Labor Day and Preschool

Yesterday was the Labor Day parade in Decatur. The firemen always walk in it. We took the girls' fire truck and Peyton drove it the whole way. She had her friend Lindsey with her...her daddy works at Stations 3 with Matt. They had a good time! Kalee didn't want to ride the truck. She wanted in her stroller, actually, she was jumping up and down clapping yelling that she got to be in the stroller!!! Who knew strollers were more exciting than battery operated fire trucks?? The girls got a bunch of candy so they were pretty excited about that! Matt was just happy that the firetruck battery lasted the whole parade!!
Today was Peyton's first day of Preschool. She went right in and put her bag away, picked her drink for snack (chocolate milk) and found a puzzle to play with. There were no tears!! (even from me...are you proud?) That is so exciting! Kalee was upset when we had to leave. She said, "I stay with Peyton at school!" But she is happily home now playing with all the toys all by herself, so I guess she got over it. That is Peyton's new teacher in the first picture...Mrs. Richard. The aide, Mrs. Kupish, was there last year, so Peyton is happy that she knows her! Now I am just anxiously awaiting 11:00 so I can go pick her up and hear all about it! I told her we could go to McDonalds or Cracker Barrel for lunch...her two favorite places. She said she wanted to go to McDonalds!

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...
