Lily's 1st day of PreK

Well, I am only 2 weeks late posting this!  Lily had a great first day (and first 2 weeks) of PreK.  She goes to school 3 days a week, which is leaving her pretty tired all week long.  I can't wait until I adjust to her school schedule so I can start getting lots done!  At least that is the plan.  Lily loves her new teacher already, and she has friends from her previous classes in with her this year, so she's excited.

What a morning...

While I have no pictures of this one...
I woke up this morning and realized Lily had gotten up before me and was attempting to bathe the cat.  Unfortunately he wouldn't stay in the bathroom, so she was filling a big plastic cup with kitty shampoo and water and dumping it on him in the gameroom.  Our carpet was drenched, the cat was covered in soap, and had subsequently run and climbed INTO my bed to hide, so now my bed is soaking, and the bathroom is covered in water and soap.  I guess there are worse things...

A New Haircut

 

Lily got a new haircut!  Yay!  No more fighting over tangles and ponytails and braids!  So fair the haircut really is super cute and has made my life easier.  I am now encouraging her to brush her own hair, which is a little more reasonable without the tangle issue.
We got the haircut after meet the teacher day which was this last Thursday.  She starts PreK on Tuesday, and I am sure I will post more pictures.  She walked into the classroom to meet her teacher, looked at her cubby with her name on it "Lily", and turned to the teacher and said "um, you spelled my name wrong.  It's L-i-l-l-y."  The poor teacher felt so bad and apologized and then I informed her that she didn't spell Lil's name wrong, Lily has taken it upon herself to change the spelling of her name. What can you do?

Corpus Christi!

So I just wanted to post (belatedly, I know) some pictures from our Corpus Christi trip.  Two very good friends and I went on a road trip with the kids at the beginning of August.  We got to see the aquarium, lots of beach(our hotel was RIGHT on the beach), a splash pad (at the aquarium), we even got to drive our car down the beach (something that you do not get to do in San Diego- so quite an adventure!) It was so much fun and the kids had a blast.  Lily refused to nap and got way overtired after a day and a half, but we still managed to have fun.  Our only incident on the trip was when Lily ran in front of the Sonic waitress and she fell over (she was on skates, poor thing).  Unfortunately she was carrying a tray of food at the time, luckily it wasn't ours. :)
