The summer is wrapping up and the weather is getting cold!
On Sept 9 (a week and a half ago) we started our first day of preschool. We went to Creative Play preschool last year, so we're not new to the class, but we have all new friends in our class! Mrs. Bodin & Mrs. Hanks were happy to have us back in their class. Mrs. Bodin & Mrs. Hanks are also happy that I'm reading! I really am impressing them with my reading skills. I love to read - I read everything I can see (signs) and get my hands on (books).
Our first day, mommy took us and stayed with us. Only half of our class was there on that day. This whole past week (our first full week of school) almost everyone was there. The buses weren't running so Daddy took off work to bring us. We were picker-uppers, so we were so cool! We love riding the bus with the schoolkids, but we love to be picked up at school sometimes.
I am making new friends slowly. It's so much easier to just hang with Hannah, but I've met new friends. Hannah is a little more shy but she'll make some new friends this year.
The first day of school, she couldn't find her mailbox in class because Mrs. Bodin gave us all new mailboxes. Mommy tried to point her new mailbox out but she kept insisting that was Joey's mailbox. Joey is in kindergarten now; Joey's old mailbox is now hers. My new mailbox is Hannah's old mailbox from last year.
Last weekend we got to spend Saturday at the Diva Stud volleyball party with Mommy & Daddy. All the Diva families were there. We had some yummy food and lots of time to play in the sand where the adults usually only play. There were lots of girls, and most of them were doing some cheerleading dances. For a while, us 3 4-year old boys played Hot Wheels.
This weekend was a busy one! Friday night, Daddy got us Chinese food. I liked it. Hannah didn't (except the rice, noodles and sweet & sour chicken without the sauce). Then Daddy got the bonfire out and we had a bonfire with our neighbor Griffin. It was fun! We got to have s'mores and stay up late.
Saturday was a SURPRISE party for my best friend Grayson. We went to a place with a GIANT play area, waited for Grayson and surprised him when he came in. He was surprised! He looked a little scared at first, but when he realized what it was, he was so happy! We were so happy to see each other, we ran to each other and gave each other a hug. After games, pizza, cake and presents, we got to play in the play area. It was awesome! We played for 2 hours before going home.
We got prizes and toys from the party. I got some candy and a funny face, Hannah got a tiara crown. The place with the party also had a cool bridge outside, so we got to play on the bridge before we went home.
After supper, we walked down to a local church carnival. We played a few games and won some prizes. It was fun, but we didn't stay long because Daddy said we had to go home for bedtime.
Today, we got up and went to Sunday School. Last week was our first day of Sunday School. TJ & Penney are our teachers again, so we're so excited about them! They're so awesome.
After Sunday School, we got ready to go to a Twins game. Hannah has been talking about this all week. We were excited! Unfortunately, it drizzled and rained on us most of the time. But, we brought our blankets, rain coats and snacks so we made it to the 7th inning. After the 7th inning, we got some lemonade and waited to run the bases. We got to go down under the bleachers and then out on the field to run the bases. We got to run the same bases that Joe Mauer runs! It was awesome. Mommy & Daddy didn't get to run with us (though, Mommy got her picture taken with TC Bear while we ran the bases).
When we got done running the bases, we got to go out to dinner at Sunshine Factory. It was a really good day, but after our baths, we were exhausted.
We're looking forward to school tomorrow. Hannah has the sharing bag (I got sharing bag last week) and I am bringing treats. It's going to be a fun day!
