First Day of PreSchool

Elijah has been so excited to start school this year!  We went to his school's open house on Tuesday, and he loved his classroom and all the fun things to do in it.  When I dropped his off this morning, he walked right into the room without even telling me goodbye!  I called him back and made him give me a hug and kiss before I walked back down to the high school-he didn't miss me at all!  Better than having him cry I guess.  He loved his first day at school, and is excited to go back tomorrow.

Elijah's Birthday Party

Elijah's party was today, we had brats, polish sausage, hotdogs, cookie salad, two pasta salads, and veggies.  It was a really nice day out-I think it may have gotten to 80 at the end of the party.  It was nice being able to be outside all day!

Elijah's cake-he was so excited when I showed it to him at Hugo's when we picked it up!

 It took several tries to blow out all the candles...

 Excited to open presents!  Elijah got lots of Cars stuff, Ladder Golf, puzzles and games, and some cars and trucks.  Seth supervised the entire unwrapping and let us know all the toys that he wanted to play with.  Luckily they share pretty well most of the time.

Happy 5th Birthday Elijah!!

Hard to believe it's been 5 years since this guy was born!!  Daddy went golfing today, so it was just Mommy and the boys.  Today was the boys' first day back at daycare full time-Mommy started in-services today.  Todd & Tracy came over to give Elijah his present and we had cake with them.  All of the pictures of Elijah eating cake are a little goofy-he couldn't find his nice smile for some reason.

 Headed downstairs for bed.

 I don't think I've posted any pictures of the boys' new bedroom...  They moved down there the last week of July, and so far like it alot.

 Seth wanted me to take pictures of him too, but he was being really silly and this was the best I got.

Making Cupcakes

Putting the finishing touches on the cupcakes for the party.

31 Weeks & Baby's Room

31 Weeks 2 days

 No, we don't know what we're having.  I just didn't want to paint over all the sports ball stencils that I spent hours putting on a couple years ago!  I added all the curtains and bedding that Grandma Mary made when we were expecting Elijah, so it's somewhat gender neutral...  If it's a girl, we'll add some pink and call it good!

Watering the Flowers...

and the boys.  Maybe they'll start growing??  They thought it was pretty funny-I was surprised they didn't complain about how cold the water was!
