Where the Wild Things Are

We saw it. We loved it. We want to see it again.

October 10,2009

What a day this was!
We started this day by getting up at 4am (Minnesota time) On our way to the airport, this is what we were dealing with:
That's right, snow! We told the kids to hurry up so we could get outta here and get to Phoenix!

Once we arrived in Arizona, (1:00 pm Arizona time) this is what we were doing:

Doesn't that just seem amazing? Snow in the AM, swimming and sunshing in the afternoon. Gotta love it.

Fun Facts

* We will be in Phoenix October 10-17th. Hallelujah!
* Both boys are doing well in school. (We think)
* It is very cold and rainy here. The forecast calls for SNOW on Sunday. (hence the hallelujah)
* The boys and I almost ran into a deer. We were driving fast. It was scary.
* Another deer was just hanging out in our front yard today. So weird!
* And for a not-so-fun fact, Andy found out he won't finish his Masters in March as planned, instead it will be June. BOOOOOOO!

Many posts to come after the trip!

It's oh so quiet

And he's off!
Cooper is at his first day of preschool. He was excited and promised to behave. As Charlie and I dropped him off he went from table to table playing with all the different toys. We had to force him to even acknowledge us to say goodbye! The house is dreadfully quiet-something I said I wanted sooo bad. I'm such a liar! Lets hope today and every other Tuesday and Thursday goes well.

Mission Accomplished

One down, one to go

Charlie successfully completed his first day of Kindergarten today! Good God,I didn't know if we (I) were going to get through it, but it was awesome! He's only going half day mornings, and he even gets to ride the bus home! He says he can't remember anyones name, and he promises he didn't get in trouble AT ALL. (His teacher only had to tell him "shush" once :)) We are so happy for our big guy. I truly feel like I sent him into that building as a baby/child and he came out a man. Here's to hoping the next year goes as well as today did.
Goodbyes are never easy...
In his classroom


Coop stood outside waiting for the bus to pull up to give Charlie his first day of school presents! (Balloons and cupcakes. And he got a brand new watch in the morning before he left)


First day of school, along with his FIRST BUS RIDE!
