Preschool Happenings

Since the blog was open to the public I haven't felt comfortable disclosing any info about where Toby goes to preschool in fear of who would see that (we all know there are a lot of creepos out there on the internet). Thankfully now I can since this is private :) So this is me playing catch-up with his preschool activities.


Toby and his beloved Teacher Tina.
Making the hardest decision of his little life, what to bring for snack. We were in the juice isle for it seemed like forever. At his preschool each child gets a turn to be 'snack helper', they get to bring the snack and then be the one to pass it out to all of their friends. This was a much anticipated day for Tobes. As you can see below he did end up choosing some juices, a box of Cars Cheese It's, and some apples. He was very proud of his selection and couldn't wait to get to preschool to share.

Here we are riding on the school bus for the first time going on his first field trip to Lee's farm (Hanna's old work where she used to pump out the pies). Jack was pretty freaked out about being on the bus and clung to me like a little monkey. You know how buses can get pretty bumpy and wiggly? Well, all Jack would say on the bus was "It tickles, it tickles Mama."
A very proud/elated boy standing by the bus.

Here's Toby at his 'Thanksgiving Feast'. They invited all the parents and had the kiddos walk out of their classrooms in a line and had them sing a few songs. Toby would NOT sing, he just stood there acting shy and like he was too cool to be singing with the rest of his classmates. We were proud of the little guy just for wearing that turkey hat the whole time, which he would NEVER do if Jamie or I would've asked him. And then he got to sit down at the table with his buddies and eat their feast.

iPhone Photo Dump

Since life is insanely busy right now I figured it would be easiest for me to take pictures of the remodel on my phone, not my lovely huge camera that I would be heartbroken if something happened to it. Soooo here are some pictures of the progress as of yet. Hopefully soon I'll be setting this blog as private, so if you are wanting to be put on the list of people who can view it make sure to let me know (via facebook, email, commenting on here, etc...)






Within a couple hours time, me and my dad were at Home Depot getting supplies for my crazy idea of painted plywood floors, then cutting them into the right board size at Jamie's work (since his SawStop is buried in boxes at the duplex), and then on over to the new house to lay them down. My dad is a rockstar.




If any of you doubted my country roots this just proves it, a burn barrel. Who needs a garbage service when you have one of these?! (haha, ok just kidding with that, I haven't used it, yet)

Tommy close your eyes. Everybody else, you are looking at Tommy's Christmas present. It's a HUGE sign that says 'Thomas Hobbies' Ohhhh yeah, he's gonna loooooove it.

And who needs a pile of leaves to have fun? These boys are just fine with a pile of monstrous, pokey pine needles. :)
