A big accident & a big switch

Our sweet baby used our computer tower as an assist to get up into standing position.  Annnnddddd... the tower slammed into the floor - hard.  The computer is dead.  Dead.  (it wasn't in the "best" of health anyway)  So... this has prompted- the big switch- from a PC to a Mac.  My knowledge of the Mac is very minimal at this point.  It will probably be nill by the time it gets here and set up. In fact I might want to have my Dad run over it with the tractor a time or two.  But, in the meantime- I'm just hoping (and praying) that our external hard drive did its job and backed up everything.  I'm quite nervous. 
Until then... no pics, no posts (b/c I hate posting w/out a pic). 

The First Day

It was a Thursday morning.  August 16th that my oldest baby started kindergarten.  She was excited and nervous both.  I felt the same only a tinge (ok, a big tinge of sadness).  

That same day my middle child, my only boy started preschool.  He's only 3 years and 3 months but he was pumped to be doing something so big boyish.

 All three of them together.

Daddy walking with his girls, Ike and I tagging along.  

Audrey at her table.  

 I had to get several hugs and kisses.  She did awesome.  She didn't cry at all.  I was glad I had sunglasses to put on while walking out the school doors!

 Here's Ike at preschool.  He was super happy.  Such my big boy.

 Shortly after this picture was taken, I walked out the doors to hear a crying boy.  "I kiss Cockine".  So we went out to the van to kiss Caroline.  Took him back in, left and in the window is my boy crying his head off.  I put the van in reverse quickly and drove off.  I'm sure by the time I got to the next block - he was happy as ever.  

 Drove home with this little girl.  She was so bored and didn't know what to do that she slept for 2 hours.  

Such a great day.  A day of many firsts.  

Back to School SPA DAY

I set up a spa day for Audrey on the day before school.  Caroline was sleeping and Ike was well, around and wanting to be a part- so he became my assistant.  

 Feet soak.

 We buffed, we did Satin Hands, we trimmed our nails- we got her all spiffed up!

 The assitant Ike helping pick out a color for Audrey's nails.  Of course he wanted her to do blue.  She chose bright pink.  

 A nice spa always offers water with lemon.  And for our spa we had chocolate peanut butter cups.  

 Massage.

 And here's the assistant getting a massage from our spa guest.  How sweet of her.

It was so fun!  She loved it and I loved it. Why spend lots of money at a real spa anyway?
