TGIF Trains

One of our last summer bucket list items was to ride the train uptown. We see the train often and since our kids love Chuggington we knew they would love the train ride!

I only took a few pics on the train because people were looking at us like we were crazy haha! We took the train all the way uptown to imaginon library. It was fairy tale week and they had awesome exhibits set up with different classic stories.

Ellie loved the Thumbelina story.

Ryan tried Cinderella's glass slipper on E.

The overall crowd pleaser was Jack and the Bean Stocks slide!

We went to a yummy pizza place uptown after we played. This is such a fun age, I just love watching the kids observe new environments.

We took the train back to our car and then hurried home for naps. Then Ryan and I headed to the Florida Georgia Line and Jason Aldean concert. I LOVE Florida Georgia and Jason Aldean had lots of hits too! The highlight for me was the people watching. I swear country concerts provide constant entertainment with the crowd they attract!!

Love Family Fridays! I need to start working on our fall bucket list now!!!!

G's first haircut

Recently Graham's hair has been business in the front, party in the back. Not a good kind of party though, more like a 70's party! Ryan finally put his foot down and said he needed a hair cut. I was for sure that he would cry and not like it....now I wouldn't say he liked it, but there were no tears and no fussing. He kept leaning forward like it tickled or annoyed him that someone was messing with him. He also brought along his Fireman to help make him brave! Here you can see the full mullet haha!

"Hey Dad I am being brave just like you asked!"

I was trying to show him videos on my phone, but he wasn't to interested.

"Mom don't leave....just stay right there"

All done!

Since he was so good he got a token and prize!

It will be a while before Ellie gets hers cut. She has the best hair and beautiful curls that I don't want to touch anytime soon!

1st day of preschool!

It was a big week for the twinkies (and me). They started preschool this week. We have been anticipating this week for a while now! On Tuesday we had Meet the Teacher day and today, Thursday, was our first official day of school! Meet the teachers went great! After a minor meltdown when we first arrived (school is in the same room as Sunday School which they HATE). When they realized I wasn't leaving them they calmed down and played!

We prepared the twins for their big day by reading The Night Before Preschool.

And today they were all smiles before school!

I packed their lunch and bags for the day!

They held hands all the way to their class:)

We coordinated outfits with some of our sweet friends. This pic just says T-R-O-U-B-L-E to me haha!

Both cried when I dropped them off.....ok not just cried, they screamed! And then I cried....but several sweet friends saw them happy and sent me pictures!

G looks like he is still not so sure about school, but at least there are no tears!

Overall I am so proud of them for being so brave the first day away from me. Given how they act during Sunday School I consider just a few tears a huge success!!! As hard as it was to leave them today I know that school is such a good and positive thing. They will learn so much in school and meet so many friends as well as give me a chance to get a few things done without two little rascals needing my attention!

Labor Day Week...End of Summer

We had a fun filled jam packed week and weekend this Labor Day! We recently purchased a season membership for several local kids museums. We got our money worth this week!!! Lots of our friends also have a membership so we played there almost every day this past week!

Two days we stayed so long that we packed lunches and had picnics outside!

We played lots with our sweet neighbors. My kids are obsessed with their buddies Carter and Holden. Holden drove very slow so they could both ride in his new car.
