First Big Day


Macy had her first day of preschool! It wasn't long enough (for the both of us)! She was so mad when I came to pick her up at 11:30 am. She wanted to stay longer. I had to pick her up and carry her out of there. She is just so happy to be back. Good thing she has a whole year of it!

Macy had been looking forward to this day for a long time. She got up first thing and made her bed and got dressed all on her own. Then we had a little hair drama. Supposedly, there was a part that looked "messy" and she put her face in her hands and cried. Oh, my goodness! What am I going to do with her? I can't complain because I was just like her when I was little. Everything had to be perfectly in place. My poor Mom. Picture days were the worst. It looks like I got one just like me and she is only 4!


Macy also had her first day of dance lessons at the Corvallis Academy of Ballet. It was precious to see the little girls twirling, leaping and bounding across the floor. So graceful! She has a darling, darling teacher. It's very professional, the whole studio and all. I've been very impressed with it and so happy we found it. I took the twins to watch and they layed on their tummies and watched at the door. I wish I'd had my camera to capture that moment.

All in all, it's been a productive but exhausting day and it's only Monday. Summer spoiled me but a routine will be good. Maybe I'll get more done. Yeah, right! Not with my little tornadoes running around (a.k.a Nicholas and Karlee). I cannot turn my back for one second. They are busy, busy bodies that deserve their own post. To be continued...

Go Beavers!!!

We were able to get tickets to the other OSU game last Saturday (as in Oregon State University). It was extremely toned down from the Ohio State games but very family friendly. We had great covered seats and our kids just loved being outside and watching the game. Macy spend the whole time looking for Benny the Beaver Oregon State's mascot. Nicholas and Karlee loved hanging on the banister. I ran out of snacks after the 1st quarter but suprisingly, we made it through the whole game. It was a blow-out! Go Beavers!!! Now, all we can think about is the Ohio State game on Saturday against USC. We'll be cheering for the Buckeyes!
