Last night....

Last night while I was putting the pictures up on the blog the kids were having dessert and then playing on their own.  We had oranges and for some reason I just thought Jack looked so grown up here

They pulled out the dress up drawer and Jack will NOT wear the princess dresses because that is too girly but I guess jewelry is fair game

Bella dressed up as Belle and asked me to take her picture

She wanted to see her picture and was all upset because her tiara was down too far so she asked me to retake it

Yup, that is much better baby girl!
Jack is channeling Elton John I think

     They keep my days (and nights) interesting!

They are getting so big...

It really is amazing how quickly they are growing.  *sigh*
They are in a pre-school program that is in the high school.  Each semester they are assigned to a new group of students and their first semester just wrapped up.  They had a "program" for the parents and the theme was Red Carpet.  Jack and Bella were each assigned to a high school student and that student had to make a costume for them of their favorite character.  Jack chose Buzz Lightyear and Bella chose Jessie (both from Toy Story).  I think they both looked adorable but Jack's costume was awesome

All of the kids were voted something by their "teachers".  Bella was named "most talkative".  For some people that may not be a big deal but for a child who has been in speech therapy the majority of her life this was just HUGE.  Jack was voted:

This just warmed my heart.  I know I have a loving, sweet boy but to be named most caring, at this age.... just made me SO proud!  
They are off of school until February 19th... I have gotten use to having an hour or so to myself a couple mornings a week so I am hoping this will be a fun four weeks!
Earlier in the semester they were learning about being a baker

Could they be any cuter??

Random picture of Bella and her dolly wearing their matching PJs I made for them

We had a "princess" party the one day and Jack could not be a Princess so Spiderman it was  (this is with the little girl I watch)

Nothing else is too exciting.  I say it everytime but there are just not enough hours in a day.... BUT..... I guess I better figure it out because I am going back to school.  I am going to a community college to get my Associate's in Nursing.  Since I already have my Bachelor's I *only* need to take 5 classes and then take 2 1/2 years of clinicals.  It will all be part time in the evening so I can still have the kids.  I am excited to go back and nervous at the same time.  My first class (Human Biology) starts February 7th... so think good thoughts for me!
