Gotta love Hurricanes

I can't believe we had a hurricane day the second day of school. Anyway the girls both had family projects for school to do and we had a flower modeling clay project saved just for a rainy day. Thank goodness the storm wasn't too bad.

Hard at work on the flowers

Rylie's class at pre-K is the angel class so we had to decorate an angel...

Gracie's school is the "stars" so we had to decorate a star

Of course there is now glitter all over my floors but they loved decorating so no big deal. I am keeping my fingers crossed that school is open tomorrow as planned.

Big Day at our house

So Gracie started Kindergarten today, and Rylie started Pre-K. They were both thrilled as the alarm clock went off this morning. They have had their clothes layed out for days in anticipation.

Of course Gracie went with not a problem. She told me earlier in the week that I didn't need to walk in that I could just drop her off. Needless to say Mommy wasn't doing that. Got to get a couple of pictures of that first day.

Rylie also marched right into her class and sat down. I am so amazed how much she has changed from this time last year.

When we went to pick up Gracie and Christopher saw her walking in the line he started squealing. It was so cute. She said she had lots of fun and was excited she got to take her lunchbox to a restaurant.
It really stinks that school is canceled tomorrow and probably Wednesday. Praying that everyone stays safe in the storm.

Rylie has dollars

Rylie got some money, or to her dollars, for her birthday. We finally went to her favorite place, Target, and she bought a few things. She was so excited to have her own money in her own purse.

My little slugger

A few shots of Christopher and his favorite toy. Go Red Sox!

A little playdate

We had our playgroup friends over last week. We have been a group for about 4 years but this past year we didn't get together too often. Once the older kids started preschool and school it was really hard for us to make time to get together. We have tried to do some things this summer so everyone came over to swim.
