Another beautiful day of fun!!

The girls and I decided to enjoy the gorgeous weather today. Mom invited us out to her house and we went to lunch and then over to the park and beach to play. We played in the sand for an hour and then headed over to the park, we were outside all day and it was so nice. On the way back to Mom's we stopped at Licks for some ice cream to complete our day. Thanks Mom, we all had a lot of fun!

When we showed up there was a bulldozer leveling out the beaches, he left mounds and tracks, perfect to play in!
this is the prettiest park with the lake in the background
Reagan was in rock heaven!
"funny face" had to come out for pictures


all 3 of us enjoyed the seesaw
No lifeguards were on duty so Piper and Grandma took a turn - Piper was terrified to be up that high and wanted down immediately, she's white knuckling it here

1st week of school done!

Well Piper finished her 1st week at her new preschool. She loves it and had a great time all week (except for the egg). I decided to have a fun Friday and took the girls to the zoo since it was relatviely nice outside. We decided to take a path we haven't taken before and found the farm. We got to see a milking demonstration and then baby calves, pigs, goats, chickens, and rabbits.

Reagan has had a pretty rough week adjusting to the new schedule. She's been hinting at one nap per day so I thought we'd start it out while Piper's at school. We drop her off and come home to nap until it's time to pick her back up. It works great for me but Reagan is really ready to nap around 11:45 and I have to keep her awfully busy until 12:40 when we get home.

Saturday, Jason and I decided to take the girls to the IMAX theatre for a 3-D movie. Piper didn't want to wear her glasses at first but then she got the hang of the idea and was reaching up to grab things flying at her. It was pretty funny. Reagan made it through the entire 90 minute movie, just supply her with snacks and she's pretty content. I have never seen a 3-D movie and wasnt' sure how I'd make it since I get motion sick so easily. I came out feeling pretty good but as the day went on my head starting killing me. I liked it but don't think I'll sign myself up to go back anytime soon.

Piper's new friend Gabbi, it was Gabbi's 3rd birthday and she was going to Chuck E Cheese for dinner, Piper was so jealous, I think she wanted to crash the party.

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty..... Piper had to bring a hard boiled egg to school today. I think I built up her protecting the darn thing a little too much. At school they played Humpty Dumpty and tossed their eggs off the wall. Well Piper brought her egg home, her teacher said that it looked like she was going to cry so she let her keep it intact. Well it made it home and we took pictures of the cute little "she" egg......

here she is, a proud egg Mommy
Ooops - I knocked it out of her hand by accident and all he!! broke loose. She was so upset, poor little thing. I had to agree to make more this weekend but I warned her that it was going to be egg salad sandwhiches. We will see how that goes.

Another 1st day of preschool

Piper had another 1st day of school today. This time she's enrolled in a really great preschool here in Bloomington. Her teacher said while she was one of the youngest she kept up really great and they didn't need to scale anything back to a lower level (I think she was just talking about art mainly). That's what a Mom wants to hear. Go Piper go! She was so excited to put on her backpack and she just ran right up and into class. It was not at all like the old school where I had to walk her in and give her extra reassurance and then she would have to run to the window to wave goodbye.

She even smiled nicely and didn't do her "funny face". What a cutie!
And Miss Reagan, she decided to head butt Piper' dresser right before we went to school, she wanted a nice new bruise to celebrate Piper's 1st day. This is such a rare photo of her smiling, I rarely catch her smile in pictures.
