So today, after a long summer, marked Jayden’s first day of preschool.  Oh–could we not wait for today!!  The last few weeks were really hard on us as Jayden was finding more trouble to get into and I as his mommy, was running out of entertaining things to do!  I was so happy for today to come.  He was anxious and excited to go and as far as I know he had a good time.  He hasn’t said much other than there was a fire drill (which scared him to death because it was loud), snack (which was chocolate teddy grahams), kris-kross-applesauce, and the clean up song.  So I guess he remembered a few things.  We are so looking forward to the weeks to come and all the fun stuff he gets to do.  I sure hope he has fun and makes new friends.  He told me this morning after preschool that he didn’t need friends.  Hmmmm…wonder what that means?

On another note…we celebrated Jayden’s 4th birthday last week with friends and family.  It was fun to see everyone and hang out on a nice August day!  Jayden loved all his presents and was spoiled as usual.  Josie wasn’t so fond of the fact that Jayden got all the presents.  That was hard for my little peanut, but she managed just fine.  We even ventured to Chuck E. Cheese’s for the first time on Friday.  When we left, I told Kevin, “It’s fun to be a kid!”  We all had fun and will probably return sometime.

This summer was a good one even though we were busy with family a lot.  My dad is on the mend from his lightening strike.  The doctor says we are not out of the woods, but how do we know what will happen.  Come on doc…it’s a lightening strike!!  Most people don’t live to tell about it! 

We went to the Iowa State Fair a couple days while it was going on.  Jayden and Josie LOVED the fair and were very good kids.  The favorite was probably the bus ride to and from the fair, and seeing the animals.  After being there for about 8 hours on the second day, Jayden was till not ready to go.  He asked for “one more time around.”  It was cute!

 

Now as fall as approaching we are looking forward to school, pumpkins, trick or treating and ISU FOOTBALL!  Hopefully, they can pull of a few wins this year!
