First Day of School & Scoops & Soccer Practice

Brycen on his first day of pre-school

and just to compare-- this is Brycen on his first day of pre-school last year. It makes me soooo sad, he looks so much older this year!
showing off his new motorcycle backpack... The picture is foggy looking b/c it was so steamy out Monday morning my camera fogged up.

I was so nervous b/c Brycen was starting his new pre-school on Monday. This week has went so well though and he seems to like it. I asked him on Monday if he made any new friends b/c he didn't know even one other child that was going there and he said, "well I made friends w/ my teachers!". haha, too funny! I asked him if he played w/ any of the other little boys and he said, "No, I talked to them, but I didn't want to play with them." ! Who knows about him! I was a little concerned that he wasn't making friends, but yesterday when I picked him up they were playing outside and he was pulling a little girl in a wagon. I was so glad to at least see him interacting with another child! He has always had tons of friends at his old school so I didn't understand why he kept telling me he didn't here. I asked him yesterday what the little girls name was that he was pulling in the wagon and he said, "I don't know, but she is allergic to food!" Too cute... he is at least paying attention to SOMETHING!


Tuesday evening B had soccer practice again. He really loves it!

pretty sure you can tell he does by the look on his face here!


I'm glad he enjoys it so much! He begged to play, but I wasn't sure if he would like it... and PC didn't have soccer until after I had graduated, so I'm a little out of my league when it comes to knowing anything, but I'm learning along with him! He starts games next Saturday (the 22nd!). He should be interesting! It is so cute to watch them out there (all the kids are 3 & 4). The coach calls it "organized chaos". :)

Tuesday night Olivia came up from Owensboro to spend the night so she could spend the day with us on Wednesday. We were in bed Tuesday when she got there, but Brycen couldn't wait to wake Livy up Wed. morning! We just hung out around the house and then went to Washington to get lunch at Mason's and eat some ice cream at Scoops :) Two of my favorite places! It was such a beautiful day Wednesday! I was so glad. We played outside when we got home and then took naps.

Wednesday evening B and I went to Vincennes with my mom to Kohl's. We had a coupon for 30% off your total so I thought I'd go check it out. I got Brycen a new pair of jeans and a few shirts for fall-- which he really needed! He is really in between sizes right now and it's hard to shop for him! I also got him a new pair of brown shoes for fall/winter.


He has been cracking me up with words and things he has been saying... For example, he doesn't call the other kids at pre-school "kids" he calls them children. I.E. Brycen says, "The other children still have to hang their name up." (they have a sign in w/ their name on little tags) I have no idea where he got that unless it was from his teachers, b/c I say "kids" not "children". He also has started substituting the word "frightened" for "scared". He was telling a story about a deer and said, "And then the deer was frightened!". It is especially funny to hear it coming out of a little boys mouth.


Last night we didn't do much- just stuff around the house. Tonight we're just staying at home because tomorrow I have a full day. I have Kayla's baby shower for Kaydee Mae in the morning and then a bachelorette supper tomorrow evening in Evansville.


Hope ya'll have wonderful weekends ahead!

B is growing up! Glad he's enjoying school so much. If it makes you feel any better, most of my K students take at least a good week before they actually "play" with "friends." A lot of them run around on their own or with random people every day until they get used to each other. btw, Mason's & Scoops are two of my fave places too;) every time I drive by both of them I tell myself that i need to stop in before they close up for the summer!

Awe...Brycen looks like such a big-boy with his backpack!

I know what you mean about getting sad as you look at last year's picture and see how much he has grown:)

I feel like that about our 3-year old.
I keep thinking, "What happened to my little baby?!"

I do a few different meals. Always do cookies (freeze dough balls and then can cook later). Baked Spaghetti is my easiest and best I think. Lazana and Chicken Lazana. If you send me your email I will email you my recipes :)
