Well, I'm trying to download some pictures on here, but not sure it is going to work...
Jillian started Kindergarten on Wednesday August 1, 2012. Her favorite thing was recess & lunch. But thankfully, she wants to go back so far everyday! That is a good sign. She seems like even a bigger girl than she did before last Wednesday, which I know is silly of me, but that's how I feel. We have started picking out her clothes the night before, which seems to help the morning go a little more smoothly. We went to Back to School night the other night. Sounds like Kindergarten is pretty simple. LOL. She will have homework starting in September, so we will see how we can work that into our schedule. Sounds like it may be sent home on Monday & due back on Friday, so it may not be that bad. She does have "specials" every day of the week, which makes me happy. Art, music & library are the 3 I'm excited about, she seems to like those 3 things the most, with art being at the top. I still can't believe she is in Kindergarten!!
Carleigh turned 2 yesterday! We went down to Darcy & Kenny's for a pool party/cook out. Unfortunately, it rained while we were down there. And honestly, I was busy doing things, that I felt I didn't get to spend time with the family or even help prepare the food or anything. Kenny grilled the food and Darcy got most of it prepared.I really don't know what I was doing to make the time go by so fast, but I guess I was because I don't feel like I swam or visited. Carleigh was so funny when opening her gifts. Everytime she saw something, she would scream! At one point in time, she got a DVD & ran around a chair with it raised in the air & screaming. Then she saw a shirt from someone that she must not have thought too much of because she didn't scream & just kind of stuck out her bottom lip! And it wasn't because it was clothes because she had screamed at some other clothes she got! I think it was a decent party, for the most part, I guess. Carleigh wouldn't really leave my sight! I did help clean up & while I was doing the dishes, Rhianna kept her & Jillian busy in the living room.
Hopefully, I will have more time soon & download some pics of the first day of school & Carleighs birthday party!
