Sad day!

So I think it is a little early for this but, my sweet little Seth boy asked me this morning if he could hug and kiss me before we left the house. He said that sometimes he didn't want me to hug him at the bus stop. So not fair!!! (Kristine no laughing!)

Girl Time!

So with Seth at school I decided to have a little girl time with Riley and Lexi. We painted fingers and toes. Lexi sucks her thumb so she didn't get those painted but she looked so cute with her other 8 fingers. It was so fun! Of course they had to have stickers on their toes too. They both lost the sticker on one foot with in 5 minutes. All in all, school is fun for Seth and the girls are enjoying some extra "mom time".

Lexi's pretty toes and fingers!









Riley's pretty toes and fingers!

Did I cry?

So today was Seth's first day of school! He was so excited. Last week we went and met his teacher. His class has 2 pets which he was very excited for. He didn't want to leave. I am sure he will go see them first thing this morning.
So having to get out the door by 6:50 w/ all 4 kids was a little more time consuming than I had imagined. But lucky for me Eliott stayed here a little later than normal so he could see Seth off to school so I had a little extra help. Tomorrow I am going to have to get up a little earlier!
So of course we had to document this momentous occasion with a ton of pictures so just deal with it!!







So here we have "the backpack!"













Here is my sweet little boy walking to the bus stop. Luckily for us we have a bus stop at the end of our street. So the walk isn't too bad. Except today when it was extremely muggy! On the ride home since he is half day the bus will drop him off at my door which is soooo nice!





And of course as soon as I heard the bus coming I had to get my hugs. We already looked goober enough with our whole family at the bus stop that I didn't want to make it worse for him by hugging him in front of all the kids! (I don't know if he cares yet but I didn't want to risk it!)



















I have to admit it was really sad watching him get on the bus. But I figured it would be better for him to do it the same time all the other kids did than to take him, say the first week and then make him ride it the next week and have everybody else know what to do and where to go when you get off the bus. So I say it is better he is new w/ everybody else. Anyway all that said, it was still sad.


Eliott had to walk him across the street to get on and the second he left to do that I started bawling like a baby. It kinda surprised me (I am kinda dead inside, it takes a lot to make me cry). I didn't stop crying until we got back home. But I am a big girl and I can handle this! He gets home around noon. It is kinda weird fixing breakfast for only 2 people instead of 3 (he gets breakfast in his classroom). This is all about me and my big day not his, right?!!

Lyddie Girl!

So here is my pretty Lyddie! Well everyone knows how hectic "blessing day" is so we always take a family picture on the day and then when my sweet baby smiles I like to dress her up again and take pictures. Here is that beautiful picture. I was a little worried however that she wouldn't fit in the dress, since she is now 20lbs, but she did! I was so happy. This is a dress that my mom made before she passed away. I would have been so sad not to have a picture of my sweet Lyddie dressed in it. This second one is just a cute one I got after I changed her outfit. We had so much fun during our "photo shoot" in the living room!

Seth Lost A Tooth!!

So 2 weeks ago Seth told me that Lexi pulled a toy out of his mouth and broke his tooth. Well upon further inspection I discovered his tooth was simply loose. He has his permanent tooth coming in already behind it.






On Saturday he told Eliott that it hurt a little so after a bit of wiggling, he lost his 1st tooth. He was so excited and the tooth fairy even brought him a dollar. Fun day!
