Annalise's SECOND day of preschool

Well, someone must have got a better night's sleep and the weather report because she was all ready to go to school on the second day. I think all the fun she had on the first day really helped her get excited. And she is eating lunch at school everyday and that is pretty exciting too. We managed to get the socks, shoes and jacket on and even upgraded to pants! Thanks for the new outfit Grandma and Grandpa Seibert.
Later, the neighborhood troop decided to recreate some still life portait of some children having tea. If it weren't for the bar fridge, you would probably recognize this for fine art!

Warning, this video is not for the squimish. Evie's tooth had become so loose that she could wiggle it just by breathing!

Annalise's First day of preschool

It was a rough morning on the first day of preschool. First, the weather went from 90 degrees on Saturday to 48 degrees on Tuesday morning. Annalise didn't get the memo and was all set on wearing a t shirt, skort and sandals on the first day of school. Imagine her horror when she discovered that I planned to make her wear shoes, socks and a jacket.Needless to say, she was less than excited about getting extra clothes on and didn't want to have her picture taken.
At one point, I thought she might walk to preschool. That would have saved me some time in the drop off line.

I did eventually get her in the car and strapped in. She cried all the way to school. But when it was her turn to get out, she was all smiles and excited. Once she went inside, she had a great day and lots of fun.

The Super Fun Meyer Labor Day Birthday party

Our final stop on our Labor Day northwest Ohio tour was to the Meyer Labor Day Cookout. We still hadn't time to have Georgie and Annalise's Birthday party so we took the party to to cookout. We celebrated Annalise's 5th birthday, Georgie's 1st Birthday and the Anniversary of Nick's 21th birthday.

Natalie must have been thinking about how much fun she had playing in the school bus back there in the background. all the kids took turns opening the door and honking the horn.

Grandma catches a squeeze with the indecent baby. Not a baby anymore! She can walk.

We gave JoJo a name puzzle. She has a lot of letters to learn.

Oliver took his own money and gave annalise a gift of Legos. She was pretty excited to have her very own set and managed to put all the models together.

We all got to go on the tractor ride through the woods. Our kids are still talking Nick's crazy stories and the "Wild" Natalie in the woods.

We were even treated to a sunset tour. It was wonderful and the kids had a great time. Finish it all off with a fire and you get some tired, dirty kids. Thanks for hosting, Jeff and Jane!
