Little Guys Preschool

My friend Tara and I decided to do a co-op preschool with Jackson and her son Trenton for this school year. We did it last year with four boys. It was pretty wild. This year the other two boys are old enough to go to "real preschool" and so it is just the two of them. They are SOOOOOO CUTE together!! On this particular day we talked about Community Helpers and they made Police Hats and badges. They ran around arresting me for the rest of preschool. When Tara came to pick Trenton up, it got really quiet upstairs as we chatted. We came to check on them and they were underneath Rachel's bed playing Candyland. Adorable. We remembered another time last year when it had gotten quiet upstairs and we went to check on them and they were drawing with markers all over Rachel and Allie's dresser. I guess our little guys are growing up.

Creative Endeavors

I'm not sure what it is, but lately I have felt the urge to learn new skills. I took a photography class and learned that f-stops, shutter speeds and depth of field are things that my little brain has a very hard time understanding and that the cost of equipment is something that my checkbook has a hard time funding. So, I decided to give my mind and wallet a break and take a class to learn how to make cake lollipops. This class was MUCH easier and the lollipops turned out pretty cute (at least my kids thought so.) Now, I'm taking a sewing class and learning how to make quilts. I'll keep you posted on how that turns out (seeing as how "sewing" was a four letter word in my house growing up.)
