pictures and headed toward his class. He went right into Mrs. Robertson's class and starting playing with blocks.

I was super proud - I did not shed a tear. I was not sad because he was so excited and happy to be there. (Part of the real reason I didn't cry was that I had to get back to my class and I did not have time to think about it!) He had a SUPER day. He took a nap - which is very surprising, and he loved going to P.E. He was excited to have a green light. He can't wait to go tomorrow!

Last Trips of the Summer

Sorry, again I am posting late. The week before school started, we went to Geyser Falls. We had so much fun! Brant again LOVED the Creaky Leaky Water Factory. Brylee did not want to get on the water slides at the Water Factory. Brylee finally went down the slides at the Lil' Squirts Hollow. After she went down a couple of times with my help, she went down by herself about a hundred times. As soon as she got off, she would run right back up to slide again. We all loved floating on the lazy river. We stayed until they closed. We were all worn out, but it was worth it!

Thursday, I met my mom in Macon. The kids were going to spend a couple of days before school started back. They had so much fun. Sorry, no pictures of this. They went and fed ducks, rode the Dentzel Carousel, etc. While they were there, Bryan and I enjoyed a night out at the movies. The next day, when Bryan got off work, we headed to Meridian to spend the weekend. When we got there, Brylee immediately started saying that she did not want to go home. My parents really LOVED hearing that. The next day, we spent the day with family and painting. Bryan and I had bought Brant a desk for his room. We thought he needed a desk since he was starting school. Brylee, of course, wanted one, too. I wanted to paint them. My talented sister stepped in to paint. I helped too, but I only painted what she outlined for me to paint. She actually drew Bully and the M State. I am so proud. They turned out awesome after almost 2 straight days of painting. We were worn out from painting but the outcome was worth it!
