Why Hallie Loves Mondays

What's better than Miss Carol picking you up from school?  Miss Carol picking you up with ICE CREAM!

First Day of Our New Preschool

Sara and Brooks started their new preschool today!  Here they are ready to go (forgive B's extreme bedhead--Mommy wasn't functioning on all cylinders this morning, apparently...lucky for Sara, she wakes up with great hair and my spaciness didn't have a similar impact on her).

They had a great day.

Big School!

 

Elizabeth's Birthday Party

The kids had a lot of fun at Elizabeth's birthday celebration on Saturday in Cookeville!  The day started with some bowling...

And then progressed to Cane Creek, where  they ate birthday cake...

Rode on paddleboats!  (Which were "glittery blue," according to H.)

And played on the playground.

Happy 7th birthday, Elizabeth!  Looks like a fun party!

Farm!

Brooks went to  heaven  a farm on Friday with Nana, Papa, Daddy, the girls, and Charlie.  I am told it was difficult to get him to leave.

After all, there were TRACTORS!  Our favorite!

I'm pretty sure this one needs a frame...

There were about six huge dogs, and B loved every one of them.  (The "big" kids reportedly climbed the nearest adult while Brooks chuckled.)

Hearing how much he loved this little field trip, I have begun a countdown to the pumpkin patch trip this year.  I'm gonna go ahead and block out the whole day.  It sounds like we may need it.
