Last night we had a lot of screaming at our house by the kids because of the White Sox winning. Jack was sooo excited it was crazy. They were running around the house screaming and dancing. He called his Papa to tell him, as if my dad did not already know that they won. He gave him the play by play of how it ended. He said "Out Out Out". It was quite amusing. So, it will be interesting in our house if the White Sox continue to win and end up having to play to the Milwaukee Brewers. Poor Chad will be alone. LOL

And the wheels continue to go around and around...
Yesterday Meggan had her big day on the school bus home from preschool. Oh boy did she have fun. She took one of her baby dolls with her and just had a ball. She definitely is growing up very quick for us. Of course with that comes a lot of mood swings. I thought I still had some more time before that started, but oh well I guess not. Anyway, she said that she looked at the bus drivers belly because of what Jack said and she said she does have a big belly. Nice. But she doesn't think she is pregnant. So, there you have it.

The wheels on the bus go round and round
So, when I asked Jack how he liked the bus ride he said that the driver was nice and she had a very big belly. He then went on to say that she must be pregnant because of the big belly. He would not stop talking about it. OMG!!! All I kept thinking was please don't let him say anything to the bus driver about her "pregnant" belly.
My own little artists
Hope this update finds everyone doing well. The kids have been very busy at school doing a lot of artwork and pictures. So, I thought I would take some pics of their artwork to share.
So, this first picture below was done where the kids had to pick out pictures that reminded them of their family. So, this was what Jack picked out for all of us. I could not believe it when I saw 1) the man with the dear for Chad, 2) how big Ally is and in the center of the page and 3) the picture of Meggan. So, I asked Jack why did you pick that picture for Meggan and he said because she is always crabby and crying. Isn't that special. That is all I can say.
The next day at school Meg did the same project. See below for what she picked. And of course Meggan's image is the biggest one on the page. No self esteem issues there you can see. I asked her if she thought I looked like the picture she picked for me and she said "No, I could not find one that looked like you." There you have it.
I thought this one was really cool. The kids took marbles and rolled them in paint and then used them to paint on the paper. I will definitely have to try this with them. In Meggan's class they had taken race cars and drove the wheels over the paint and used the wheels to paint on the paper. I don't have that picture yet to show, but it was neat too.
Instead I have this picture that Meggan painted. Interesting how all of the colors are kept separate and that she used so many colors. It says a lot about her personality. She is definitely like her mom.
And finally I end with something that I thought was soo cute and funny. This is a picture that Jack made of himself. They cut out the paper and then glued it together to look like themselves. I thought it was just so great and I always love the smiley faces he does.

Pretty Pretty Ballerina
Today is Meggan's first ever dance class. She is so excited. Especially since she has a pink skirt, pink leotard (from Nama) and pink shoes. She is so excited and so am I to see what will come of this new found talent. Of course she has always loved to dance so it will be all good I am sure.

Don't wake the sleeping Lion
Doesn't she look peaceful! Hopefully when Meggan goes to bed she won't wake her. Say some prayers that she stays in her bed all night long. Jack can't quite grasp why she is sleeping in bed when she is a baby. Oh boy!!

Ally Loves Gymnastics (We think)...

Gymnastics Begins with a 10
Well Jack and Meggan started gymnastics last night. OH BOY! At first Meggan did not want to be in the same class as Jack. Maybe out of fear that Jack would be tackling her in class like he does at home. Thankfully they were put into different groups within the class. Of course Jack was still able to get Meggan distracted by yelling to her to watch what he was doing.
Jack's big question was will there be any boys in the class? He said he thought it would be all girls. But when he got there half the class was boys. YEAH!!
Since the Olympics Jack started to work on his cartwheel and somersault. The teacher last night taught him to put his hands up after his somersaults as if he were in the Olympics. It was quite funny.
Now of course we don't want to leave Ally out of all of this fun. So, tonight Ally will be starting a tumbling class with Chad or me. I am sure I will be regretting this in a few weeks when she is jumping off of the furniture because of what she has learned. But, we need to get all of that energy out of her somehow.
I will try to take some pictures of Ally tonight since they have bleachers where you can watch the fun. :) LOL

Go Go Go White Sox!!!
This weekend was Grandparent's Day and so we continued our tradition with my dad to take him to the White Sox game with our kids. Last year was pretty rocky because it was 90 degrees in September and our seats were in the sun. Plus it was Meggan's 1st time going to the game. We thought after that game when we left in the 5 ining that we would never go to a game with Meggan again. But we did it again.
Thankfully we had great weather and it was night game this year. We figured we would stay and watch the fireworks, but when it got to the 12th ining and the game was still tied we said that's it for us.
The kids had a ball, but they were definitely tired after the game. Of course as soon as we got back to my parents house Jack asked Nama if the game was on their TV. It was and the kids got to see them beat out the Los Angeles Angels in the 16th ining. They also got to see the fireworks on the TV, so that was great. Of course they did see fireworks at the park because of the 3 homeruns. On the drive home Meggan asked if we were going to drop her off at Nama's house and then go back to the game. Too funny! Enjoy the pics from the game.

Meggan's 1st Day of School
When we went to pick her up Jack stood right by the classroom door and waited for her. He gave her a big hug and said he missed her. It was very sweet. Of course within minutes they were fighting. At least there were a couple minutes without the bantering. :)
