Our Little Eager Beaver !!

Who are we and What do we do?
Beavers ! Be00avers ! Beavers!....Sharing ! Sharing! Sharing!
Preston joined Beavers this year. It is the first part of the Boy Scouts Program for 5-7 yr olds. He loves it. Last week he went on a scavenger hunt in the woods and roasted marshmellows. This week he and Dave went on 2 mile hike to see a "real live beaver house". They had fun. Preston was a little pokey but he made it. They ended the trip with hot chocolate and a cookie. This was his first week sporting his new uniform. Isn't he adorable ! He looks so proud.

The Wheels on the Bus go Round and Round...

I forgot to post School bus pics so here they are...

The kiddies were very excited about taking the school bus to school.

We went to School bus safety orientation.... they left armed with school bus rules, a safety certificate and a brand new pencil!

Then the dayof the big event... Dave and I took them to daycare because that is where they will be catching the bus in the mornings. Into daycare we go to get in the "big kid" lineup.

Here is Miss Sandra saying goodbye to her last year pre-schoolers. Don't look to her for support if your trying to keep your composure about your baby starting school !

It's almost time. lining up outside with Miss Jodi to wait for the bus.

There it is.... There it is...........ahhhhh nope not ours, not #21!

I instructed both kids when getting on the bus to turn around and wave to the camera.

Preston you did a great job,

Des, well ....maybe next year.

Miss Jodi waving bye...

So then we followed the bus to the school so we could watch them get off at school. Would they know what to do? would they know where to go? Can they find their teachers? Will they start running in the opposite direction?.....ahhhhhhhhhHHHHHH.

Here comes Preston, yup he found Mrs Kershaw, look at him standing and waiting patiently. I was soooo proud of you Preston. Preston never even noticed us.

Here comes Destiny... this is her spotting me as soon as she disembarked. "Mommy, you're CaRAZYYYYYYY !! then off she ran to find Mrs. Taylor, yup she is the one holding the yellow balloon.


Bye Bye Babies !! Don't miss me too much today! :) and soon they will be seventeen and this will all be a blurr. I think I am crying more now writing this post than I did on that day. I remember when I started Kindergarten , feeling all grown up, being really mad when I caught Mom, Tina and Lisa following me on the back street as I made my first big walk down town all by myself (or so I thought) with my huge pink bookbag and my holly hobbie tin lunch box into the big wooden doors of the United Church. Wow, has it really been 32 years?!

Messy Fun !!

Oh the fun of Finger Painting ! I bought these paints so I can do some face painting at their birthday party but we decided to crack them open a litlle early for some finger painting fun ! Dave brought these big sheets of brown paper home from work one day, they worked perfectly. I think we are going to like wednesday afternoons.

The best part, Old and New Friends
Destiny, Katherine, Tristyn, Preston

I went back to pick them up 2 hours later, they came bursting out the door scanning the crowd to find me, Gave me a hug, threw their bookbags and ventured off to the playground. Then off to McDonalds for a celebratory lunch.

We arrived home to find a dead yellow bird below our picture window. Preston wanted to bury him...and Destiny said ..I should have never went to kindergarden ..I said Why....she said because then i would have been home to pick him up and save him. They were very sad...

...only to be cheered up later by the next event...Destiny caught a snake. She came barreling in the house saying look mommy he keeps sticking his tongue out at me...ewwhhhhhhhh.

Tomorrow will be the first Bus Ride and full day at school....stay tuned
