Grandparents Day at Preschool

Today was Grandparents visit day at Preschool. Grandma, Grandpa, Nan, Kalee and me all went to visit Peyton's classroom. I think she was pretty excited to have them all there. They got to see her room, hear her say her prayers, watch her paint, do her "9's" worksheets and play on the playground. We also went to the art fair in the gym and got to see her painting of flowers. Here are some pictures, though apparently I had a huge smudge on my lens and didn't know it, so there is a blurry spot on all of them. GRRR!! We met Daddy at Buffalo Wold Wings for a special lunch afterwards. He is teaching at Richland today, so he couldn't come to school.

Kalee loves going to school too!! She always tells us that "Peytee...school...backpack!!"Hugging Everyone when she was done painting. As Nan pointed out, when she has a task to do, she is very intent upon finishing it. So when they all walked in, she was painting and didn't really pay much attention to us!Showing Kalee and Papa her artwork!Showing nan her painting. This is the first time Nan has seen her hair in person! Singing "Open, Shut them, Open, Shut them...close them with a clap!!" to pray.
Now the girls are off to stay with Gma and Gpa for the night. Matt's captain's mom passed away on Wednesday after a heart attack. (I keep saying Captain...I guess I am not sure if that is right. He could be a lieutenant...whatever, not important. Matt's friend...) Her visitation is this evening in Belleville, so we are going to that. Then in the morning he is going to try to get my bathroom ready to paint. It is another of our ongoing (what's it been 4 months now!!) home improvements. We have popcorn ceilings in the bedrooms and my bathroom and it fell down on me one day in the shower. So he had to scrape it all off and re mud it. We are refinancing our mortgage, so have to have an appraiser come out. He thinks it needs to be finished before this guy comes. He also says he is going to finish replacing the light switches in the entry and get all of that finished except for the trim. Then we are off to see Molly Jo again!! They got to go home today, so I am anxious to get to finally hold her!! Sweet babe!!

I have to show off my tulips. I spent forever planting them around our two trees, along our entryway, and driveway last fall and they are almost all up and so pretty!! The funny thing is that I swore I planted multicolored ones...but I ended up with basically all white and then these 12 colored ones. Oh well. They make me happy!

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
