First Days of School

First (and 5th for me) day of school pictures - in advance, bc ain't nobody got time for that tomorrow morning!

Look how excited everyone is!

(And when you forget to print things, you do the best you can!)

                                            

Endings and Beginnings

Today was my kids' last real day of daycare for the year.  My son will be going back in September, so it wasn't totally goodbye for us (thank God).  But it was for my daughter, who will be starting real big girl school, which we are all super excited about.  Of course, with that major change, comes a lot of little changes and I don't do well with change.  In the immortal words of Whitney Houston, "I get so emotional every time I think.". 

Change is good, and also so challenging.  This will be an amazing new chapter for her, and for us.  And we're all so super excited for her, especially her.  But I'm still gonna cry in the corner.

Yum...?

Yesterday's gem was from Hillelly while I was changing his diaper.  (Paraphrased bc I have a terrible memory.)

Me: "That was quite a stinky poopy!"

Hillelly: "not poopy.  It's cholent.  Cholent in my poopy diaper!"

That's not better, kiddo.

Dinner Time Punishment

 Tonight, Hodayah said to me in a reprimanding tone: "If I don't like what's for dinner, I'm just gonna go downstairs and make my own!"

Ok...fiiiine...I accept my punishment...

Parking

 ​Precious gem from Hodayah:

Me: I'm so bad at parking
Hodayah:. Yeah you're really bad at parking. But you're still a nice person.
Hodayah:. Even if you're bad at parking, you're still a nice person.

This pup's gonna fly!

When camp has dress up day every Friday, and you don't really own costumes, you improvise.  This is Skye (her favorite character).  I think we did a pretty good job.  "This pup's gonna fly!"

Family Lineage, Part III

Yesterday, Hodayah went into my bins of baby stuff and found some hospital blankets and some bibs. This morning, we had an interesting conversation:

Hodayah: Today is my babies' birthdays!

Me: Today?! How old are they??

Hodayah: 1!

Me: This is their first birthday??

Hodayah: Yep. And they came out of their daddy's tummy - [and she points to her brother] Hillelly!

Me: Hillelly is the father?? I gotta write this down.

Then...

Hodayah: There's a baby in my tummy too!

Me: When is it coming out?

Hodayah: Tomorrow!

Me: Tomorrow?!?!

Hodayah: It's a brother for my babies. And then after tomorrow, it's gonna be His birthday! I'm gonna get my baby super fast tomorrow.
