What a Soiree

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Like "Fancy Nancy", Brylie loves, loves. loves. a soiree.(that french for party) If you have a little girl and have not read any of the "Fancy Nancy" books, run do not walk, to the nearest bookstore to pick it up. It is a Hoot!

She is Brylie's favorite character right now so this years birthday was Fancy Nancy. She was bombarded with everything fancy for her birthday...from books to outfits, nail polish, make-up,necklace,games,puzzles, and trinkets she wears in her hair. Brylie can proudly say she now owns all the "Fancy Nancy" books. We also have the boa, tutu, slippers, and her dog Frenchy.

This birthday was so must fun. I rented tables and dress up trunks. The girls loved it! Sorry, boys but I hope you had fun playing in the sand box.

Grandparents are GRAND!

My parents came down this week to spend the week with Miss Brylie and all us... since they would not be able to come for her party. They made her feel oh, so special this week. I am so glad they got to spend good quality time with the kids. The kids just ate it up and are still a little rotten after they left.

My parent got to do a lot with us this week. We went to the park ,they watched Brylie in dance class, went to Chuck E Cheese, shopped, ate out a lot at Brylie's faves, and had a Fancy Nancy party at school for Brylie.

It just so happened Brylie was learning letter "Bb" this week. So I told my mother and being the kindergarten teacher she is created this great school party plan. She and Brylie dressed up and read the book "Fancy Nancy- Bonjour Butterfly" and made butterflies with blow pops bodies and then had b-day cupcakes. We are still talking about that great day. Cute but sad I let Bry look at the pictures before I posted them and she just laughed and said, " We look fancy, my GawGaw and me." Then she said she could not look at them any more or she might cry because she is missing her GawGaw so much! Oh, the drama around here.

I also wanted to thank my grandmother because she is so GRAND! My Grambie made her oh, so good meatloaf just for me. I loved it! I just wished I could have shared it with you long with a good visit. Thanks again for thanking of me. I love you and miss you! I guess I am sad too and miss my Grambie. Maybe I might know where Miss Bry gets her drama from?

Life and Times of My Two Year Old!

Well, let the stories begin. Tuesday was the second day of Little Hearts School and I already have a story to tell, on my sweet little boy. It was the classes 1st day of Bible class with Mrs. Danielle. The kids always love her and can't wait to go to her class because she is so much fun. The class was sitting in a little circle on their bottoms. Well, except Lawson and a few of his friends. (Yes, Brittany if you are reading this, your little guy was one of them.) They would not sit up instead the boys involved all laid down on their backs. Mrs. Danielle got on to these guys but they would not sit up. She gave them the teacher look and the stern voice and even the pinch on the foot, meaning please sit up. Non of the boys would sit up. She started the bible story in hopes that they would join in and sit up but instead my little class clown started snoring and pretending to be a sleep. The other boys thought that was funny. So now instead of having one snorer she has four snoring boys. I just laughed when I heard this story. I guess boys will be boys? I am going to write this one down in the baby book but if anything else happens again like this my little guy will be in trouble. I should hope and pray this is not the start of life as the class clown.

Now on a positive note Lawson has been in underwear all week long and has stayed dry. He has even took a few naps in big boy underwear because I just forgot to change him. He is doing great in his big boy bed. He takes great naps and goes to bed awesome. Not every night but at least two or three nights a week he like to get up at about 3:30 or 4:00. He comes in our room and gets in our faces and says,"Hi Mommy". We march him back to bed and tell him it is night time. He will look at us with his sad face and say, "No, Mommy". I hope he will get tried of this very soon.

First day of Little Hearts School.

This day finally came for us all. This will be Brylie's last year at LHS it is a bitter sweet day. I can't believe that my baby is old enough to be in Pre K. It was too cute this morning, when I woke Bry up for school, she told me she was scared to go to school. I asked her why because she had been counting down the days until school started back. She looked so sad and said to me, "because mommy I am still 4 and they might make me go to the 4 yr old class instead of Pre K." I tried to explain that most if not all of her class would still be 4 and not turn 5 until the school year started. Both kids did great and love school. I can't wait to hear all the funny stories and things that can happen this year with both kids at LHS.

I'm a Big Boy now!

Well, today is the day Lawson wore big boy underwear all day and stayed dry. Way to go big boy! This week has also been very challenging. Lawson my sleeper has decided that he is too big for his crib. It was early Tuesday morning when he he crawled out and chipped his front tooth. I thought it might be a one time thing but no luck he did it over and over again. I don't think I slept much that night. Now he is in his toddler bed and sleep is not much better. He loves to get up and come to our room. I finally broke him of that habit. Now he just stands in the middle of his room and screams at the top of his lungs, " Mommy hold". It's not that sweet at 3:00 am. I hope to brake him of that habit soon.

Another funny story that happened this week is we were having toilet problems. Matt took apart the potty to find out why it would not flush right. Lawson had flushed a bathroom plastic cup down the potty. We kept asking the kids if they put anything in the potty that they shouldn't, Lawson kept saying, "car". We are hoping that is not true since we didn't find the car. I feeling this little boy is going to give me many more stories to write about.
