My baby.. Can READ!!!

Ok so we have been working on it... and she has been "reading" for days now... But everyday it gets easier and easier. We add new sounds and she gets excited and it doesn't slow her down... so far 21 lessons in to Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons. She has learned the sounds for
m, s, a, e, t, r, d, i, th, and she learned c yesterday...
I was so happy I just had to video tape her today

BTW that is her reading yesterday and today's story... She is a reader! At 4 years 6 months old she is a reader... (oh and if anyone is interested I also used this same book with my boys who were also reading before kindergarten)

Excuse the messy hair we do our lessons before we get ready for the day LOL :)

Footprints

Yesterday Hubby had a day off so I took some time to shower and have a moment alone... When I got back downstairs I noticed someone had been in my creamer... and left pretty convincing evidence as to who that had been.....

Yup the little blue eyed angel with creamer all over her mouth... (and feet LOL)

It's FRIDAY

Well today was a nice peaceful Friday. Hubby went to work later so I had a chance to pull out my sewing machine and make the girls some dresses.Not sure why but every time I pull out the camera they "strike a pose" LOL
Run away!!!
I am in LOVE with this picture!
Caitlynn just tagging along behind Brianna
Then after school we played at the playground


Yeah Alex was hiding from my camera...

It was a good day. I also made the girls 2 other dresses and a doll dress... I still have a bunch more to make too :). Now they need some more plain long sleeved tee shirts and tights ;).

Pajama party, At the library!

Ok So I should have posted this last week... but Life got in the way :-P. So Thursday of LAST week we went to the library for a pajama party..It was fun the kids listened to stories
Caitlynn was thrilled to be up past bedtime

It was fun :)Even Nathaniel had a good time..
And hey who doesn't like to go out in their pj's!

Happy Birthday Alexander!

Alexander ... Wow he is turning 7 tomorrow. I can not believe the time has gone so quick. It seems that just the other day he was starting kindergarten but now here he is a big first grader. It doesn't seem possible that a year has gone by. Though it also seems like just the other day he was my teeny tiny toddler. wow... Really that is all the words I have for now :)

Now for the cake, Alex bounced between ideas for cakes He wanted a pokeball cake (which he had pokeball cupcakes last year) he wanted me to make it specific pokemon.. which is something beyond my skill LOL. He wanted ben 10, Zelda and so on and so forth. But he also LOVES Super Mario Brothers So I decided this year he will get a surprise cake! I found some pictures I KNOW i could make, and went to work....

I think he will be happy! (btw he hasn't seen it yet LOL)

Playing outside and splashing in puddles....

This morning Hubby had to go to training so It was my job to get all the kids up and dressed and out the door to get the boys to school. Normally when this happens we plan an early wake up get everything ready and head to the school 30 min. early so the kids can play on the playground (and so that we miss the horrible traffic between here and there. This morning though it decided to be so dreary.. and it rained.... but the kids still had a good time :)Hiding :)

Just what every mom wants to see, her kids climbing on wet metal bars....
I'm a little airplane!
"watch me!!!!" That is what I heard for the 30 min.we were playing
And here is Alex being a goof

Then on the way home the girls couldn't resist the draw of the puddles!

First day of school!!!!

Ok the boys were aggravating yesterday.. They were being goofy.. They really didn't want their pictures taken

yes... SEE!!!!
Oh here is another example...but the BEST example is next...
Yeah... Those are my boys... Ready for the first day of school LOL.
Then the girls.. We got ready to go get the boys They were sooooo excited
(Oh and they had cookies)
For dinner we made "pasta bowls" like at dominos... It was yummy and gave leftover past a new life :). We made 5, 3 were chicken and penne with a pesto sauce, 2 were chicken alfredo with homemade noodles.
Then after dinner we went outside with some ice cream.

I now know how to get better pictures... give them ice cream!

The boys had a great day at school yesterday, both of them like their teachers, neither of them got in trouble :) They were very happy!
