Cleaning Ladies

I told the little girls that had to start helping since big sis is at school now. They love to vacuum but it usually causes a fight. Another favorite is spraying down the table. Picking up their toys is NOT a favorite!

Alexa's 1st day of school

Kindergarten has arrived. Alexa officially goes to school full day. Her teachers name is Mrs. Cox and she seems really sweet and excited to teach. I took her for orientation on Tuesday and Wednesday she went alone. I volunteered for recess duty her first day and she loved seeing me there. After school the little girls got to play on the playground with Alexa and their cousins. It is an adjustment for Belle, Jenna, and me not having big sissy at home. Alexa came home from school saying she loved school and wants to go back. I think it helps her friend Isabelle is in her class.

State Fair

When I was a little girl every year I would go to the State Fair with my Uncle David. He has been trying to get me to bring the girls for a couple of years so we decided to give it a try this year. I am so glad we did.
We went Thursday night to the parade and preview night. The girls liked the parade and got to ride a couple of rides. Every one's favorite ride was the dragon roller coaster. I got some vinegar fries. Yum! We went back to Uncle D's to sleep and woke up to Mellocream donuts.
We headed to the fair again with Mammy, Pappy, Uncle D and we meet Uncle John and Aunt Linda. The girls got their faces painted. Ate some ice cream and saw the butter cow. I got more vinegar fries and some taffy in between sometime. More Yum! Then we went to milk a cow. The girls were too funny. Everyone ended up milking it expect Zozo. She touched the cow and was done. Then they got the free chocolate milk which was one of the highlights for them. Before we left the girls persuaded Mammy and I to go on the Ferris wheel with them.
The weather was perfect and all 4 girls zonked out 15 minutes into the ride home. It was a perfect day.

My 3 little girls turned 3!

Where has the time gone? Three means bye bye babies.
We had a swimming party last weekend which was a lot of fun. We were happy to have so many people come and I was really glad Nana and Papa got to come. The girls got a lot of great gifts which we have been opening a little at a time. On their actual birthday we had a special breakfast the girls picked out, went swimming again and then the girls and I headed to Springfield for the State Fair Parade. Belle, Jenna and Zoey wore cute shirts that said Happy Birthday to Me!

Alexa lost a tooth!

Today Alexa was eating an apple and told me her tooth is wiggly. She took another bite and out it came. She was really proud and couldn't wait to call and tell everyone. Later she wrote a note that said. Dear TF- I would like $1. Love- Alexa. She wanted to write that she wanted to keep her 1st tooth but ran out of room on the paper.
When she woke up the Toothfairy had left her a sticker and a dollar. She was super excited about both and wants to buy lots of toys with the dollar. All week she has been telling me she has wiggly teeth and thinks the tooth fairy will be coming again really quickly.
