A little peak...

...into Blake's classroom. He has Mrs. Taylor in the 4 year old preschool class. They sign in every morning and learn so much! He is already more than ready for K5!

Birthday party day

We are all decorated, per Delaney's instruction. She wanted princess stuff everywhere, that is what she got. She told me what kind of cupcakes (rainbow), and who to invite, cousins only. She was on top of the world with all the party stuff. She enjoyed her gifts, princess Candy Land, dress up Cinderella and Belle, cake 3D puzzle, spiralgraph art set, a bouncy horse, art stuff, and a waitress outfit. She loves dress up, so that was a big hit. She changes outfits about every hour around here lately.

She had the boys color princess masks to join in on the fun. They happily colored away.

Daddy made hamburgers and hotdogs while everyone played outside.

We are so blessed to have two happy families that love being together and have wonderful relationships. We are a normal family in a world that doesn't have many normal families left, we are so blessed with love and happiness with health and love.

We are and busted the piƱata. We started youngest first and Blake busted it, the big kids didn't get a chance. It was a cupcake and had very heavy candy, so it split right on the cupcake to icing part. Oh well.

 

After the family left I crashed for an hour, but the kids stayed going strong, we finished the night with a game like we do often and tears in the shower at 7, so I carried the princess to bed early....what a fulfilled weekend!

Sleep tight Cinderella!

Birthday girl!

Our little joyful girl is 4 today! It was fun celebrating together as a family and not having much to do but enjoy each other, I try to savor these days, I know we won't have them forever.

 

Birthday dinner

The look on her face at Charandas tonight while they sang happy birthday in Spanish to her was priceless. She was so worried.

 

Beautiful 4 year old

A young lady ready to conquer the 4 year old world! Full of joy and excitement, especially about her favorite gift, a pencil sharpener that we decorated with princess stickers.

 

Art Gala

A fun event every year to raise money for the Art's Gala!

The rest of the week

Chores, games, homework, snack, and bath, fun week with cousin Coalson! We discovered this week that Blake does great with sight words and reading, he has his own words and books now to practice. He's got the beginning skills and is off to a good start!
