we're back! (part 1)

we finally got a new camera yesterday. we decided to just go ahead and get another point and shoot for now. i'd like to invest in a nicer one soon, but i wanted to do more research and figure it out, but didn't want to be without a camera for any longer. i take so many pictures, so it's kind of sad to see literally no "july 2010" in my iphoto. thankfully we had adam's iphone to take a few needed shots....here's a little random catch up of the latest events....i might break it up into a couple posts.

the girls were playing in their room the other night and olivia was letting (sort of) violet in on some puzzle time....

but she made it clear that her very special birthday bowling set was NOT up for grabs. she went and did this before violet even noticed it. "just an FYI vi-vi, hands off."

this picture would be of my precious 2 year old completely zonked out on the morning of her first day of preschool! (she started a little 2 day two's class last week.) i had to wake her up. i have a feeling her teenage years are going to be a nightmare. i also have to wake her up for church every sunday because we start at 9. she is a sleeper! of course when i went in to take this, violet was peeping over her bumper like, "who's there??? i'm ready!!" she is nuts. more on that later.

these two pictures were killing me! first of all, the night before school started, we were in her room doing a little fashion show for her outfit. they aren't supposed to wear sandals since they go outside, so that was really cramping olivia's style. she wears sandals everyday. we made it work and found something, but the whole time i was getting way too in to going through all her clothes, she was bouncing off the walls acting crazy and being so funny and excited about everything. total night before school starts jitters?? lol. so then, on the way there in the morning, i turn around and see this face. and she was kind of hiding her face in her carseat and she was acting all weird and nervous. anyway, it was too funny. she knew what was up. she surprisingly did well when i dropped her off. she didn't cry at all and got to work playing with some of the toys. when i picked her up the first day, they said she was "on and off," but that she had a good day and did circle time. ok, sounds good to me. the second day i picked her up, they said she had an "awesome day!" ok, i'll take that too! i would die to be a fly on the wall though and just see what she is up to. i wasn't really that sad on the first day. adam on the other hand.....he kept saying he wanted to leave so he wouldn't start crying! (he came in with us on the first day). softie. i guess i just get too distracted by how funny it is seeing all these little miniature adults cruising around like they own the place. our nephew goes to the same school and he is total big man on campus in the pre-k class. 

we thought it would be funny to put violet in the shopping cart the other night. she had this face the whole time as if she was saying, "this is totalllly lame, mom!"

more first day of school shots. violet is having major sleepy face, but she thought she was a big timer going in to school with olivia!
