Preschool!!

My big girl started Preschool!  Day one started off pretty rough...the morning was a battle and not because she didn't want to go because she didn't really know what was happening.  I don't know what the problem was but everything we did was wrong.  Wrong breakfast, wrong clothes, wrong EVERYTHING!  We finally got out the door just in time as I quickly tried to get the cute "first day of school picture of my child standing by the door with her backpack on and big smile on her face" but clearly that was not happening!  Instead I got a "I'm going to throw a tantrum because I am tired, hungry, and don't want this thing on my back!"  Oh well...maybe next year!

We dropped her off and she went in with no problem.  I think it helps that her class is the same room that they use for the church nursery so she is used to it.  She just had no idea that she would be there for 4 hours instead of just one!  I, on the other hand, was a little misty-eyed.  I didn't cry but it was very strange!  I remember saying "Now what do I do??"  



Pick up was so exciting!  She was so happy to see us and was in the BEST mood ever!  Total 180 from the morning.  I guess she likes school!




Waiting to pick up my big sissy from school!



Day 2...not much better but progress!

Cloth Dipes!

So we started cloth diapering.  Totally the best thing I have ever done for my girls.  And who doesn't love a cute fluffy butt!?  I have had fun trialing different dipes and trying to figure out which ones we like the best to complete our stash.  Of course, I am sure I will change it up as time goes on but I am excited to be able to save our family some money and do something good for not only my girls but for the environment as well.  I started out with just one of a few different brands and have sort of narrowed it down to a couple different brands.  We have "daddy/babysitter" diapers and then some that are a little more involved that mommy takes care of.  Although daddy does a pretty good job...he just doesn't spray off poopy!

Here are some pics of my little fluffy butts!
