It's Preschool Time

Hannah is so excited that preschool has started! I hope that her enthusiasm to learn sticks with her for many more years. Part of the lessons for the week included learning the Pledge of Allegiance (which she can say about half of on her own) and learning about "germy-germs," as she calls it. This year she'll be able to bring in something for show-and-tell on Fridays. I'm interested to see how that goes, as Hannah tends to be a shrinking violet in front of others (gee, I can't imagine where she got that from). I'm excited to see what she learns this year!

Here is her first day of school picture from this year and the picture below is from the first day of 2-year old preschool in 2009. She looks SO grown up!

Watermelon anyone?!?!

For my facebook friends, this is old news...

One of my friends shared a video of a baby in a watermelon and it was the cutest thing. So I thought to myself, let's put William in a watermelon. What I failed to consider was how BIG the watermelon needed to be to fit my extra-large baby in. On our way down to visit my sister and brother-in-law, we stopped at a roadside produce stand and bought the biggest watermelon we could find. Mark scooped all the watermelon out and cleaned it up inside and we attempted to stand William up inside it. It was Mark's idea to do the fancy cuts at the top of the watermelon...it really isn't sharp, so don't go call CPS on me :)

That didn't go so well, so we attempted the "Watermelon Diaper." That was also a big fail, but his face is absolutely priceless!

Poor little guy! Don't tell him what I have planned for Halloween ;)
