Preschool Days

Taylor has started preschool again and loves it. Its three days a week since he is in the older group. He goes down the street from our house. It is the second year Taylor is doing preschool but its the first year Riley has noticed Taylor is gone. You would think Riley would like some one on one time with Mom but Riley is pretty sad the whole time Taylor is in school. He walks around the house saying "Tay, Tay, Tay home home." Its pretty sad. Then when we start to walk down the street to pick Taylor up Riley gets really excited. I am glad Taylor is loving preschool and has many friends. We look forward to another year with his excellent teacher Miss Sarah.

Labor Day Rocks

I have found since being married holidays are sometimes more stressful then fun. Don't get me wrong I enjoy being with family but sometimes with two families there is alot of running around to do and not enough relaxing. That's why my new favorite holiday is Labor Day. Kalvin had the day off of work! Yippee. Emily, Wes and Hailey were visiting and had stayed the night at our place so that afternoon we had a barbecue with my side of the family. FUN FUN! Everyone cleared out by three and Riley and I got take a little nap (NICE). After naps we had dinner as a family, its sad but this is a rare occasion during the week with work schedules. We then went to the park. Riley loves the park and is finally at the age where I don't have to chase after him while he is teetering on all the steps and slides. We then headed home and watched Rio and had milkshakes. The kids were then in bed by nine and Kal and I had a relaxing rest of the night. What a prefect day!!!! Did I already mention I love Labor Day!!!
