Tomorrow....??

Yes! FINALLY, I have been able to tell Caitlin, "Tomorrow is the day you start school" She has been beaming all day. We even went and picked out a new outfit (a dress) for the very special occasion. Then of course we had to get matching shoes..so off to payless. She then insisted that we paint her nails. "they have to be beautiful mommy" is what she told me. She is 5 and going to kindergarten....not 16 and going on a date!..YIKES! Of course while I was painting her nails at 7:30pm she fell asleep. OUT COLD! But not before she told me she had to have a heart on the big toes hahaha mommy is not a professional, but I tried~! :-)

She was so sweet and angelic. We just starred at her and thought, 'WOW she is going to school'...it is still hard to believe that this time has already passed and we are at this grand moment in her life. It is only the beginning of many great things she will do. It is just the beginning!

Speaking of great things!!! Our kids have decided they want to be Olympians. They have spent many hours in front of the TV with mom and dad watching the great Olympic athletes. Austin has decided that he wants to do fencing or be some kind of runner. He thinks from all his pirate and Jedi training; he would make the perfect fencing athlete. :-) Arghhh!!
Now Caitlin on the other hand has very grandeur plans. She wants to do gymnastics, swimming, diving, beach volleyball, track and field...pretty much everything she saw! We told them with a LOT of hard work and dedication they can accomplish anything! And of course we will be there to cheer them on. :-D

This weekend we had 2 birthday parties and a cub scout swim party. We realized that Caitlin is a little fish. I didn't take pictures, but she was swimming above and under the water over 6 and 8 foot deep water the width of the pool. And very well, I might add. I guess with size 2 to 2 1/2 feet..she has her own built-in flippers. :-) HAHA! I guess I should look into swimming lessons for this fall! (since I have yet to take the kids to one..oops)

The Olympics are closing now and we must go to bed early for a change. A start of an early and exciting day will be here soon!

The backpacks are waiting and ready to go!! :-D
