Someone is feeling left out

Lovely Lovely London has been feeling left out of the blog lately. So here are some cute photos of her from this morning.



4 Year Old Preschool

Hailey had her first offical day of 4 year old preschool today. She was so excited to finally be able to go to school at a real school just like Carson did. Of course I had to take a lot of photos!


Cutie Hay




Thumbs up!


London wanted in on the photo action.



Come on, no more pictures let's go!






First worksheet at school.

Back to School

Back to school. Back to school, to prove to Dad that I'm not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight. Ohhhh, back to school. Back to school. Back to school. Well, here goes nothing. (Name the show!)

Carson had his first day of KINDERGARTEN today. He was so excited. We took the usual "before we leave home" pictures, followed by a few at school. Mrs. Stewart is his teacher. When asked how his day was this afternoon at pick up he said, "KINDERGARTEN IS AWESOME!"

Carson becomes a True Texan

Famous Texan proverb - "I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could."

Carson has been all about Texas since he started tackle football a few weeks ago. The fact that they even have tackle football for 5 & 6 year old boys is already Texan in and of itself. Of course, what team does he end up on - The Texans!

Well, I figured I might as well make the conversion complete and take him to his first Houston Texans football game. We picked up some cheap last minute tickets for the first Preseason game against the Jets tonight (by last minute I mean several hours before the game started - gotta love being able to download and print your tickets online). He was far more into the game than I expected he would be. I think I was reminded to 'make some NOISE dad!' a couple of dozen times before halftime.

We stayed all the way up to the winning touchdown with just 2 minutes left in the game before I convinced him we needed to hurry before there wasn't enough room left on the tram back to downtown. Here are a few pictures of our little Texan on his night out at Reliant Center...








Favorite Carson quote of the week


Carson: While looking at NFL logos on a pamphlet - "Dad, why do all of the Texas things have a star on them?"
Me: "Why do YOU think there is a star on a lot of Texas things?"
Carson: "Because Texas is AWESOME!"
Me: "Correct"

HONESTY

Well at least Hailey is honest. I love how kids just tell it how it is. I just started a movie for Hailey because London is down for a nap. (Oh how I love quiet time!) Hailey said, "Mom, you can sit here by me on the couch. Look I moved over and there is a lot of space because you have a big bum. That's kind of funny you have a big bum." Yes, yes I do. Thanks for pointing that out for me sweetheart! I love you too!
