First Day

Justus started pre-school today! It was a big day. I think it went okay....a little rough, but hopefully it will get better. The drop off was pretty hectic. The parents got to go back to the classroom for a few minutes, so I headed back. Justus of course only wanted to play with all the toys, which he wasn't supposed to do. I was also trying to control all three kids who wanted to run in three different directions. Anyways, when it came time to leave Justus didn't want us to go...he also didn't want to participate in the class activity. Then, as I finally get out the door Matthias starts melting down and screaming, "My Justus, my Justus." He was fine after a few minutes though. When I picked Justus up the first thing I noticed is that he was in his extra pants I had packed. He had a little accident, which isn't a big surprise since when he gets distracted sometimes he forgets he has to go to the bathroom. Hopefully that won't be a reoccurring event. The first thing he told me was that he had fun, so that is good news. He is excited to go back tomorrow, and hopefully he will fall into routine soon.

Home Sweet Home

I picked the kids up from Mimi and Papa's house this afternoon. I sure did miss them. I missed their giggles and seeing them play together. I was very thankful for the kid-free weekend though. The kids are pretty wiped out this evening. I'm thinking they will drift off to sleep pretty easily...at least I hope so.

The Suite Life

Jon and I went to the Cardinals game today. We got to sit in the Ed Jones suite, and got free food...yum! We had a great time and it was the perfect day for a baseball game! We're Cubs fans, but we aren't Cardinal haters....we cheered on the home team to beat the Reds.

School Supply Shopping

We headed to Target this morning to do a little school supply shopping. Justus got a new backpack, which he got to pick out. The great thing is it was on clearance for $7.48...and I also got my discount, which means it cost less than $6! He was super excited about his Toy Story backpack. He wore it around the store. He also got some crayons and got to pick out a folder, which is also Toy Story. I can't believe he starts school on Tuesday! Anyways, my mom met us at Target and took the kids for the remainder of the weekend. Jon and I get to enjoy a date this evening and a Cardinals game tomorrow afternoon, which we get to view from the Ed Jones suite!

The Face of a 3 Year-Old

This is the face of our 3 year-old...who starts pre-school on Tuesday! Can you believe it!?! I'm in total shock. Tomorrow morning we are headed to Target to pick out a backpack and get a few supplies. Justus went to the doctor yesterday. He weighed in at 41.8 lbs and is 41 inches tall.

Finally Home

Today was a very busy, eventful day. It all started this morning with a home visit from Justus' preschool teacher, which went very well. Just basically an informative meeting. We then headed to the gym, then back home for nap time. Once the kids were up we headed to Maryville for a doctor's appointment for Justus. Today was the last day to get in his pre-k physical paperwork....nothing like waiting until the last minute, right? After that we made a late afternoon trip over to see Jonathan at work. With him staying late to study for his big test, which is 2 weeks away, he hasn't gotten to see much of the kids. I decided to surprise him by bringing them over to see him for a little while. I'm really glad I did. By the time we got home it was already after 6 o'clock. It was a crazy day, and I'm glad we are finally home.

Converse Cutie

Today I busted out Charley's pink Converse. Of course she looked super cute.
