First Day of School Fun!!

Well summer is over and Sally started her pre-school last week. She will be going 3 days a week and let me tell you..she was SO excited!!!

A few days before school started a decorated the mantle using vintage flashcards, game pieces, books, an old globe, etc. 

On the morning of the big day, I woke up early and decorated the breakfast table for her. I glued two paper leaves into a red plate....apple plate!! She thought she was such a big girl using a glass bottle and paper straw to drink her juice. 

I packed her lunch in her new bento box from Sugarbooger.

Here is what I made for her: pepperoni and cheese, yogurt raisins, sesame sticks, ABC cookies (from Trader Joes), carrot sticks and snap peas, strawberries and grapes, and cheese crackers. 

We made these treats for her classmates. I found the printables on Pinterest. 

We also made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for her teachers. 

She had a great first day and couldn't wait to go back!!!

Sally at 3 Years Old....better late than never!

Yes I know Sally is 3.5 years old now but I just realized I finished this blog post. Better late than never right?

Loves:

Elephants

My Little Ponies

Mermaids (especially Ariel!)

Animals

Playing Dress Up

Doing Art

Helping Mommy cook 
Going to School

Dislikes:

When the dog licks you
Taking naps 

You took swimming lessons twice this summer and also gymnastics. You know your ABC's and love to count and point out colors.

You are VERY independent and want top try everything by yourself.

We are officially potty trained. I still put you in pull ups at night (just in case). You are so funny now and want your "privacy" for about 1 minute and then call me back into the bathroom. We finally got rid of the paci (VERY hard!!) at around 3 years 4 months. 

You love playing with other children....such a social little girl. You are always trying to play with kids everywhere and are sad when they are hesitant to play with you. You give hugs to everyone and are the happiest girl!

You are a BIG talker. Everyone comments on your amazing vocabulary. I swear you say words and I have no idea where you learned them. 

You LOVE to snuggle with Mommy and Daddy. We are the "snuggle girls" and you and Daddy are the "snuggle bugs"!

You are sassy and its gotten you in trouble a few times. You do not like to make mommy and daddy upset but you have been testing us lately. 3 is definitely harder than 2 was. 

Five On Sunday: Consignment Sales and a Fun New Bag!

I hit up Kidstown Consignment Sale last week and wanted to share my finds. 

Two pairs of ruffle pants and a cute owl outfit. 

Cute top/leggings set, Christmas dress and elephant pajamas

Bird dress and Christmas pajamas

Ballerina dress up outfit

I also got a few games, some sea creature toys, a few dvd and My Little Ponies.

I picked up this wooden caddy at Goodwill about a year ago. It was an ugly wood color so I spray painted it white and then made it into an art center for Sally.

Halloween is just around the corner friends. I fell in love with this countdown calendar and knew I needed to add it to our Halloween festivities. I can't wait to fill it with fun little treats for Sally to open each day leading up to the big day.

I got some sad news from a family member yesterday so please keep our family in your prayers. I listened to my favorite hymn about 5 times this morning.

I have been looking for the perfect black and white striped bag and I finally found it  here. 

I also ordered the cutest elephant charm from Thailand to hang on it.

Hope everyone has a great week. Our local schools start tomorrow and I am once again reminded how blessed I am to be able to stay home with my girl another year.
