Thanksgiving Feast

Jett had a feast at school today. He was so excited to have his Daddy there. Moving him to a new school this year was one of the best decisions we have made for him. His has grown up so much these last few months. We are do proud of him.

P.S.
He loves his class birds...Scooter and Skeeter. Tweet!

BACK TO SCHOOL!

We are BACK TO SCHOOL in our house! 

Seri is now a 2nd grader!  Isn't she looking old? 

(Excuse me while I wipe the tears.)

 Jett is off to his last year of preschool at a new Montessori School! 

(Ok, more tears.)

We are struggling getting out of bed early and heading out the door on time, but it will come.  That's what happens after a nice long summer. 

Art Show

Jett had his first 

Preschool ART SHOW 

tonight. 

 Bravo Buddy!

Happy Monday

Jett brought Share Bear from preschool home for the week. We have been planning all of our fun activities so he can have a lot of fun while he is with us.  He, along with all of our other teddy bears, had dinner at the table tonight.  I didn't have a chair but that's ok.

  They all joined us for a "bear" movie tonight too.  

I think it's going to be a "beary" good week.  

Ha.

Miss Seri got 100% on her spelling test.  

A shout out to Dad for helping her on her spelling.  

She likes how he teaches her better than me.  

I think she has had enough of  Mama Teacher sometimes.  

Ha. 

My Star of the Week

Jett is the STAR OF THE WEEK at preschool this week.  His poster hangs in the hallway outside his classroom.  

We are all so proud of him, especially his Mama. 

Man, he is cute.  

Parent Volunteer

On Monday I got to be a parent volunteer for the first time.  For 11 years I have had parent volunteers in my classroom and have appreciated all of their help.  Today I got to help in Jett's classroom.  He was so excited and so proud to have me there.  We sat together during calendar, did centers together, read books together, had snack and played outside.  I had so much fun meeting all of his friends that he talks about and loved learning his routine so I can ask him more detailed questions about his day.  

Our week. Lots of Pictures. Beware.

This week was busy.  

The kids painted their ornaments they created last week after school one day. 

I love Mod Podge.

Jett is so proud of his Santa.  

It still amazes me.  

We had so much fun finishing it off with glitter.

I'm in love with Jett's snowman and

Seri's tree turned reindeer after she painted it.

Their hand prints turned out adorable.

 I did a lot of Christmas shopping online and the boxes have started to arrive.  

 Jett had his Christmas program this week.  His goal was to participate.  He wasn't too excited.  I don't think our boy is going to be a performer.  He did a great job.  He didn't sing much but he at least stood there quietly.  That is BIG for him.

 I love this picture because he never slows down.

 Today was a day of laundry, play and relaxing.

 I found these sweet little ornaments.  

Jett and Seri were so excited to open them this morning for their advent gift.

 First Christmas without my brown man.  

Miss him still everyday.

 Look who did the laundry without being asked.  BIG PROGRESS!  

 We were so lucky to get a house with a pencil sharpener.  Don't be jealous.  

I left it up.  It makes me laugh, especially how high up it is placed.   

It's actually very handy to have.  

Now that Seri has homework, we use it a lot.   

 The big red pillow BALL is my thrift store find this week.  Love it.

 There was a Santa band performance this afternoon.  Jett on drums (with spoons as drumsticks since he can't find his) and Seri was the singer.

 Santa came to town and we had to visit him.  

Jett asked for 100 books, art stuff and Rudolph.

 Seri asked for a ballerina outfit for 

her and her doll.

 Jett went right to work writing Santa a letter when we got home.  

 I love the holiday season, especially experiencing it through the eyes of my little ones. 

One busy week is done.  

Tomorrow starts another one.  

5 more days until 14 days off.  

Hallelujah.
