Birthday party

Today I took Emma to a birthday party for her friend Jadah from preschool. Many games were played, cake and ice cream, and presents. Emma was very shy at first then she gradually warmed up. By the time we left Emma was hugging Jadah and telling her bye. So cute!
Ben took Bella to the YMCA for some swimming while Emma and I were at the party. Bell a swam on her own with her life vest and a swim noodle. I think she is going to be ready to swim on vacation.

Finally found iPad app to blog

Yeah! I now have my blog linked to my iPad so hopefully I can catch up on my blogging. The girls and I had a fun week resuming activities after being on winter break. We also went swimming at the YMCA so they can get use to the water before vacation in 2 weeks. Emma got her costume for her dance recital in May and was very excited. I just hope Bella's comes in soon.

A funny quote this week is that Emma asked me to make sure I am awake before she gets up in the morning because she does not like having to wake me up. Not that there are too many mornings I am not up before her. Just wait til you are a teen Emma I will be waking you up early just for fun then yo will regret saying this!

Painting with the Dehmers

I took Emma and Bella to glazed expressions with their friends Grace and Gaving for some painting. Emma chose to paint a unicorn and Bella decided to paint a castle (only because they were out of unicorns) We had a great time as always with the Dehmers and made some wonderful new decorations for the house.

Trick or Treat

Last night we went with the Blomgren's in our neighborhood trick or treating. Emma had a joke, but got a little shy when it came to telling it. They got way too much candy, but had sooo much fun. We had Chili and Cinnamon rolls for supper after we collected the candy. Overall a very fun night was had by all.

Preschool Halloween Parties

Last week we got to have Halloween parties at preschool. The kids had fun dressing up and got many treats from all the parents.

Gooooo Cyclones

I am happy to say that I have successfully brain washed my kids into being Cyclone fans!! What a proud moment for me. They call the Hawkeyes the yucky ones.

First day of school

Wow! It has been a long time since I have been on here, but I am back and hopefully I can at least put 1 blog a week out here. So the girls started school in Sept. and both are doing great and loving it. Bella is not crying this year and over the weeks she has become less shy and plays with her friends. Emma goes Monday, Wed., Fri and Bella only goes on Wed, Fri so Bella gets a little upset on Monday because she can't go to school.
