Happy Bithday to Dinah!

Well Dinah turned 1 yesterday. We had a simple but fun party. Dinah actually fell asleep right before Granny, Laurel & Roine and the cousins got here. But dinner was good, Dinah got to open a present, and she did very well I might add. She actually ripped the paper off of the box. So cute. We finished the night up with cake. We had made her, her own cake so she could eat/destroy it all she wanted (don’t worry I made a little one). She didn’t get very messy though. He face was messy and her hands, and the high chair tray but the rest of her body stayed relatively clean. She is so cute. All in all it was a fun night, and Dinah had a blast.

Getting ready for Halloween

Well I got out the Halloween costumes yesterday to try them on. My rule to decide when it’s time to get ready for Halloween is when I see the costumes in the stores it’s time to get the ones we have out to try them on, just so that IF we need to buy something we know way in advance. There have been too many years where it’s the day before Halloween and we still don’t have a costume that fits. And when we try to go buy one, there is almost NO selection. So I try to make sure I take care of this early.

Thanks to Grandma we have LOTS of costumes now, and something seems to always fit everybody (but it’s always good to double check and make sure). So Ethan tried on a couple of costumes, that he likes. Tyra tried on a couple that she really likes. Dinah has a couple of costumes that fit nicely. And Jeremy just has Snoopy. But he wouldn’t have it any other way. He insisted on being Snoopy ALL day yesterday. Then this morning he woke up and pulled off his pjs and got the Snoopy costume back on all by himself. He’s so cute.

Ethan’s second week of school

Ethan has successfully completed his second week of school. He REALLY likes school now. I was concerned that he was going to have issues with not having someone he knows in his class. But he is really enjoying it, and looks forward to going every day. In fact he was kind of mad when I told him that he doesn’t get to go to school on Saturdays and Sundays, and that Monday was a holiday and there was no school that day either.

This week at school the whole kindergarten are learning about their colors, and learning how to read the color names. The kindergarten teachers thought it would be fun if each day there was a focus on one color and asked all the kindergarteners to wear the color of the day. So last weekend we set out the clothes for the week, each day it’s own color. Tyra and Jeremy wanted to wear the color of the day too.

Tuesday was red day.
