Kindergarten... Oh My!!!!

Madi outside of school.

The big day has arrived.... Madi is officially a Kindergartener. She was so ready... mommy is sooooo sad to give her up all day every day. She was so excited for today --the kind of excited that makes it hard to sleep at night. She was ready to get to school this morning and we got there quite early. She got her stuff into her room and then sat outside the room to read with her friends. We were so ready to pick her up at the end of the day. She said she had fun and told us about some of it. She was pretty tired so we didn't get too much detail. She was excited to get home and just run and play! Now off to get ready for another day tomorrow!




Madi and Mrs. Gunn

Fiesta Texas






We went to Fiesta Texas with the Rose's the weekend before school started. It was a lot of fun. The kids had a blast. They really had a lot of fun in Wiggles World. Madi rode the Tony Hawk roller coaster... she wasn't so sure about it but said she wants to try it again the next time. I missed her expression for this one as I was trying to keep Drew occupied. Drew LOVED the Wiggles roller coaster and the airplanes. Madi can't wait to go back again.



SeaWorld




We went to Sea World as a little side trip before school started and to celebrate Madi learning all of her 100 sight words... well actually 102 words. Drew learned 20 words too so they both got to get GIANT Shamus. We fed the lorikeets and the dolphins... watched a show and hung out at the water park. Drew went down his first big boy water slide. He was conflicted... he told me he cried because he liked it. Good Story Drew! :-)
Madi feeding the birds... Drew wanted nothing to do with that!

Feeding the dolphins... also known as Sea World's intelligent budgeting.

Brewers/Astros

We had a lot of fun at the Brewers and Astros game in Houston. The kids are excited to go back again next year.
