Cole's Big Day!

Off to school! Cole started "optional Kindergarten" 2 weeks ago and so far so good. He was mostly impressed that the bathrooms at schools were separated. 1 for girls and 1 for boys. He goes to his daycare in the morning and the school bus picks him up at 12:05 takes him to the school and then picks him up after and returns him to the daycare. No more afternoon naps which has really been nice because he's totally wiped out when he gets home. I have to keep him busy when we get home or he crashes on the couch before supper. Here are 2 photos of the first day.



Cole's 5th birthday party was Sunday afternoon. We had 12 kids and an AMAZING balloon artist (Daniel Poe with www.creationswithatwist.com) come to entertain. The kids had a blast guessing his creations as he twisted. After that we had Spiderman cake, ice cream, and a SILLY STRING fight. The party was a success. Here is a short montage of his party on Sunday! Check out the Mario Kart the balloon artist made for Cole as his "special gift"! All I can say is WOW!

I know - I'm always talking about our neighbors! But seriously we DO have the best neighbors! We went out for a couples night Saturday night. We went to Prairie Meadows to the horse races. My first time... although we did not win any money we had a great time trying. Sunday night we went to a neighbors house for a cookout. Let me just say when you need anything around here, there are about 12 people helping out in the blink of an eye. Like when Cole went MIA on Wednesday night outside (as it was getting dark). And your neighbors dropped everything to pitch in and create a mini search party looking for him. I was terrified and at the end of my rope. Only to find he was HIDING in the house under the table and had fallen asleep. They're not just neighbors - they are FAMILY. Thank you!
Here are some pictures from the past 2 weeks. In remembrance of our "bad day" on Wednesday night - Cole picked the Alvin & Chipmunks song "Had a Bad Day" for our montage! How perfect...
