No Boys Allowed

Campbell posted this sign on her door today. The curls are spot on for a certain little brother.

So Busted

This picture just cracks me up. Gabe & I were upstairs meeting with a lady about blinds for some windows and the kids were playing downstairs. My camera was laying out and Blake took this picture of Campbell climbing on the roof of the playhouse. She knows she's not supposed to be up there because it comes apart easily and it could collapse. He TOTALLY busted her!

Yes, I am so terribly behind blogging. Yup, just checked, my last post was over 2 months ago...woops! I'm having trouble getting motivated to start. Thank goodness for being able to backdate posts and pictures to remind me what we've been up to. I better get to it....I'm starting to forget the details!

First Snow

The kids were super pumped about the first snow fall. It was barely snowing and they kept sprinting to the window wondering if there was enough to go sledding yet. Finally there was just enough snow to cover the grass a little bit so we got bundled up and headed out.

Blake insisted on wearing a pair of Campbell's snow pants.

Gabe would make the kids snowballs and then they'd throw them right at him.

Happy sledder

Mush!

Campbell wanted the spot light. I was taking a picture of Blake and she popped her head right in front of the camera.

We used to be able to walk to Target, restaurants, the ice cream shop, and Gabe's work.  Now we can walk to a cow pasture. The kids were very excited that the cows were looking and moo-ing at them.

Fall Goof Balls

Ch-ch-cha-Changes

It took 1 day of driving Campbell 25 minutes one way to preschool to decide I was going to switch her sooner than later to a closer school. I had planned on letting us get settled in the house and then change. But, it was just too far. We went for a tour of a preschool very close to our house & it was cute and the teachers were very nice. That day we drove by Campbell's preschool and Blake said "there's your preschool, Da-do (Campbell)." Campbell very matter of factly said, "I don't go there anymore." We still had to give notice at her 'old' preschool and say good-bye to her friends, but she didn't seem to be worried about it at all. While I was super excited about not spending so much time driving, I am still sad that we had to say good-bye to her wonderful teacher, Miss Melissa (who said to me when we were saying good-bye, "I know we're not supposed to have favorites, but Campbell is a lot of fun") and her friends and preschool moms that we've gotten to know over these past 2 years. And, I was bummed that we're not in a district that has a Spanish Immersion program. Campbell really liked learning Spanish and we had paid more money to send her to a Spanish Preschool. But, I just found out that starting next year, there will be 2 sections of Spanish for incoming kindergarteners! I don't know the details, but we'll will find out soon at the Kindergarten information session. At least there's hope!

Campbell's class made her a cute card on her last day.

First day of preschool, again.

Campbell jumped right into the new preschool and never looked back. Her new teacher said she's the smile-ist kid she's seen and is doing great.
