Back to School!

Vince's 1st art project of the year- "It's an Art, Mom!"


Mia's 1st haircut!

Been too long as usual that I've written a blog! Time sure flies with 2+ kids and then with school starting up and taking a gymnastics class- we've been very busy bees!
Vince started school the week after Labor Day. He went back with no issues this year, which I was VERY thankful for! He also started a swim club after school on Thursdays, so that day he isn't home till 3, and he's exhausted when he gets home. He has lots of fum with some of his best friends from class. I have Ellie that day so the girls and I usually have some fun girl time. Today we went to the pet store and checked out the puppies and fish. They loved it and so did the puppies. Ellie usually calls out Vince's name a few times while he's at school, it's really cute how much she misses one of her best buddies!
Vince also started taking a gymnastics class which he really seems to enjoy- he is quite the tumbler! He is also really starting to read well and now I REALLY see how important it is to be getting those brains working early- they are SUPER sponges at this age!
He's an especially wonderful big brother and Mommy is very lucky to have him around. He helps me out all the time and loves to help and love on both his little sisters. And they sure do love him!
I can't believe my little guy will be turning 5 in two weeks! Where did it go already and it's just getting faster.

Mia is getting big and thinning out a lot. We're working on the potty training, but not really because she is VERY stubborn. Once she realized this was something she could control, she did. So I guess we'll just have to wait till she changes her mind. :(
She is quite the little talker and her vocabulary compared to Vince at this age is VASTLY different. Mia and Vince have really started playing well together which is really nice for mommy, and for them. They get along very well and love having each other around which helps give me a break!

We're looking forward to this Fall and all the fun it has in store!
XOXO




Doing some "computing"!

Getting ready for school- buddies. Such a cute pic of them!


If only I could drop all 3 off. ;)
They're ready!


Funny quote from Mia after telling her daddy was stuck at the airport with a broken airplane:
"He better find a 'helicoptor' or somephin!"
