Preston's 1st Day of Preschool

Cutest Boy in the WORLD! Preston Loves school, he loves his teacher & he loves all the social interaction. He looks forward to school every week. Every time I pick him up I ask "So what did you do today!?" And he says, "I don't know". Or I ask him, "What are your friend's names?" And it's the same,"I don't know". Then a few hours later in a conversation with someone else, he excitedly explains details of school and all his friend's. So I've stopped asking him Right when I pick him up, rather I ask him during dinner or at bedtime. He's an open book during those one-on-one moments. He's JUST like his Dad! ...which is a very good thing, of course ;o)

With Preston at school, Caroline & Mommy like to run errands together or stay home & just veg. This is exactly how you'll find her most mornings, all snuggled up on the couch & watching her morning cartoons. Little peanut!

Preston's Sweet Spot

My kids are little sneakers, always getting into things they're not supposed to. They manage to figure out every child proof system in our house. Preston pushes stools & chairs around everywhere. Well, he has a corner that he likes to hide in once he scores a treat or snack. I often find Caroline nestled by his side in his "sweet spot" (as we like to call that particular corner). I'll find them both hiding there behind the couch & end table. It's the silence followed by the crinkling sound of a wrapper that gives them away... as well as the abandoned chair still hanging out in my pantry. The one nice thing about all this is that Preston always shares whatever jackpot he finds with his sister. Last week, they broke in the pantry & shared 3/4 of a king size symphony bar! Caroline had chocolate smeared from ear to ear. I tell him, "Just Ask! And I will say Yes!" It's not like I don't give my kids treats. They get them everyday, believe me... we use all kinds of bribery in our house to get Preston to eat his dinner. My children are definately not deprived of sweets b/c Dad & Mom both have a sweet tooth so there's always something sweet in our pantry & the little buggers know it!

Well, I was looking through my library of pictures & came across these photos that I took earlier this summer. I chuckled to myself when I realized these photos. It's really quite funny that I have a picture of both of them being naughty. I most definately need a picture of them in their little corner ;o)

I snuck behind him & yelled "Hey!" as I took this picture ;o) Caught ya' red handed Boy!

If there's dirt around, you can be darn sure to find Caroline playing in it! This plant is now outside.
