First Day of 4-year-old Preschool

This morning was Kara's first day of preschool again at Grandma K's house.  Kara was excited to see all of her friends from last year and meet a new girl.  It starts earlier now--8:30--so it was quite a shock to both of us when our alarms went off at 7:10.  I allowed extra time this morning in case there were any first day "bumps" to deal with.  We were ready EARLY!  It was so sad when I told Kara when we got in the car that we were early.  She looked at me with a very confused expression on her face.  We are RARELY early anywhere.  We are either on time or I talk about having to hurry so we aren't late.  I got SO much done around the house while she was gone.  We are re-doing her play room, making a guest room and pretty much doing an overhaul on the whole house.

Kara was happy running out the front door of Grandma's house with her friends at noon.  I am excited to have a little more time to get stuff done but it was strange being at home without her on my heels.  Here's to a great new school year!

Trip to the Beach

When Jamie was here with her kids from Utah we all went to the beach.   Our family, Marci's family, Jamie's family, Grandma K, and Krishawn + girls.  It was SO hot at home.  I think it got up to 111.  At the beach it was 82...much nicer.  The kids had a very good time.  Everybody brought yummy snacks to share and the adults had some time to visit and catch up. 

Aaron started school last week and Kara starts 4-year-old preschool on Monday.  Lots of fun things coming up!
