Chloe's 1st day (3rd year) of school!

Because Chloe missed the Kindergarden cut off date by 28 days, she is going to Westminster preschool for the 3rd year! She tells me that she is happy to be in the same class as her friend, Riley and that she loves her new teacher, Teacher Karen.

Ezra's 1st day of school!!!

Ezra has been so excited to go to 'Chloe's' school and today he finally got to go! Chloe was very excited to escort him into his classroom and introduce him as her brother. It was chaos in the classroom with 16 (almost) 3 year olds with their mom's and dad's (and siblings!) trying to take pictures and give hugs. Although it was a happy chaos at first, it quickly turned to screaming and crying as parent said goodbye. Ezra cried too and it broke my heart and Bran and I decided right then and there that he wasn't ready. But not even a minute later, he was smiling and painting a picture!!! When we picked him up he was so proud of all his crafts and told us all about playing in the sandbox and how he liked his teachers. Way to go Ez!!! xoxox

dress-up

Ezra has always loved playing dress up with Chloe, however, until recently, he only had Chloe's princess dresses to play in. A few months ago he borrowed a friends Superman costume and literally wore it everyday. My mum finally bought him his own Superman AND Batman costume and he absolutely lives in them. Chloe loves when I paint her face like a cat or make her a 'princess sparkle fairy', which is her request of a heart on one side of her face, a flower on the other side and lipstick and eyeshadow. She also loves the elephant suit Grandma sent her.

Make-shift movie theater

After a day of shopping, craft making (which included a lot of glue on the wooden table) and swimming, we all needed a rest. Bran made Chloe and Ezra a little movie theater/tent and they have been happily watching Toy Story and snacking on popcorn ever since. Thanks to Bran's creation, we have all enjoyed some much needed peace and quiet!
