327/365

Last night we had a celebration/graduation party for the kids and families of LKP (Little Kids Preschool).  If you didn’t know, for the past 2 years we have been a part of a small homeschooling co-op with 5 other families.  It really was a fun experience and Haleigh loved going to “basement school” twice a week.  She called it basement school because we set up the “classroom” in the basement of a friend’s house. We all took turns teaching through the year.  Haleigh treasures the friends she has made there and they have certainly grown and learned a lot together.  I have posted a few pics of Haleigh graduating but refrained from group photos since not everyone has given me permission to post photos of their children on my blog!  ;)  And now they are “big kids” as they all kept saying and ready to move on to preschool next year.  I say this with bittersweet tears.  My baby girl is getting so big but I just love watching her learn and grow. 

In addition to the celebration we discovered that James loves light sabers!!  Oh my goodness did they have fun playing with those.  The friends house  that we were at has two boys and I kept seeing the light sabers come out…I counted ten total and was cracking up that they owned that many.  It worked out perfect for the party as all of the kids were running around with them and having a blast.  I’m wondering when James will be getting his first now because he was talking about it before bed last night!!  Too cute!

Is the “tomato” coming?  We have had some nasty storms here in SW Ohio!  We had to proceed to the basement on this evening and Haleigh kept asking if the tomatoes were coming?  I explained to her that it was a tornado rather than a tomato…LOL.  Poor little thing, she is just terrified of inclement weather right now.  I do love the fact that she finds comfort in simply holding my hand: little does she know that I’m not a fan of storms either and take comfort in her hand too!!

I’m always interested to see how they look when I go to get them from naptime---especially Haleigh!

Ok, I opened the deck door and Haleigh shouts “back up, I’ve got my pezzariser” (sound it out and that is how she said it).  Only Haleigh would come up with a name like that for a watering wand.  Note that she is outside in her Disney store exclusive Tiana dress.  It was a must wear outside today and I wasn’t up for the fight to make her put on something else.  Let’s just say i was  picking rocks and grass out of the taffeta!

The weather didn’t hold off long enough for them to play very long on their new sprinklers.  Their teeth were chattering in no time because of the wind and hiding sun.  But this is going to be a fun contraption to have in the heat of the summer.  James had one in each hand ready to “draw” whenever Haleigh came near.  She didn’t think his game was as fun as he did!!

This was Haleigh’s bun that I had done on Thursday for her dance pictures! Can you believe that is her hair?  It only took about 20 bobby pins and a truck load of spray and about 17 complaints from her!  ;)  But she liked it when it was all said and done.

Haleigh and James were playing in the chapel at church.  They didn’t know I was paying attention.  James was upfront singing and Haleigh was in the the pews directing.  It was funny; she was moving her arms and everything.  These came off of my iphone so I couldn’t get it all in the pic!

Love to see Haleigh and her daddy…

Ok, poor James.  Haleigh put this on his head and said, “you can get married now.”  He didn’t leave it on (thankfully) after he looked at himself in the mirror.

The kids loved the bunnies!  James was actually very gentle.  He is still talking about them!
