1st day of school 2011-2012

And so it begins....another school year! Mallory started 1st grade today at a new school. Last year she attended the school our neighborhood feeds Buckalew but this year due to my schedule she will attend the elementary right next door to the high school Powell. She gets to ride to school with me and then take a bus from the high school to her school and back after school. It works out great and she is very excited since her bff from TWHS childcare attends there.

Morgan has one more year at TWHS childcare so she gets to ride with me to work too and I get to see her whenever I want. She had quite the growth spurt this summer and childcare has a lot of "newbies" so let's just say she looks a little out of place!! But she is very happy to have her sister back in the car rides!

Case is not pictured but is at the same in home childcare that we took Morgan to when she was little. It is a street away from the high school so I feel very blessed that all my kiddos are super close by. Good luck to everyone this school year!!

Pottery & Play

Since summer unofficially ended for me August 1st(start of vb season) I decided to take the kids to a few places before their summer ends. I had promised the
girls we would go to Potteryland. After visiting the dentist we stopped by. The girls got to pick out the piece of pottery they wanted & then the paint colors. An apron, brushes, paint, etc were all provided. They had such a good time I'm sure we will go again.

Once you finish painting you leave the pottery for a few days & when you return to pick it up they have it glazed & set for you.

The finished product:






Ariel & the Owl

Next up on our outings was a trip to a new indoor play area in The Woodlands called WonderWild. I read an article about it in the Villager so I thought we would check it out.




Mallory, Case & Morgan at the top


Case & Morgan at the very top- Case changed his mind until I went down with him.


I love things that go!!

My review: great for toddlers & great set up to where you can keep an eye on your kids. Both Case & the girls had fun. Negative $10 for all kids walking & $8 for non-walkers. Head down to pump it up for not even half the price & kids are just as happy!

Case turns 18 months!

Today Case turned 18 months. I actually took him to the doctor yesterday because for the past week he has not been himself. To my surprise nothing was wrong but a little cold. I decided to treat him to some baskin Robbins after the appt since I started volleyball last week & have been super busy :(








To say he enjoyed it would be an understatement. I have loved being with my little man this summer- makes starting work no fun!! Case was 26 lbs(53%) and 34 in(91st%). He says momma, mommy, dadda, uh oh & recently ma-yee for Mallory. The doctor said since he is the 3rd and a boy talking probably won't be for a while. No problem...grunting, pointing, yelling etc seems to get his point across. Case has also loved swimming this summer.

Tonight I also won out first match of this season so happy 18 months Case- that win was for you!!
