First Day of School

Claire started her first day of kindergarten on Friday.  She had a great day.  She is making new friends enjoying being in kindergarten.


Nile had his first day of third grade on Thursday.  He had a great day.  He has lots of friends in his class and his teacher is nice.  So for the kids first day of school, I thought I would make them a special cake.  So I started making the cake and I was using some pumpkin to make the cake healthier and I sliced my thumb on the can.  Blood was gushing every where.  I was a little freaked out.  My friend Kim came over and took Brent to her house and I drove myself over to the Urgent Care center where I received three stitches.  I was in out of the Urgent Care center in record time, 45 minutes.  I drove home and picked up the kids from Kim's house and then finished making the cake.

B is all Potty Trained!!!



After we got back from vacation, I decided to start the potty training process with Brent.  He was ready and is doing so awesome.  He decided  to pack up all of his diapers and gave them to his friend Jackson.  He told me he didn't need them any more because he was a big boy.  He has been my easiest child to potty train.


Breaking Dawn

Vampire Girls at Rainy Day Books
Kim, Trina, Jen, me, and Maren

I picked up my copy of Breaking Dawn at midnight on Friday night.  When Stephanie Meyer had come to town back in May I pre-ordered Breaking Dawn and also got a copy of the Host.  We were supposed to get a special gift, it turns out we got autographed copies of Breaking Dawn.  I was so excited.  I was able to finish the book yesterday.  I thought it was great and the best book of the series.
