My Couch

This is what my couch looked like at the beginning of the week:

This is what my couch looks like now:

Let's hope this does not take over for the weekend:

Scarily Quiet

I just came downstairs after putting Target Girl down for a nap and it was silent downstairs. Thoughts of marker on the walls, a total mess somewhere, or the boys escaping outside all ran through my head. But instead, I found this:

AMAZING.

Daddy's Little Girl

I just uploaded pictures from the camera and found these of my cute baby girl! She's getting OLD!

Preschool

Today was Target Boy's first day of preschool and he was beyond excited! He had his backpack packed and on two hours before we were supposed to leave. He got to pick out a new soccer pencil from our stash and wanted to take his workbook with him, but I convinced him to take a notebook instead (not that he needed either, but he felt cool).

As soon as he woke up he asked if he was five now, because we told him he could go to school when he was five. He was excited to learn (again) that he could go to preschool at four. As we talked about going to school, he told me that I was just supposed to walk him in and then go back to the house and he could ask his teacher her name, under no circumstance was I supposed to stay with him.

When we got there, he was just a little shy, but answered his teacher's questions and started asking his own, and pretty much shoved Target Baby, Target Girl, and I out of the door. Target Baby of course cried because he wanted to stay too. Class was only an hour long today(and the rest of this week), so when it got out Target Boy cried all the way to the car because he didn't want to go yet.

He had a great day and was so excited to meet his teacher and all of his new friends.

I love Target!

I love Target for numerous reasons. I mean they do fund my entire life. But today, I love them because of my incredible shopping trip. For all these deals head over HERE, she tells you all you need to know.

Star Wars: A young Padowan's Birthday Party

Target Boy turned 4 August 15th and so Saturday we had his birthday party. He has been talking about his birthday party for months, and scouring oriental trading company's party supply magazine like it was a toy catalog. He finally settled (or rather we did) on a Star Wars theme. The party was a lot of fun and he had lots of friends come over to play. It was pouring outside throughout the whole thing, so we had to improvise lots of the activities. I know Target Boy had a great time though, and didn't know what else he was missing.
