Book Dedication

Okay, so this happened last week but for some reason I forgot to post the pictures. I actually forgot my camera, go figure. But luckily my friend saved the day and met me at Addison's school with a camera. Regan was very happy to get her books. Not so coincidentally, all of her books were princess books and the teacher who was reading her dedications said "Regan, I am sensing a theme here."

On a side note: Aunt Bonnie, Regan was not so sure about princesses wearing hiking boots. She said to me "Mommy, princesses don't really wear hiking boots, do they?"

More Pool Time

Yesterday the girl's played in the pool while I worked. I had to work at a Junior League event and Darcy was kind enough to keep the girl's for me. Thanks Darcy!

High School Dedication

On Wednesday Regan had a half day at school, because they were dedicating the high school. I went to the dedication and brought Regan home afterwards. It was a very nice dedication. The bishop of Louisiana came and did the sermon and the dedication. It was very nice.

Pool Time

Darcy is visiting us this week from Montana with her beautiful baby. She is one of the cutest, happiest babies that I have ever seen. Of course, Addison is in heaven. She has been very funny this week. I picked them up from the airport in New Orleans and brought them to Sue's house before we made the trek to good ole Lafayette. Addison wanted to help feed Ryenn (Darcy's baby). So, she has the spoon up to Ryenn's mouth and she says "Eat this, baby." She mostly calls her baby and sometimes baby Ryenn. The first night that Ryenn was here as Addison was going to bed she said "I don't want baby Ryenn to leave." I think she was afraid that she was going to leave after she went to sleep. Regan has enjoyed having Ryenn here, too. Everyday when I pick her up from school she asks if Ryenn is away, because she wants to play with her.

Addison's First Big Girl Haircut

Addison got her first big girl haircut last weekend. I have to say, she did really well. It was her first time not sitting on my lap while she got her haircut. As always, I think it helped that her sister went first. It also helped a lot that Matt's mom came and got the girls when they were done. Thanks Sue!

Ready for the Saints to Play

Funny Story

Matt to Addison this morning: Are you ready for big girl school?

Addison to Matt: Yes! Are you ready for big boy work?

Addison's First Day of School

Well, I must say I felt guilty because I could not bring Addison for her first day of her 2 1/2 year old class. I had to work at my Junior League placement. But I think it actually worked out better. Her best friend's mom took her for me. As soon as I told her that she had school today... her first question was "Is Emory going to be there?" Then she was very excited to go to Emory's house. She likes to go to his house, because he has lots of instruments. Now if you have seen our playroom, you know that my children are not deprived of toys. And we even have some instruments. But we don't have as many as Emory.... so, his house is better. : ) I think it was also better that she was able to walk in to class with him. His mom told me that Emory was basically telling her to get lost and Addison was just following along after him. I don't know what they are going to do when they have to go to different schools, but we have two more years to worry about that....

Inpromptu Princess Party

Regan is ALWAYS planning a party at our house. Everyday she is planning a different kind of party that she is going to invite people to. She makes lists of who to invite. She writes invitations. Matt and I are convinced that she is either going to be a party planner or an actress. We're not sure which she loves more... the stage or a party. Today we were at a neighborhood birthday party and the neighborhood girls decided they wanted to come over to our house to play. I heard them calling it a princess party, so I guess Regan finally got her wish.
