Claire's Special Day

Claire had her "Special Day" in preschool on Tuesday. Since she has a summer birthday, they do a special day for them during the year. She was so excited about it. She got a special hat, I made a poster of pictures of her to take, and she got to take a treat to share. It was so fun. I went and talked to the kids about the pictures. She was adorable and loved it. She also got to be in charge that day and didn't have to do any homework. I love her preschool and her teachers, it is great! Here cupcakes were so cute, but boy that frosting stains. "Sorry mom's!"







Later that day, She invited her friend Marlie Hall over to play. They had so much fun playing outside. Bo played with them too. He loves being out there and gets so mad when he had to come inside.

Ivie's First Valentine

So, the funniest thing happened yesterday. I went to pick the kids up from school (we do a car pool with the neighbors and I do pick-up duty). Ivie and her friend Gracie come running out with big smiles on their faces. Gracie says, "Sarah, Ivie's in love." Of course Ivie responds, "No I'm not Mom, this boy is in love with me." She proceeds to show me this darling card that this boy made her, plus a store bought card, and a cute little boy box of chocolates. I thought it was so sweet. We were laughing so hard. Then when we got in the car, Ivie starts to tell me that the previous day the same boy told her that he had $40 and that his mom said he could take her to dinner. He told her that she could choose whereever she wanted to go.

Anyway the whole thing made me laugh, it made my day. Ivie is such a sweet girl. I am so grateful for her, she a big helper. The only bad thing was that then she had to tell her dad about it and he did not like it at all!
