School and other things...

Bentley had PJ Day at school and was so excited. He asks to have PJ day again quite frequently. When Presley had PJ day, she refused to wear PJs to school.



Now that they all ride without training wheels, they do a lot of bike riding!



Bentley was playing with his Minecraft Toy in Car Lane one day.



Presley rode her bike home from school one day.





This is one of Presley's writing assignments. Translation: I was waiting for my cousin to come to my house.



Here is another one. Translation: She got to my house. My cousin's name is Addie. I got to hold her on the couch.



A few pictures Bentley's teacher sent me of him at school.



After a haircut at the barber shop.



This was after an Indoor Soccer Game.



A note to the Tooth Fairy from Presley. Translation: Dear Tooth Fairy, I wish that you will give me a lot of money. You can see her tooth taped to the bottom.



Presley dressed up like a 100 year old for her 100th day of school.



And apparently if Presley had $100, she would buy gum.



Another Friday morning at Good Morning Pink. Presley was excited for us to see her new Kindergarten Chant and they won the spirit stick.



Bentley entertained himself by taking pictures of his toys.



Our house has officially become a nerf gun war zone.



The kids got to swim in the hot tub one warm day.



I usually don't like to cook on the weekends but Mikey had a craving for a nice steak dinner. We cooked together and grilled steaks and made homemade mashed potatoes and homemade onion straws.



Presley will kill me one day when she reads this but it has to be documented. One night while I was cooking dinner, Presley said she wanted to tell me something but she was being shy. So she went upstairs and wrote this and gave it to me.



Translation: BOYFRIEND. What??? She is in Kindergarten. She is smitten with her classmate Smith. She says that he doesn't know it, but he is her boyfriend. Cute, but scary!!

We finally started patching Kiley's eye. Over the Summer, her right eye started turning in. It was because of her astigmatism. Before she got glasses, her left eye was doing all of the work so her brain shut down her right eye. We have to patch it two hours per day to try to strengthen the right eye and hopefully prevent surgery.



Some couch snuggles with Mommy.



Our neighbor gave the kids this Hillary mask...



All 5 of us went to Target together one Saturday. The boys rode their bikes and the girls walked. Of course Mikey ended up waiting outside with them while I shopped...



Some of Bentley's artwork on the fence.



The Sunday before we left for Spring Break, the kids were invited to a birthday party at Pump It Up. Mikey took all 3 kids and let me stay home to pack. Thanks honey!

The Adventures of Babysitting!

We absolutely love babysitting Cousin Addie. She is so sweet and precious. When she comes over the kids are a big help!

Indoor Soccer!

I'm not sure how much I have talked about it but Bentley played indoor soccer in the Winter. It was so much fun to watch. It is a lot faster because there is no "Out of Bounds".



And Kiley started playing Soccer for the Miracle League. It is such a neat organization. They provide sports leagues for kids with special needs. They are assigned a Buddy for each game. Each player gets to score at least one goal during the game and at the end of the game they all line up and take turns scoring. It is really fun to watch. Her team is called the Burn. At home, she dribbles the ball and scores all the time, but of course in the new environment she is shy and intimidated. I think she will warm up a little more each game!



Bentley is excited to be in the bleachers cheering Kiley on. For some reason he felt he needed his binoculars for one of the games.



Brother and Sister were very proud of her!

Our Little Artistas!

One day I received letters from both Kiley and Presley's Art Teachers that they both had artwork chosen to be displayed at the School Administration Building. We were so proud of them!



Our neighbor is on the school board and Mikey couldn't resist taking a selfie with his picture while we were at the Administration Building.



Also, to celebrate Presley's 100th day of school, she had to do a project with 100 of something. It turned out really cute.
