So busy!

I have been wanting to get onto the blog and post for the last two weeks, but haven't yet figured out how to manage all of my time accordingly since I am now going back to school full-time. For those of you that haven't heard yet, I'm working on my pre-requisites for the BSN (BS in Nursing) degree. At the rate I'm going, I'll be done with my pre-reqs in December, and will hopefully be accepted into the BSN program at Sacramento State University that will start the following January. I'm really excited about being back in school, but there are definitely not enough hours in the day for me to accomplish all that I need to get done!

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that I honestly am trying to stay on top of this whole blogging thing. I have some amazing videos of the boys at their gymnastics performance from last Friday that I'd like to share (if I can figure out how!)...and of course, I simply enjoy writing about my kids! LOL But, for now, I'm supposed to be doing homework while I wait for Brady to get home, so I'd better get back at it. I'll be busted if he walks in the door and sees me updating the blog...It's a good thing his truck has a Flow Master and I can hear him coming from a mile away!

She's a Big Girl Now!

Well, it's official...my baby is no longer a baby. Kourtney started preschool today, which is both a great thing and a terrible thing. It's great because she loved it so much, but terrible because she's my last one...and she's growing up all too quickly!

Last week, the boys and I took Kourtney to Little Steps Christian Preschool to take a tour of her classroom, meet her teacher, and play with her new classmates, whom she quickly classified as her friends. She loved every minute of it, and couldn't wait to go back. Fortunately for her, she didn't have to wait long! :) We arrived at school at 8:45, after dropping the boys off at school. It took her all of ten seconds to warm up, and get into the routine. She was playing with toys, talking to the fish (one of the classroom pets), and kicking me out of the room. Apparently, I'm only good for drop-off and pick-up...She only let me stay long enough to take a couple of pictures and put her stuff in her cubby. Then, I was booted out the door...by my toddler!

While it was fantastic that she was so excited, I was just a bit bummed that she didn't shed a single tear, or even pretend that she wanted me to hang out with her for a few minutes. I'm grateful, though, that it went so well...Kieran cried for the first six months of preschool, which was torture, so I would much prefer it this way.

All in all, her day went fantastic! I called around 2:00 pm, and the teacher said that she had laid on her mat for nap time with the rest of the kids, falling right to sleep. When I got there to pick her up at 3:30 (after picking up the boys from school), she didn't want to go home! She loved it so much that it took us more than ten minutes to get out of the building! I'm thrilled that she had such a blast...And can I just say that I had the most productive day that I've had in seven months?! Woohoo for preschool!

Here are some pictures of Kourtney on her first morning of preschool...

In the kitchen...Just before walking out the door. She's soooo excited!

Exploring some of the new toys...

Excitedly showing off the fish...She can't wait to feed them!
