Miss Sadie's 1st day of Preschool

 

She was so excited to get to school this morning can't you tell?  Really she was excited she was just done with pictures.

Nina isn't in her class this year but she is next door.  And Miss Susie wanted to be a part of everything too.

I can say this about Sadie...she isn't shy.  She walked right up to the kids and introduced herself.

Miss Sadie is in the Super Stars class.  Her teachers are Miss Shari and Miss Lyndy

Already taking charge

Our friend Caylee is in Sadie's class.  Sadie was very excited about that.  Here are all the girls after school was over.

This is Sadie and Breck.  Breck is a friend of mine's grandson.  It was such a nice surprise to know he was in Sadie's class.

Sadie made this today in her class.  She was very happy and is excited about the school year.

Sadie's Haircut

In honor of school starting next week we went and had about 5 inches of hair cut off of Sadie's hair.

 

The hair cut makes her look so much older.  Kind of makes me sad.

Goree Picnic

I have to say I'm slacking in the photos department lately.  With the twins it's just enough that we get to where we are going lately let alone trying to capture pictures. 

 

But we had a great night at the Goree picnic.  Here is Hettie and Halle they are not quite 2 months apart.  They both have the same middle name Marie. I love that Hettie is going to have a cousin her age to grow up with.

Unfortunately the big kids decided to roll around in the grass and they all got bit by fire ants.  Poor Sadie was COVERED! This picture is even after an allegra that Susie gave her at the park.

We gave her a bath and this picture is after the bath.  Poor thing we had to get cream to put on it and it still took forever for the bites to go away.

Canvas Art Project

Today I decided to get Sadie and the twins to help me do some canvas art.  First project is the footprint butterflies.  I've seen them on pintrest here but hadn't done it yet.  So here is my attempt.

 

First you'll need a canvas, paint, brush(es) and tape.

I painted the bottom of the kids' feet two different colors.  I didn't get a shot of the twins as they were a bit squirmy.

Now to make the wings of the butterflies you stamp the feet on the opposite sides.  Meaning...Sadie's right foot is on the left of the canvas and her left foot is on the right side of the canvas.

Here is a shot of the canvas with all the foot prints.

Then take a sharpie and draw the body between the foot print and add a head and antenna.  Last step is to take the kids finger and use their fingerprint at the top of the antenna.

I wrote our butterflies and date but you could leave it or put your children's names beneath whatever tickles your fancy.

The second canvas art project was strictly for Sadie.

I taped off the word LOVE on the canvas and gave her all colors of paint and had her finger paint all over the canvas.  **Note: I helped as she got bored but as soon as I started helping she was having fun again.**

Here is Miss Sadie working on her master piece.

Once the paint is dry peel the tape off and there you go.

I especially love the hand print right next to the letter L.

Missing Photos from the Twin's Blessing

I was going through Sadie's camera and found these photos that she had taken the day the twins were blessed.  They were really good shots so I thought I better post them.  She is becoming quite the photographer.

July Fun

Here are some fun random pictures from July. The twins are getting so big and Sadie is adjusting well.

Stop Over in Etna

It would not be a completed trip to Etna if we didn't stop at Dotty's! I used to work here in High School and I have very fond memories of this place.

Here is 1/2 a Cattlemen's Sandwich and fries with cheese.  Not pictured a Raspberry milkshake...It was already gone.  haha.

It was a little warmer than the twins were used too so we stripped them down and kept them cool.  I love Hettie's face in this picture...she was actually sound asleep.
