Class Picture Day.

Macey's preschool had class picture day last week, and, being the cheapskate that I can be- I took her picture before going to school. I am buying her actual class picture, but I didn't want to fork out the extra money for a picture of her when I have a million. Does that make me a mean mom? I was all worried she would be embarrassed. My mom won't let me type thing. I remember my Mom getting mad that class pictures were a lot of money, so I hardly ever got them. I was always embarrassed. Oh, don't worry I'd say. My mom is taking me to Olan Mills later for pictures... ;)

Anyway, I wasn't really concerned about this picture, just thought I'd snap a fast one before getting in the car. It wasn't until I uploaded them (just barely) that I realized just how cute my little girl is! I mean, seriously, look at that face! And the nervous/shy turning foot? Awesome. I do the same thing.

For the record, that pumpkin is from my garden. Believe it. 

I must say that this is one of my favorite pictures of Macey to date. 

I put Olan Mills to shame!

Deer in the headlight.

I am so sick of pulling the camera out to capture a cute moment and Collin totally ruins it with his "deer in the headlight" look! Seriously, how long can it take a boy to get used to a camera? He is so stinking cute and has such awesome facial expressions, I try and try to capture how he really is, but what I usually get it this...

I swear, he really does have a personality.

First day of pre-school.

I'm just noticing that I never posted Macey's 1st day pictures!

We're a couple of weeks into Macey's 4 year old preschool and are loving it. She goes 3 days a week for 2.5 hours. She goes with 6 other kids from our neighborhood. I can't believe how much she is learning already! She has gone from barely being able to write her name, to spelling out some words! She has just been soaking it all in. It has been so good for her to get out and have some "Macey time", ya know? Away from her little shadow, Bubbas. Collin wandered around like a little lost soul the first week, but is now totally adjusted (see previous post) and even tells her "bye Meeshee" at the door with me!

 Macey's preschool teachers (there are 3, they have stations) requested no backpacks with a zipper or snaps. She was pretty bummed that she wouldn't be able to get the My Little Pony backpack that I had promised her... but she forgot all about that when I made this lil' ditty, as you can tell by her posing that she takes very seriously.
