Busy Day

We'll we got up and went to church this morning and as soon as it was over we headed home to grab the cake and present for Joshua's bd party. I can't believe my baby nephew is 4 now!!! We stayed for a while and then headed home so pawpaw Steve and Granny Peggy (Mommy's dad and his girlfriend) could come over and see the new house. We were glad to see them b/c we don't hardly see them. Hopefully, we can make an effort to spend more time with them. We then all headed to the ball field to watch Joshua and Jordan to play ball. Man was it hot out there.

The Tooth Fairy Came!!

We'll since the long awaited tooth came out, Chloe got to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy. When she woke up she immediately stuck her hand under her pillow and said "she came mommy, she came!" "I got 5 million dollars!!!" LOL. Don't you wish that was true? Anyways, she got $5 and she was very proud of it.

She lost her first tooth!!!!!

Cool purple glasses and even a purple cover to match


Getting her teeth cleaned


Yippee it's gone!




Finally, Chloe lost her first tooth. We have been waiting for almost 2 weeks now. Chloe had a dentist appt. today to get her teeth cleaned and while we were there we showed the dentist her loose tooth. We kept trying to convince Chloe to wiggle it out herself but she wasn't having it. So the dentist told Chloe she was going to paint that tooth with some special medicine (which was numbing medicine). After it was good and numb mommy tried to wiggle out but I was kinda scared it would hurt her, so the dentist took some towels and pulled it out. Chloe didn't even know it was out, and finally the dentist said "Chloe, your tooth is gone" to which Chloe got this confused look on her face and said "Really? I didn't know that". How cute. She was so excited that finally the tooth fairy was going to come. She got a balloon and two prizes from the dentist for being such a good girl. As she went to bed tonight, she was grinning from ear to ear and said, "mommy, I can't believe the tooth fairy is really going to come!". Oh the joys of being so little.

Cookies & Homework

Chloe's first night of homework.

Writing her R's

I wonder if she'll always be this happy about homework?

Showing her first completed homework assignment.

She's got her apron and hat, she's ready to make cookies






Mommy got off early today so I was able to pick Chloe up from school. After supper we decided to make cookies. Chloe picked out the animal cookie cutters, which didn't surprise me. Towards the end of the dough, we decided to make our hand prints. Chloe thought that was the neatest thing ever. The funny thing was, after they baked, they were huge!! LOL. After the cookies were done, it was bath time and then Chloe had her first night of homework. She said "Mommy, I don't like this". That girl better get use to it. She has a long road ahead of her. My baby is growing up, and mommy is getting old!!

Fun Day w/ BFF!

Matching PJ's


Silly faces


Watching Joshua play ball

After church today Bailey came home from church with us. Chloe & Bailey both have really been missing each other and so they couldn't wait to play together. Mommy made a trip to walmart (I know imagine that LOL) and found matching monkey pj's that said "Best Friends Forever". The girls were really excited and wanted to put them on right away. Later this afternoon we headed to the ball field to watch Joshua and Jordan play ball. We were excited to finally get to go to a game. Jordan's team won 8 to 2 but we are not sure about Joshua b/c we had to leave before it was over. They both did really good though.

When we got up today, we decided to call Aunt Christy & Joshua and see if they wanted to go feed the ducks and play on the play ground with us. Chloe and Joshua both were scared of the ducks, why I don't know. They only wanted the bread. So the bread got thrown in big clumps and then off to the playground. We stayed there for a while and the kiddo's were getting hungry so we decided to head to McDonald's, grab lunch and head off to Iroquois park for more play time. By the time we were done, everyone was exhausted!

Checking the loose tooth out.


Silly girl!

We'll today was another busy day. Mommy and daddy had to work and Chloe had her third day of kindergarten. After Chloe got out of the bath, she sang me a song she learned at school today. Then we proceeded to brush her teeth and her tooth is so loose that it is barley hanging on. So, she was wanting to show it off for the camera. Not to exciting but that's our life. LOL

Back to School Blast @ Church

Slip n Slide time


She loved the sprinkler


Bubbles


Looks a little cold.

Tonight we went to church for the back to school blast. We started off inside for ice cream and then headed outside for corn hole, slip n slide, water ballons, bubbles and sprinklers. Chloe had a ball and there were lots of other kids there to play with. We didn't get to stay too long because Chloe had to get home and get a bath and then get in bed. School and getting up early wears her out. Mommy too.

Chloe & MawMaw


We'll today was Chloe's first day of Kindergarten. I think it was harder on mommy then Chloe. When we got up this morning Chloe ate breakfast and then we proceeded to get dressed. Chloe just doesn't understand why uniforms can't be in pink & purple. Go figure. But mommy saved the day by letting her wear her pink sparkly belt. Good thing she can wear that in pink. LOL. Mawmaw came over and went with us to school, which really helped mommy stay calm. We took some pic outside before we left and then we took some more once we got to school. Chloe was so big walking into school and she went right in and sat down and started coloring. Mommy kept hugging and kissing on her and she politely said "Mommy it's time for you to leave, I am busy coloring now". Bless her heart, she knew mommy was having a hard time letting go and wanted to be nice about telling me to GO. LOL. Mommy kept busy at home doing a lot of house work, trying not to think about it. When I got to pick her up, she had a pick smile on her face and her exact words were "it was awesome". I am so relieved that God kept her safe and got us both through this first day of Kindergarten.

Getting ready for School

Today was spent getting stuff ready for Chloe's first day of Kindergarten tomorrow. I wanted to make sure everything was ready and we had everything together. I also just wanted to spend the day with Chloe and keep things low key so she wasn't to wore out. She seems to be really excited about it and I know she will do great. It's hard to let go of them and I know this is only the first step of many that I will have to let go of. I am sure many tears will be shed tomorrow, by mommy not Chloe! I know that God has his hand on her and will keep her safe.

On Friday morning we woke up early and headed out to Kings Island. We wanted to do something as a family before school started. Chloe was so excited because Spongebob & Scooby Doo was at Kings Island. We really had the perfect day, it was gorgeous and not to hot. We spent the entire day there and didn't get home until 12:45 am. When we were leaving the park Chloe looked at us both and said "Thank you both for today". It was the sweetest thing I have ever heard!
