Olivia's bedding

So this is the bedding. We will pick different furniture obviously and the feathery stuff will not be in her room either, but the bedding is perfect for her. Now, I just have to wait for the BIG move to GA in 13 months before I can finally put her nursery together.

It's been a few weeks...

Sorry I haven't updated in a few weeks. It has been very busy around here. Baseball season is in full swing and that means that we are usually at the ball park 2 or 3 times a week. I will post some pictures of Gavin and his baseball team tonight.

With the end of school rapidly approaching life gets even more hectic. Gain has had 2 field trips in the past two weeks. Madison asked me to be story parent and that consumed 45 minutes and she talked me into bringing cookies and juice boxes for the class. Callie has been very busy at Preschool. She has learned to tie shoes(it only took her 5 minutes!) and they had bike day last week. This week is no exception when it comes to a very busy schedule. Gavin has a game Monday night and Thursday night. We have Church activities Tuesday night. Madison is taking in cupcakes on Wednesday to celebrate her birthday because she has a summer birthday. Callie has a field trip to the Zoo on Tuesday, a Luau on Wednesday, and the park on Thursday. Gavin also has his 5th grade recognition on Friday and they get to stay after school for a carnival, dinner, and a movie. Did I mention that in the middle of all of this I have to pack for us to leave for GA! The kids will be gone for 3 weeks! they are so excited.

I have also finally managed to choose bedding for this sweet new baby. After much discussion and Derron saying NO to EVERYTHING that we looked at we finally agreed on a beautiful set that is black, white, and pink. Picture coming soon!!

Kindergarten Screening

Callie had her Kindergarten screening yesterday and she did really well. We are so proud of her and we think she is the smartest little girl in the whole world. She is also quite funny. While she was being screened I was chatting with the district nurse about Callie's shellfish allergy. They now serve shrimp fries in school and while just the mere thought of shrimp in the form of a fry is disgusting enough Callie is severely allergic. So, precautions must be discussed and taken. Once Callie was done they sent us back to talk to one of the 4 Kindergarten teachers. She scored a 97.5%. Which is very good. She missed our street number on the address portion and they said this really didn't matter because most kids can't even tell you the street they live on and well, she could do that. They took off 2 points for this. Then they took off a half a point because she couldn't tell them where her waist was. When they told me this I just looked at her and said, "Callie, you know where your waist is right?" Callie said, "No, I don't have one mom I am so skinny and stick straight!" I was laughing at this point and tried really hard to point out that she does in fact have a waist although it is not much of one. She was very disappointed that they only asked her to count to 10 and that they didn't let her read to them. She is very excited about starting Kindergarten in August and we have now started a count down. Her 1st day of school will be August 18.
