I love going to other blogs and seeing all the great pictures that people post. Half the time I don't even read the posts, I just like to see the pictures. I'm amazed by how fast children grow!
Since I like pictures so much, I'll share of few of my own from September with you to (hopefully) enjoy!
Preston and his friend Seth playing Cars/Trains/Trucks
Preston turned 6 on September 14th. I can't believe my baby is 6. I wish he could be 3 years old forever!
I attempted to make him an Angry Bird cake, which didn't turn out, so I did a basic Chocolate cake with Butter-cream frosting and put these Mario toys in it. It seemed to be good enough for him, but I felt like I really failed in the cake department this year.
Disappointed that he got socks. (and underwear)
But he loved his Luigi Shirt
And his Angry Birds
His Police car
His big Cat tractor
And his Garbage truck
He got to talk to his Grandparents on the phone
Preston wore a Birthday Boy ribbon and got this crown at school to wear. I also brought the whole class goodie bags with some little treats and toys. He had a great birthday! I love my little man so much!!!
Does anyone know what sort of bug this is? It was a cross between a black ant, a beetle, and a scorpion and it was easily over an inch long.
Preston doesn't like the line inside socks that goes over the toes. He says it feels weird, so for at least the last year or so he has been wearing all of his socks inside out.
Preston and I spent about 3 hours cleaning, sorting, organizing the kids' playroom. We filled up 2 garbage bags-extra full. It looks great, I'm so happy with it and the kids have been doing really good at keeping it clean.
Emily and her girls came in to town for a quick visit and stayed one night at our house. I love when these cousins get together! They always seem to have so much fun. I miss them now that they live in Seattle.
I think Preston made a best friend for life since Finley now loves Trains and cars as much as he does. They definitely bonded.
My one and only Halloween decoration. Lame, right? But living at the end of a cul-de-sac and not having any front of the house windows really restricts our decorating abilities.
First day of School
4th Grade
Kindergarten
Seth and Preston outside their classroom
At his very own desk...5 minutes before the meltdown sobbing started
After school. All smiles! YAY!!!
I took the kids to the Vancouver Sausage Festival. We all did the huge slide together and the kids rode the little kid rides together.
And they played some games and each won a prize
but when they tried the Ferris Wheel alone Preston was crying really hard by the time they got to the top so the guy let them off...but didn't refund my tickets. Lame. I guess they need either an adult with them or they need to get a couple more years on them before they try it again. I guess Oaks Park or Disneyland are out of the question for now.
Good photos. What did Preston buy with our gift certificate? Thanks for posting. Miss the kids. Love you.
ReplyDeleteSo many great pictures!! I hate that the kids are growing up so fast! I loved the picture of Preston getting socks for his birthday. For several years I did that with the boys. They hated it but I thought it was hilarious :). There's a movie with guy who wears his socks inside-out like Preston. I think it was Finding Forrester or something? I don't remember much about the movie. I don't think I even liked it, so why do I remember the sock thing? Totally makes sense, though: who wants to have the sock line bother them?
ReplyDeleteOh, and the cake is great! E looked at it and said, "Can you make that for my birthday, Mom?"
Love you!
