Hum...What to wear?

Connor: Girls! You can wear your fancy dresses to my Celebration. That's the day we celebrate Kindergarten at my school.
Me: Oh, are we supposed to dress up?
Connor: Well, my teacher said that the girls might want to wear a fancy dress and the boys can wear something handsome. But she said only if you want to. You don't have to. I'm not. I don't want to. I don't like handsome clothes. I'm going to wear my regular ones.
Me: What if your mom wants you to wear something handsome?
Connor: My teacher said you don't have to if YOU don't want to. I already decided what I want to wear.
Me: Great. I'm sure that is exactly what she meant.* (Insert sarcastic font here).

We are not really sure what this "celebration" includes. It is just for the last hour of the last day of school in his classroom. Connor is allowed to bring one guest, we are bringing four (his mom, his dad, his sisters), so we'll probably get kicked out anyway. To be continued.....

THREE!!

Has it really been 3 years since this...??!!

 On their Birthday morning, the girls woke nice and early to a few presents. A new birthday dress from Mom & Dad, and a new "journal" from their big brother.

 The Journaling was taken very seriously, clearly. Although I later found that someone had "journaled" all over our tile floor, and the foot stool. Possibly still too young to have free range of a pencil 24/7...?

Of course, much confusion was had about when the actual party would take place. Since the real birthday was on a Monday, this clearly would not be the party day. However, they kept asking "When will our cousins get here?" So, we had to create a little count-down, play some "practice" party games (ya know, just to make sure they will be fun ones), eat some birthday cake, etc.

Our little three-year olds also got their very first (homemade) pedicure! They could not have been more thrilled. Except for the continued thrill the next morning, when they woke up..."Look! Our toes are STILL painted, Mom!" So exciting. If  you are three. And kinda if you are 34 too.

They love to sing to themselves as well. In fact, it was probably their favorite birthday activity. Cheers to being three, our little entertainers!
