Backup Post: Chloe's Halloween Party

Backup Post: Caelyn's School Halloween Party

You can kind of see her "wicked" shirt I made her for Halloween.

It's been a month!!

I can't believe it has been a month since our last post. I really need to get on top of things. So what has been going on you ask, well the girls are settled into their school routines. Chloe goes in her class with no problems. Caelyn and I have established a great routine to set her in a wonderful mood for the day. After we wash our hands and drop Chloe off, her and I walk to her class. She gets her name tag and places it on the wall while I sign her in. Then with my help she hangs her coat and backpack up. Then she picks out a book and we sit and read the book together. She knows she gets one book and when I am done reading she gives me a kiss and puts the book away. Some days she still tells me she doesn't want me to go but she will not cry. Caelyn loves her teachers Ms. Tina and Ms. Anna. I have actually oferheard her a couple times telling Ms. Anna that she loves her and will miss her.

We had our family pictures take for our Holiday Cards. I think they turned out great. Thi year we just opted to family pictures instead of putting the girls in their Christmas outfits (well in all honestly we hadn't found dresses we likes - we being my mom and I..lol). The ones here are not those used on the card, but still ones I like. =)

I will be updating the bolg with many things we have done in the last month. The girls and I went to a Fairy Tale Tea Party with our friend Olivia and her mommy Leanne. We went to Gabe's first birthday party as well as our friends The Tucker Boys (I will have to tell you about them. They are special and awesome little boys!!).

I have been crafting alot since my work has slowed down. Our last wedding of the year was Nov 13. I also gained some more responsibility with Proposing Dreams. I am currently being trained for being a lead Coordinator. I know the behind the scene stuff very well, and I am working on fine tuning being at the weddings. I loved the 3 I did this year and I hope I get the chance to do more. Also with work, I am training to sell Destination Weddings and Honeymoons. The goal is to make Proposing Dreams your one stop wedding coordinators. We truely would like to see you through the start and finish of your wedding planning. I actually last week just booked our first (meaning it was actually sold and booked by ME!) Destination Wedding. The couple will be getting married in Las Vegas.

So I haven't really been slcaking to much I have been busy. But look for some cool updates tha tI mentioned above and you will also get to see all the mischief our Elves Shimmer and Twinkle have been getting into since they arrived.

2010-2011 first Day of School

I waited a bit to post this because I wanted to also post the pictures of Caelyn as well. So why did I have to wait you ask, well because Caelyn's birthday isn't until September 3, she could not start preschool until after she turned 2. For the past three weeks she would be so excited to take Chloe to school and she wanted to stay at school herself. I felt so bad that she couldn't stay. Well today was finally the day. Thankfully Dave was off cause I figured I would be a crying mess, but I was not. We all went into Caelyn's room with her and dropped her off. Chloe helped Caelyn find her nam and put it on the attendance board, then I helped her hang her backpack up. Daddy got her at the table to play with a try activity then she started to catch on. Chloe gave her a kiss, then I did, but when Daddy when to give her his kiss, she didn't want him to leave. She was a big girl though and didn't cry, she just didn't want him to leave (so much for wanting mommy). So we had to change the game plan a bit and let Dave leave first while the teacher tried to distract her. But as fair as we could tell she didn't cry.

Chloe on the other had was a pro on her first day of school (August 17). She knew where her name was and what locker was her to put her stuff in. She litterally kissed Caelyn and I while pushing us out the door. She was so excited to start the new school year and make new friends.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss

I promise I will post about Chloe's birthday in as soon as possible, but I wanted to take a moment to say Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss. Today at Chloe's school they celebrated by hosting a Green Eggs and Ham breakfast as well as having is be silly hat day.

You can also see the awesome shirt my aunt Lisa and Jennifer made Chloe for her birthday. I got so many complements on it during her friends' party. =)

Giraffe Room Holiday Party

Chloe had her holiday party on the last day of school for 2009. I was the the Committee Captain once again. I do love doing it. =) We had ice cream cupcakes for snack then we had 2 crafts, a picture ornament and a sun catcher, then the kids were able to toss "snow balls" through Frosty's belly and play musical chairs. It was alot of fun and I always look forward to spending time with Chloe in her class.

Cookies with Santa

Lindbergh's PAT group held their annual Cookies with Santa Wednesday Dec 9. Dave and I took the girls there to do some fun activities and visit with Santa again (the post yesterday shows how well the Santa visit went).

This is the second time we have went to it. Last year Chloe wouldn't get near the Santa either. Besides getting to visit with Santa, they always have come crafts and activities to do while there. Chloe made a jingle bell bracelet, gingerbread house, place mat, and reindeer food.

LECE School Halloween

Chloe's school had their annual Halloween parade and party on Oct 29th. Chloe was a doctor for her school party (and what she was "suppose to be for Halloween, but she had other plans). The parade is where all part day classes meet in the Action Room, sing songs, parade their costumes off, and the LECE staff puts on a Halloween themed play. It is a good time for the parents and kids. Caelyn so badly wanted to join in the fun, next year she will be able too. The party was a success as well. I volunteered to chair it this year and had a good time putting it together and getting to know the new mom's in this year's class. We had a trail mix snack (popcorn, pretzels and candy), a ghost craft, and 2 games (Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin and Darts). I think the kids had a lot of fun and I had alot of parents comment about how fun the party was. Like last year we learned about how the kids do with the party and know what to change for the next one.

LECE Vehicle Fair

This past Saturday Chloe's school held their annual Vehical Fair. It wasa cool day, but still a very nice one. This year there were more cars than I have ever seen there. There were 2 police cars, one police motorcycle, 2 fire trucks, an ambulance, a military humve, a show car (not sure what it was and I forgot to ask Dave), a jeep, a couple vans, a UPS truck, an Amern UE truck, a SWAT truck, and a helicopter. It was alot of fun.
They even had a bunch of power wheels there for the kids to drive. It was nice that those were there cause Chloe has been saying she wants Santa to bring her the "pink car" everytime we are at Walmart. That pink car the Mustang.

First Day of School!!!

Today was Chloe's first day of preschool for the 2009-2010 school year. I think I was a little more excited than she was to go. I mean what will I do for the 3 hours she is there?? The possibilities are endless, but I will probably be at the new office with Sabrina.

This year Chloe is in Rm 14 and is a Giraffe. Her teachers are Ms. Debbie and Ms. Day. I know she will have lots of fun and learn so many new things. The best part about school is that she goes with Miss A and Miss O. She was excited to see them today, but not about me leaving. I would have bet money that she would have threw a fit, but she proved me wrong. She only had one issue and that was when I went to leave the first time. Ms. Day came over to "distract" Miss A and Chloe while Megan and I walked out and Chloe, being the smart one she is, caught and and came running. I went back by her for about 30 seconds then snuck out and she didn't even know I left. Can't wait to hear about how the day went and I hope Thursday goes just as smooth.
