This and That

I have blog posts swimming around in my head but I never seem to take the time to actually write them.

We increased the boys' time at preK to MWF last week.  They are also staying through lunch.  They seem to have a great time but Jacob always cries when I drop them off.  When we pick them up Jacob isn't ready to leave school.  We are working on potty training with the boys too.  Not going so great.  I just don't know if they understand to tell us they need to go.

Grace slept over with a friend last night for the first time.  She was so excited and had a great time. Alyssa slept upstairs with Julia since Grace was gone.  She thought she was a very big girl.

Kristopher came home from Spring Break for a few days.  It was nice having him home.  Jacob always gets so excited to see him.  And yes Kristopher needs a haircut.

Zachary was in his first high school musical, Oklahoma.  He was in the pit playing his trombone.  Dallas and I went last night.  It was an excellent performance.

First Day of Preschool

A couple of photos from today.  I will add more later.

Gracie's Quilt

Aunt Dee brought Grace's quilt to Dallas this week. She is so excited to have one of her very own.  I love it!  The colors are so pretty!

Preschool

Oh how I love these boys!  They definitely keep me on my toes and there is never a dull moment but I can't imagine our lives without them.

Yesterday we had an eligibility meeting with our county's preschool services.  It should have been in January but due to weather it kept being delayed.  I believe we began this process back in September. All their evaluations were completed in mid January.

We were surprised that they recommended the boys receive full time 5 day a week preschool.   I really do not want the boys going full time 5 days a week but if we do not accept it there is no guarantee we will get what they need at a later date.  So we agreed to let them go.  It probably is what they need and will benefit them in so many ways.  It is going to be a difficult transition for them.  We should get our school assignment in 3-4 weeks.  Hopefully the teacher will be willing to work with us to make the transition easier.

Marbles

Last week we got a family pass to our local children's museum, Marbles.  The kids love going there.  Lots of photo opportunities there so you will must likely be seeing lots of photos on the blog.  Here are a few of my favorites from today.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Happy 4th Birthday, Caleb and Jacob!

The boys turned 4 today.  They were so excited after realizing it really was their birthday not mine.

Here are a few photos from their day.
