School's Almost Out

Well, its over for Ursula right now... she graduated from pre-k May 9th. Red cap & gown, diploma, and all :D It was so cute :D

Calista's last day is May 23rd... next Friday. We got the results from her iLeep testing... says she's passed.

School Started Aug. 10th

Awww, can you feel the love? hehehe

There's a haze on some of the pics due to the fogginess of my camera's lens... going from a nice, cool 70 degrees inside the house to a muggy, hot 90something degrees outside.

I kept wiping it off.... but, it was resistant to my attempts :D

ANYWAYS... :)

Here's my girls before going to school on the first day: I drove them... met their teachers, filled out all the stuff they give ya...

Its funny how they do things here because Calista's classmates are basically the same ones she's had since kindergarten! They like to keep them together... I guess for familiarity.

Calista was pretty hyped up about going back to school; so, that was good to see... instead of dragging her feet or pouting about it. I know I was always excited to start a new school year back in my youth.

Ursula, well, she was cool about it too. When I walked her to her class, no one else was there yet, so we stayed outside... well, there's toys outside, so she and Wyatt started playing. Wyatt grabbed a stroller and pushed it up and down the ramp.

Once Ursula's teacher showed up, we went inside the classroom. Ursula didn't stay next to me very long... she was way too busy investigating all the toys there and next thing you knew, she was playing... with what? Babies, naturally! LOL

And here they are, getting off the bus... Ursula's very first bus ride! :D I had asked her before I left that day if she wanted me to pick her up or for the bus to bring her home, she told me, 'bus' :D Of course... I knew that would be her answer. Calista was the same way... I had even went to pick her from school on her first day of Kindergarten and she nearly threw a fit to ride the bus... so, I let her. I learned from that and asked Ursula before leaving :D lol

Pre-K

Well, I just got a phone call from school and Ursula's going to pre-k this year! I have to go to the school tomorrow for a little meeting and get her supply list.

Jeremy and I were just discussing this last night! I told him that I was waiting for the school to contact me in regards to whether or not she will be attending. He had suggested that I call either the school itself or the school board because we don't have that much time before school starts! Starts on the 10th!

So, now it'll be just Wyatt and me during the day... and now I'll have 2 girls with homework! Well, I'm assuming Ursula'll have homework... she may not.

And I'll have to buy not only 2 lists of supplies but some uniforms as well. We'll probably go do that this weekend.

Ursula's excited :)

I'm going to start waking them up around 6am to get them used to it (again)... and I think that'll help them get to sleep earlier as well because the reverse isn't working (making them go to bed early).

Ursula Rides a 2-Wheeler Now!

She is so happy she can keep up with her sister now! hehehe I knew she'd be able to ride one early... I could just tell from when she was younger. Calista was 7 when she learned... but, she got discouraged when she was 5 yrs old and didn't really even ride her bike for like 2 yrs! I think Wyatt will learn how to early as well. Shucks, he climbs up on the bikes now and pretends to ride them already! hehehe

Oh, in the video, you can hear Calista say, "I'm going as fast as I can"... she was trying to race Ursula :D hehe Also, she yells, "Watch Out!" as Ursula hits the culvert in our driveway. You hear Jeremy laughing in the background too :D

This was last Wednesday, BTW. I've been without my computer for over a week and finally got it up and running last night!!! Go me!!! lol Anyways, that's why this post (and many other things, like email) are behind scheledule! :D

OOHHH, another thing! No video of it yet... I'm sure its coming though :) Ursula can wiggle her ears!!! Funny, huh? Another Jeremy thing :D Its not big movements yet... but, she just realized she can do it... with practice, I'm sure she'll be able to move them as much as her dad can move his :D heh heh heh Calista has tried but I guess its just one of those things that you can either do or can't... I know I've asked Jeremy how he does it and I've tried... to no avail... he said he used to make his teachers laugh with that :D I can about imagine...

And, the last thing... I registered Ursula for pre-K on April 18th. There's 2 classes of 20 kids allowed... one is for free or reduced lunch kids and the other is for the kids that don't qualify. Next school year with be the 3rd year that that school has pre-k and Calista's 1st grade teacher said its a really good program and by the time she gets those kids, they are on the ball. I wouldn't have signed Ursula up for it if it wasn't for the fact that she's been bugging me about it! She's constantly going on about how much she wants to go to school because Olivia and Jude (pre-k) and Calista(2nd grade) and Kameron (1st grade) are all in school... how its not fair that she's not... so forth and so on... So, if she gets in, it'll just be me and Wyatt... all I got to do now is NOT get pregnant... LMAO!

So, Calista and Ursula (if she gets in) will be catching the bus together... yes, its a full day of school for pre-k.

Oh yeah, Calista has a bus stop buddy once again :) As of last Friday, our neighbor's granddaughter is living with them and catching the bus with Calista. She's 12 yrs old and Calista's happy to have her there :)
