Buttons!

Sarah buttoned her shirt all by herself today for the very 1st time!  We’re so proud of her!!

Girl Cheese Sandwiches

Sarah’s new favorite sandwiches are grilled cheese sandwiches.  Kenneth has been making them for lunch a lot, and one day at lunch Sarah asked him “Daddy, if girls eat girl cheese sandwiches does that mean boys eat boy cheese sandwiches?”  It’s funny how kids hear and interpret words sometimes!

Halloween 2009

Sarah wanted to be a mermaid this year for Halloween, so Mommy made it happen! Daddy and Sarah carved a kitty pumpkin ,and then we went trick-or-treating in a golf cart with some friends and had so much fun! The grownups even got some grown up treats (hot buttered rum!)

Sarah’s 1st Report Card

Sarah came home with her very first report card today (Pre-K 4 Progress Report officially):

“Sarah’s enthusiasm and eagerness to learn and interact with her peers is a joy to watch each day.  She is a blessing to her teachers and peers.”

Sarah loves her new school and has made a lot of new friends, so everything is going well!  Kenneth and I go to Parent-Teacher conference on Friday to find out more! =)

Look out for Halloween pictures on Saturday!  Sarah will be a mermaid this year!

Sarah’s New Teacher

We had “book day” today at Sarah’s new school.  We met her teacher who is great!  She really seems like she will be a good fit for Sarah.  She commented on how clearly Sarah enunciates and what a great vocabulary she has.  Sarah will go 3 days a week this year including eating lunch at school for the first time!  The first day of school is on Wednesday, so I’ll be posting pictures!

Sarah also had her first dance class today.  She is learning tap, ballet and a little gymnastics.  We looked at a lot of different schools and so far I’m pleased with our choice!

Birthday Prep

A funny thing happened today.  I am in the middle of preparations for Sarah’s birthday and her mermaid birthday party.  Her party is on a different day than her birthday so that means 2 cakes.  So I’m scrambling around trying to get the recipes for the cake and icing perfected (since the 1st cake is for Tuesday).  Meanwhile I’m trying to get her party invitations put together and printed.  I was so proud that I had come up with some cute text:

Sarah is turning three!  Come celebrate under the sea!

Cute right?  Anyone notice anything wrong with that wording?  Maybe that Sarah is turning FOUR!  Oops!  I guess my baby is just growing up too fast!  So needless to say I’ll be tweaking that wording!

The good news is that the cake and icing recipes have been taste tested and family approved so we’re all set there!

Lunch with Mary

Over lunch last week Jannette and I were talking about how much we missed visiting with Mary. So we decided to call and invite her to lunch with the girls before Jannette went home to South Carolina. We met at the Boardwalk for lunch and had a great time catching up and sharing fond memories. I hope we can continue to keep in touch and do lunch every once in a while!
