1st Week of Pre-K

Well, I'm trying to stay true to my word and not get too far behind on my posts. This past week was a crazy week. The kids started pre-k last monday, had their birthday party at the house Saturday, tried to recover from the birthday party Sunday, and Kevin's birthday is.... today. Whew, I'm looking forward to this week slowing down a little!

Their first week in pre-k could not have gone better. We absolutely love their new teacher "Ms. Cissy". The kids (especially Hannah) tend to be a little shy and reserved at first around new people, so when I found out she was going to be their teacher I was thrilled. She's known Hannah and Hunter since they started going there when they were about 6 months old, so being familiar with her makes them feel a lot more comfortable. They are obsessed with the fact that they have backpacks now and want to carry them everywhere. Of course we had to model them before we left for school the first day.

We also discovered that they will have homework due each week on Friday. Their first homework assignment was an "All About Me" poster. If you look closely, you can see their responses. They both chose Chick-fil-A as their favorite places, hunter wishes he could sing, and hannah wishes she could go to ballet everyday. They were very proud of these, and they get to hang them on the wall outside their classroom!






















Friday they were able to celebrate their birthday at school. I brought chocolate covered oreo cake balls, and they got birthday crowns to wear all day. Here's a picture of the birthday boy and girl with Ms. Cissy.

I have bad news for you...it's not going to slow down. First you'll be adding soccer or baseball practice, then they'll want friends to come over all the time, and before you know it they'll start dating! Ok, so we're not to the dating part at our house yes, but I'm pretty sure it's gonna be sooner than I'd like.
