Pumpkin Patch

I was able to go to the Arboretum Pumpkin Patch with only Katherine. That works a lot better for actually getting some good pictures! She can pose and ham it up for the camera if she wants to.

Caroline's First Day

Caroline is in the 3 year old preschool this year. We love our preschool. Having a July birthday she is close to the youngest in the class and this is the first year that they have the class include 12 months rather than 6 months of kids so it will be interesting to see how she does.

Katherine had to show her how to do everything.

We love her sweet teachers.

We were running late and did not have time for pictures before school so we had to do them after school. She was excited to have signs like Katherine had on the first day of kindergarten.

And because I am a dork, I intentionally put Caroline in the same dress and pigtails for her first day of preschool 3's that Katherine had.

Back to School 2

Caroline's school starts after Labor Day. We had meet the teacher this week. We love our preschool and are so excited about her teachers for this year. She is also really lucky to be with a really sweet group of girls for the 3rd year in a row. Katherine had a lot of changes in her friends during preschool so I love this for Caroline.

After Meet the Teacher we went to the playground and I snapped some photos of the girls. I love when I take candid photos and they actually turn out cute!



Caroline looks so grown up to me.

First week of school

Katherine had a wonderful first week of school. She LOVES kindergarten! She has such a sweet teacher and a sweet class. We are so lucky that there are only 9 students in her class with a teacher and full time aid. It is the perfect transition to big kid school.

The kids have not been able to go to the playground much because it is so HOT! They got to go out on Friday when they go to school earlier and it is not so hot.
Every day the kids get to go to centers. Katherine's favorite is red when she gets to do science, computers and home center.
We did not have time the first day of school to take pictures in front of the school's front sign. Since I graduated from this school I have many memories of climbing on this sign at lunch time. That was before all of the landscaping so I think they don't want kids climbing anymore.

School has started...

but summer is not over!

In Texas it is still well over 100 degrees every day so in the evening we have to keep cool. Our yard is dying so we decided to test out the sprinklers and let the kids play. Katherine also did a sidewalk chalk masterpiece of a robot.

Tonight we went out to wash Daddy's 1952 Ford truck to get it ready for our church's motor show this week. The girls love daddy's truck and had a lot of fun with this.

Daddy's Truck

Daddy has a 1952 Ford F-1 pick up truck. The girls love to play in it but they have not yet ridden in it (not too safe with front row carseats).

Daddy needed to wash the truck so they got to ride in it for 20 feet to back out of the garage into the driveway. They thought it was so cool!
Then it was fun to wash the truck. Spray hoses, soap, swimsuits on a hot August day. What could be better?
