Monet...

 

One day last year Bode came home from school and asked me if I knew who Monet was. I told him Claude Monet is my favorite impressionist artist. I showed him books that I have of his work. The next week he came home with this piece of art work. He said he did his best to make a Monet for me. I LOVE it. I'm currently looking for a frame to frame it and put it on a gallery wall in the family room.

First day of school 2014...

 

First day of kindergarten! She was all ready to go. I only she'd a few tears :) big girl!

 

First day of 3rd grade! He is most excited about getting to have a class on the second floor of school.

 

First day of kinder and 3rd grade! I think you can see Laine's little bit of nerves in her classroom picture. Bode was ready for us to leave. Piper was not happy to not go to class and cried for Bode when we left.

 

I wasn't weepy until Bode started walking Laine to the kinder hall. For as much as they fight and push each others buttons, they love each other. I'm glad they have each other.

August 2014...

 

Breaking in new preschool puzzles today. Like the one on one time with her.

The sleepy cat...

Toothless scout...

August 2014...

 

Trying to decide what to have for lunch but don't want to disturb the cat. He likes the growing bump.

One last get away before school...

 

Snuggling Maggie on the porch. Listening to the rain and waiting for the cookies to come out of the oven. Good day.

 

How long did your child keep up an afternoon nap? I'm not letting Piper, who is 2 1/2, give hers up anytime soon. Just curious. PS... One week till school starts! Yay!

 

Laine helped give Maggie a bath today. They shared a blanket to warm up. Sweet dog.

 

Not sure there is a happier two year old anywhere today. Loving playing with the neighbors kittens. All three of them are begging to take them home

 

Enjoying the cool breeze and green grass
