Isabella's Preschool Celebration

Isabella celebrated her year at preschool back in mid May. (I am a little behind on posts.)  Each class sang or performed to a few action songs.  Of course there were a lot of waves to parents and family in the crowd.

Mother's Day Gifts




I have one little one that thinks that I am 55 years old, and the other one couldn't decide between 14 or 15 years old.  Isabella said she made a really good guess on my age.  I asked her how old she thought  her dad was and she thought 56.  At least Matt is still older than me.  Isaac also thought I only weighed 15 pounds.  His response when I questioned him, was that he hadn't seen me step on the scale for awhile. 

They both did a great job with the shopping response.  However, I questioned Isabella about the TV answer, since I very rarely watch TV while they are ever awake.  She told me that she really likes to watch TV.

Flying High

Finally, a nice spring day!  The little ones enjoyed some time in the afternoon flying their kites.

Isaac got the hang of flying his kite before Isabella did.
It is finally getting off the ground.
Look how high it is flying!

Finally, both are flying high at the same time!
Stay up there!
The Barbie kite was renamed the Pink Sting Ray by Bella.
Sky High!
Isabella complained that Isaac was always taking
all the wind and never leaving her any to fly her kite.
In the video Isaac has the flying kite business down.  However, check out Isabella.  She is the one being a grumpy pants since she can't keep her kite in the air.

First Spring Soccer Game


Isaac had his first spring soccer game today.  It was a hoot with sixteen four and five years old on the field at one time.  They usually were all in one big herd trying to see who could kick the ball first.  Good thing they all have to wear shin guards!

Just Being Funny

According to Isabella:  This is a dairy horse.  Why?  A dairy cow is white with black spots, therefore this horse is a dairy horse.


According to Isaac: We are eating Ice Cream Mondays.  It can't be ice cream sundaes if today is Monday!

Song and Dance

Isaac is learning about the letter "D" at preschool this week.  They use the "Letter People" program.  Mr. D dances.  Here is Isaac doing his favorite dance The Mexican Hat Dance

Isabella has decided to create her own original song.  She has requested that they write the song down and put it in the song book at preschool.  This way her entire class can sing along with her.  Don't you like how she got into it by even dressing for the song!  She and Isaac are REALLY ready for warmer weather, along with the rest of us.

Ice is Better Than Snow

Isaac had a fun afternoon sledding on the icy  grass.  If he didn't steer just right he hit a few road blocks, but when he was on the right path he had a great ride.  Normally, the kids can just make it to the garden (the rectangle area of dirt), but the icy grass made for smooth sailing.
