Sean and Owen go to school

That's right! Today was the boys first day of preschool. We have been talking it up for quite some time not. I was totally prepared for them to both have a total melt down and not make it through the morning, but they both surprised me. Owen did cry for just a bit when I left, but was told it did not last long. They both had a great day and only one potty accident each.

Mother's Day at Little Dreamers

Friday, Delaney's preschool invited all of the Mommies to come celebrate with them. They had 3 stations set up. First, Delaney made me a jewelry box...



Then she painted my nails...



then she made me a necklace to put in the box.

(((oopps..I have no pictures of this!)))

During class last week, Delaney drew a picture of me and wrote a few facts. I had to pick which one was mine. I got it on the second try.

Thank you to Mrs Karen and Mrs. Coleen, Delaney's teachers, for doing this for us. And thank you to my mom who stayed home with Sean and Owen so that I could enjoy this time with Delaney. It was very special to me.

Don't forget about the blog party. Most of it ends tonight at midnight, but two special prizes have been added with an extended date. You won't want to miss out on these!!

Little Dreamer's Christmas

Delaney had her little Christmas program at school on Friday! Can I just say how darn cute they were. A group of little 4 & 5 year olds came out with their reindeer hats and noses on singing Christmas songs! Enough to make a mama tear up (and yes, I did). It was also PJ day at school.

After a few songs, the class did a little project. They made snowmen out of tube socks! What a cute project!

Then a snack (This is where my yummy snowmen came into play!).

**this is my second post for the day, so make sure you scroll down to see the first one**

Knee Deep in Snowmen

No, not real ones, Silly! This is North Carolina! There is no snow here! BUT, we did make these snowmen.

Here is how it started. A couple weeks ago, we were asked by Delaney's teacher to sign up to bring a snack for The Christmas program (that post will follow this one). I had the sheet in my had ready to write my name down beside the candy canes. This was easy...I could just pick up a box and turn them into reindeer using little piping and red dots, right? Wrong. Just before I wrote my name another mom yells "I'll bring the candy canes"! AH! Your kidding me, right? Should I be hateful and put my name there anyway? Should I just suck it up and sign up for something else and let her have the stinkin' candy canes? Being the competitive on that I am, I just thought, 'forget it, I will come up with something all the kids will like more than candy canes!'

When Debi posted this, I knew exactly what I was going to do for Delaney's school! Delaney and Jess both loved making these cute little guys. So much that we made 50+!

I must say, they were a HUGE hit at school! Not just for the kids, but the parents and teachers as well!

FYI: I do like the other mom that brought the candy canes. In fact, I am pretty sure she peeps at the blog from time to time!
