Don't just take my word for it! (Miss C, August 2015)


8/3/15: Charlotte put a sheep puppet onto her hand while sitting on the bean bag and made it dance around and singing "clean up clean up every one clean up. Baa baa baa." How cute.

8/7/15: Charlotte was playing hide and seek with her friends in the cubbies today. She would pop out and say, "I'm in here!”


8/7/15 (special note): Charlotte enjoyed an ice cream sandwich treat for snack. Yum!



8/12/15: Charlotte was so cute as she used a toy watering can as a microphone outside. Charlotte was singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" into the watering can.


8/13/15: When the big kids came out to ride their bikes, Charlotte ran over to the fence and started yelling, "Anna Kelly, Anna Kelly where are you?" How cute!

8/14/15: Charlotte enjoyed exploring wooden spoons today. She was happy with the music she created as she banged them on the floor.


8/18/15: Today Charlotte used a picture frame as a phone. Charlotte held it up to her ear and had a conversation with her mommy. :)

8/19/15: Charlotte loved using the sponge outside to splash her friends with water today. She would soak it in the bucket of water then take it and squeeze it on her friends. They all loved it, she was the fan favorite outside.


8/20/15: Charlotte was really getting into the African dancing we had in the gym. Anna was in he gym as well and they started dancing together. So cute!

8/21/15: Charlotte was singing her ABCs during snack this morning and was very proud of herself when she got to the end because she clapped and said, “yay"!

8/24/15: Welcome to the Manatee classroom. We are so excited to have Charlotte. Her friend Michael was so excited to see her that he threw his morning snack way just so he could play with her. :)  (This started your love affair with Ms Heather!)


8/25/15: We made school busses during art today so along with that we sang the wheels on the bus. Charlotte knows all the movements and the verses!


8/27/15: Charlotte loves books. Whenever we read a book she is right there in the front listening so attentively. Love it!


8/31/15: Charlotte sure does love the blue bean bag chair. During nap we moved it under the sensory table and low and behold we found Charlotte sitting in the bean bag chair under the sensory table. She is a hoot.

First days

After seeing so many cute picture of my friend's kiddos heading off to school, I couldn't help snap a picture on Anna's first day of pre-K. She looks so grown up! When did that happen??

"I want to be a farmer when I grow up!"



And Miss C couldn't resist getting in on the action too, and preferred a solo picture, thank you very much.

Put me in coach!

Randomly during a regular trip to Target, Anna asked me if I'd buy her a ball and bat so that she could play baseball. Off to the sports aisle we went where she selected a bat, ball and glove, and I bought a tee for good measure. Turns out a metal bat isn't the best idea for our girls, so Daddy came to the rescue and found a pink whiffleball bat that fit the bill. Clearly she's a natural and Mike has loved spending time teaching her America's pastime.

Friday funny

This is Charlotte Rose Kelly to a T!



And she'd get in a lot more trouble if she didn't have that million dollar smile ....

Say cheese!

"how about we say 'nectarine' since that's what we're eating?"
We love fresh fruit in the summer!
And eating it at our kitchen island :)

Tag along toys

Sometimes you have a name brand purse that your toddler insists belongs in her dress-up bin. And sometimes you need that purse to complete your outfit for a date afternoon at the ballpark. In those instances, you might find a few tag-along toys in said purse ; )

A girl's first hibachi

Checkin' milestones on the list left and right, we are : ) Unfortunately the hibachi wasn't as fun as we'd hoped, and it won't be in the regular rotation anytime soon, but it was about as successful as any family meal at a restaurant these days ...
