Mia's State Fair Performances

Mia did a great job at her state fair performances but there were so many kids crowded onto the stage that it was hard to get good video of it  :o(

 

She's still our STAR though!

Pretty Good for 3

So Mia has been writing her name for quite a while now.

But recently, she told me that she had written a note for me.  I expected a picture but she gave me this. She figured out how to spell 'mom' all on her own.  She sounded it out and wrote it down

This morning Mia was practicing writing and asked what the first letter in Pops' name is.  I told her 'P' and she promptly wrote his name down.  Watch out world!  Here comes Mia!

Say What?

So I dropped Sebastian off at school this morning and since we got there a little early Mia and I sat with him until the bell rang.  Well, in that time, a little girl named Morgan came running up to Sebastian with a grin from ear to ear and promptly told Sebastian that she was going to chase him at recess later that day.  She giggled and ran off.   I looked at Sebastian and asked him what that was all about.  He said that there's a group of girls called "the kissing girls" that chase him and his friend Tyler at recess.  I asked him if he's ever gotten caught and his response was "Yuck! No way Jose!  I'm too fast for those girls, they're never gonna catch me!"   This is only the second week of school, lord have mercy! 

 

I'm going to invest in some good running shoes!

Mud Fight!

First Day of a Long Journey

Sebastian's first day of school was harder than I could've imagined.  The four of us went for his first day and when the bell rang, the kids were lined up outside by class. You can see the worry on his little face.

 

We were all led into the cafeteria where we shared a "boo hoo breakfast" with the kids.  

 

  Then the kids were lined up by class again (the lady in the red skirt is Sebastian's teacher Ms. Corbett).  Sebastian was very nervous but he didn't shed a tear.  As soon as they were led out of the cafeteria to their classes, mama  and daddy lost it. 

 

 When we picked him up he was SO TIRED but he still proudly showed us the projects he worked on including his name.
