Hudson was asked to draw a picture of his family! So, here we all are...
Here we are bright and early (like 6:00am early! Kids go to work with me at 6:30) ready for school! SO glad we got back in the "school" routine last week.
Hudson is going to the Keller Early Learning Center 3 days a week from 8-11am this year. He goes to the daycare I work at at 6:30...then I shuttle him to school at 8 and pick him up at 11. He stays at my daycare until I get off at 2:30. Then we go pick Lawson up and head home! I'm so glad he is able to go to pre-k this year for several reasons. One...it breaks up his day a bit. Two...this will be his first experience to be at school on his own. Being away from me ISN"T the problem...but sometimes he relies on me (more than I would like) to solve his problems at daycare. And I'm glad that it is only 3 hours a day...so I still have plenty of time to enjoy his little self! He is a hoot!
Lawson was supposed to bring a paper sack with 5 items that would help people get to know her. She picked a macaroni and cheese (toy)...favorite food, a sea shell (she loves the beach), a rainbow (toy)...she loves rainbows, a giraffe (toy)...her favorite animal, and a blue crayon....her favorite color.
And here we are after school!
Awww...Little La!
Rob dropped La off at school. He said she couldn't WAIT to sit at her desk and get to work! I'm not suprised....Lawson loves a good project. And she's glad for school to be starting back up!
Lawson and Mrs. Griffiths
So, it was a big debate in our house this morning over who was gonna take who to school. I wanted both kids to be walked in by a parent...but both kids wanted it to be me. (I should be flattered...but they only want me because that means they get to ride the SS Noah van....pretty sure.) I talked Lawson into letting Robbie take her...and me take Hudson. I really wanted to drop off my baby for the first time.
When I take kids to school on the SS Noah Van, I have to drop the kids off in the daycare drop off line. I told Hudson to stay on the van when the other kids got out...and I would park and walk in with him to his class. He said ok. But, when we actually stopped there...he said "Mom, I really just want to go in by myself...with my friends" I said, "I thought you wanted me to take you." He said, "actually not." Poor me! I was a big girl though and let him go with his friends.
However, I did park the van and go in to check on him.
Class had already started. They were all sitting on the circle time mat. I just snapped this shot through the window. Hudson is in the bottom left, next to his teacher.
Evidentally Pre-K wore him out! He doesn't take naps anymore but he crashed out during naptime back at SS Noah. I snapped this pic and then remembered a pic I took over a year ago that is so super similar! He just looks SO much older now!
Second Grade and Pre-K here we come!
We took our school supply list to Walmart and got our school supplies.
Lawson actually needs notebook paper this year! Wow!
This is the first year Hudson has needed school supplies. He was really excited!
This is Lawson and her second grade teacher, Mrs. Griffiths
This is her 3rd year to attend Eagle Ridge Elementary.
Last day...sigh...Well, we definately made it count!
First of all, we discovered a love for beach chairs. We will not "beach" any other way again. Nothing better than sitting kicked back with cool waves crashing in on your feet and the warm sun on your face!
Some water for sand castle building.
Lawson's castle complete with a pink and blue flag. This was her design entirely. Daddy was just her lovely assistant.
Hudson designed and built one was well.
Hudson lined up the boogie boards...used the pins from horseshoes game, found a ball and created...beach bowling. He played it for about 2 hours!
About 3 o'clock, it got super cloudy and cooled off to 82 degrees. Can you say fabulous?
We stayed out on the beach until about 7....we just didn't want it to end.
This trip was pretty much perfect!
