Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We're wearing our green today. And making our green jello.

Park Days!

What do we do when the weather finally hits 70 and sunny? Park time! 

Eggs!

First, you peel the egg ALL by yourself. 

Then, you slice it! What a fun snack. 

Gymnastics Fun!

Richland has a great gymnastics place. We had never gone to their 0-6 year old playtime before so decided to give it a try. It was free our first time! Of course, they want to go back after all the fun they had!

The foam square pit. A big hit. 

A bar to swing on that's just her size! 

A huge trampoline that she LOVED!

Walking on the balance beam. He did pretty well!

Monkey bars! He went all the way across by himself and was quite proud. 

Kindergarten!!

I registered Nathan for kindergarten today! Well, I picked up the registration packet anyway. It was so long I couldn't get it all done at the office. I'll have to bring it back in tomorrow.

Of course Nathan wanted to come. I started filling out the paperwork, but he was getting pretty impatient just sitting there in the office. He wanted to meet his teacher and see his classroom. I had to explain to him that that wouldn't happen for awhile! They'll be having something in April so he can go in and see classrooms and meet the teachers.

Due to bussing schedules and the location of the new house we're building, he will be in afternoon kindergarten. We were really hoping for morning due to Jeremy's schedule. Sadly, when Nathan starts kindergarten he won't see Jeremy for 5 days in a row.

Nathan will get on the bus for kindergarten just as Jeremy is waking up. And when Nathan gets home from kindergarten, Jeremy will already be gone. So basically, the 3 hours Jeremy is up and home are the 3 hours that kindergarten takes place!

Swing shift isn't a really great shift to be on when the kids are in school! Jeremy will be able to change shifts in January so he might shift to graveyard so he'll be waking up just as Nathan is coming home from kindergarten. That might work better. We will see!

Park Play!

Well, it's that time of the year when we FINALLY get to go play outside since the weather is going to cooperate (and it's about a month sooner here than it was in Suncrest)! Time to hit up the parks. Today, we went on a playdate with some friends in Richland.

Big Girl Bed!

Elizabeth has a big girl bed! We got her a mattress about a week ago so she's been sleeping on a mattress on the floor. She's done fine. Today, Jeremy built her the actual bed frame. We got the same one Nathan  has(except in white)  since he likes to put his things on the little shelves. 

Here's the completed bed. She loves Rapunzel!

She set up some of her favorite stuffed animals and water cups on her shelves and we tried to put her down for a nap. Nope. No nap today. She talked for a while. Looks like an early bed time tonight!
