First Day of Preschool

Bella and Lucy started preschool last Friday. This is Bella's 4th year there and Lucy's 2nd year. We LOVE our preschool, and it is so sad to think this is Bella's last year there. Next year, the girls won't be at the same school, or even start on the same day. Yes, they matched from head to toe. I need to soak up things like that while I can (am while they allow me to!). :)

I didn't even ask for them to turn around for the picture above- they just did! Lucy was pretty proud of her "pack pack" that was just like Bella's!

We dropped off Lucy first, then Bella, and I walked back by Lucy's class to check on her. She usually doesn't "catch" me doing this, but this time she did. I was afraid that could be bad, but she just smiled and waved and then we blew kisses. I miss them while they are at school, but I love knowing that they love being there.

It's Those Faces Again...

I don't know where this comes from, but it certainly is entertaining!

Too Few and Far Between

Once upon a time, approximately 3 years ago, Bella got a Dora popsicle from the ice cream truck. She still talks about it all of the time. ALL of the time!
It made her oh so happy!
So today, when we were sitting in the kitchen and heard the ice cream truck singing away outside, we were off! We were too late to catch it by foot, so off we went in the car (Daddy and Lucy were watching golf and napping...is there a difference in those two activities?). Anyway, Bella and I finally flagged the ice cream man down. She wanted another Dora popsicle.

That's the tradition, after all!

Sadly, the Dora popsicle was retired sometime in the past 3 years (or so the ice cream man said), so she choose Tweety Bird. I think he must be somewhat related to Dora...they both have those (slightly creepy) gumball eyes!
As a side note, Bella dressed herself in this purple batgirl shirt today. I told her we would have to wait until it got cold to wear it. Our high today was only 88, so I guess that counts.

We'll have to see if we can catch the ice cream truck again sometime before she turns 8.
