Reagan's School Birthday Party

We had a party with Reagan's class today to celebrate her 4th birthday. The party theme was World World from PBS.

Happy Birthday to Reagan!

Pajama Day

Not only is today Reagan's birthday, but it's pajama day at school. Reagan was having a hard time understanding how both could happened on the same day.

Cooper has new pajamas too
Finally, no fighting!

Birthday Breakfast

Today is Reagan's 4th birthday!! In honor of her special day, I tried to be creative with her favorite breakfast ~ pancakes.

Pancakes in the shape of an R and a 4

Reagan loved her pancakes
Happy Birthday!

Cooper enjoyed Reagan's birthday pancakes too

Yummy

The Prayer

I was finally able to upload Reagan's class singing their prayer before lunch

Earth Day

In celebration of Earth Day, which just happens to coincide with the Week of the Young Child, the kids were asked to dress in green today.

See how they shove each other out of the way?

Still fighting over who gets to stand in the corner

Mom and Cooper

Here's a discussion Reagan and I had this morning at breakfast:

Reagan: Mommy, why do you have 2 kids?

Me: Because that's how many God wanted me to have

Reagan: Because 3 would be too many?

Me: Yes, 3 would be too many.

Reagan: I love that baby.

Me: What baby?

Reagan: That baby Cooper.

Me: Oh, I love him too!

Reagan: Can I have a baby sister in your belly?

Me: You want me to have another baby in my belly?

Reagan: Yes like baby Cooper, but a sister.

Me: I don't think mommy's going to have another baby in her belly.

Reagan: I can put a baby sister in your belly ~ ok mommy, please!

School Spirit with Chuck E Cheese

Today was also our make-up day for the fundraiser we had scheduled at Chuck E Cheese a couple of months ago when it snowed. The kids had a great time!

Reagan chose to slide first

Finally, a good smile

Lunch with Reagan

During the "Week of the Young Child" activities at school, parents were invited to eat lunch with their child one day this week. Today was my day to eat with Reagan. Ms Sandy fixed us a delicious meal of tacos, corn and peaches ~ although Reagan said it was not her favorite meal, her favorite meal is french fries and applesauce!

Washing hands before eating lunch Showing me where the paper towel dispenser is so I can use it too

Let's eat!

Trying to smile with her mouth full!

School Spirit Day

The theme for today was School Spirit Day, so each child was asked to wear their school shirts or a red shirt if they didn't have the official school shirt.

they had been fighting over who got to stand where for the picture (Cooper obviously lost!)
