August 21st - Tuck's first day of PRESCHOOL!!!

He is growing way tooooo fast!  Tucky started his new preschool today and he was quite excited.  He's going to a school that has a bit of Waldorf/Reggio Emilio philosophies and I think it will be right up his "hands on" alley!  I know it'll be a transition, especially not going to Cindy's with Brooklyn but I think this will help him grow so much and get him ready for next year as well!

August 19th - Pirate Boat Ride with summer buddies friends

 "Arrrgh"

Really fun pirate ship boat ride with our summer buddies friends and a few others!  The kids were all very excited and even got to share some Pirate Booty and get gold chocolate coins at the end.  It was a gorgeous night on Brandy Pond, the kids are loving this.  We were able to get about 8-9 families to come out, really fun.

Then Jude and Bella's family came over to ride bikes and had dinner with us.  The kids get along so well, it was a really fun afternoon!

August 20th - bubbles, resting at home

 We are resting at home as the summer winds down...so sad.  The kids were helping me clean up the garage and we found a few bubbles blowers that I had bought months ago. What fun!

August 19th - playing at home

"Momma, you want a hot dog diggity-dog?"  

That is what Brookie asked me this morning as she handed me a bowl with three hot dogs in it!  I just about fell off my chair because I was laughing so hard.

Here Tuck's question of the day....

"Mom, does Santa sink or float?"

I asked him what he thought and he said, "He has a fat belly, I bet he sinks.  What about the reindeer?"  

Tucky is very curious right now about whether things sink or float.  He even told me once that a rock sinks because it's heavier than water.  Where did he learn that?  I hear him asking Daddy all kinds of these questions and he really loves the explicit, in depth answers.  really funny
