A rare moment at Story Time yesterday!

Not sure what phase the moon was in yesterday, but for one rare moment all the kids cooperated and lined up for a group photo at Story Time!!! again, did I mention RARE?? ;) I'm just glad I had my camera and could stand beside Ms. Michelle and take a quick snapshot for proof!


Nora is in the back squatting down looking at the two newest baby girls in our group.... and Paul Thomas is the baby asleep in the blue car seat and Olivia to the right of him in the brown car seat.

There were a few moms and kiddos absent yesterday. I think the class size is around 20 kids.... so that would mean there were 5 not there. But on average this is the usual group size and we always have a active group of preschoolers on Wednesday's!!!There is another mom that just started coming this year who is a mother of twins also!!! I am not sure on the spellings, but Kyler is the twin with the light eyes, and Kayden is the twin with the dark brown eyes. Johna's twins are just a few month older than mine - as they just recently had their first Birthday and both boys are walking already. Seeing them each week gives me a "preview" to what life will be like around the next corner. LOL :cP

Nora helps Miss Michelle clean up!

Tomorrow is Wednesday

Tomorrow is Wednesday which is Story Time for us! :) Here are a few photos I took during Story Time a couple weeks ago.... aren't they cute!!! :P

For the past year and a half we have been traveling to a near by city to participate in their Lap Sit Program. When I first moved to Texas, I went to our local library but was never able to really "meet" or rather make a friendship with any of the other mothers who brought their children. Plus, their story time was very chaotic to say the least.

So then one day while at the pediatrician for a check up, I met my now best friend in the waiting room and she told me about this other story time in the nearby city...

I called to sign up and was put on a waiting list b/c at that time they only had one class and the 20 spots were full.

So I waited a year! but so glad I did. Now, I know lots of mom's and their children and the Story Time teachers, Ms. Ginger & Ms. Michelle are THE BEST!!! I am so very pleased with their program!

And who is the little "friend" in the photo you ask..?? This is my best friend's little boy "Jeddy" the friend I met at the pediatrician's office and who told us about Story Time :)

My daughter and him were walking arm-in-arm across the parking lot in front of me pushing the twins in the stroller and luckily I had my camera in my pocket and was able to get a couple shots before they noticed!!! ;) allllll aren't they cute!!! Best friends, and they are only 3 years old!

================================

Before closing, I wanted to introduce something new I am gonna try called "Wordless Wednesday" I saw this on another blog I visit and thought to myself, I could do that! It would be fast and no words needed so therefore I can post pics of the kids and keep the far away family happy and at least get one post a week in - it's a win-win for all of us! :c)

So be sure and leave a comment and tell me if you like this idea. :) and I'll be back tomorrow with my first "Wordless Wednesday" ;)

Love from Texas!! ~bonnie

Story Time Christmas Party

Yesterday was the Christmas Party for all the kids who go to Story Time. Can you believe I got the kids dressed up and even time for photos in front of big sister's tree before leaving and we drove to another town and even ARRIVED 15 MINUTES early!!! It was a combined class activity meaning 40 kids... and double the amount of cars... so I wanted to get there first so I could have a close parking place and not have to walk so far... I think I'm getting the hang of this! ;)

...and look!! - Big Sister gladly offered to take my photo with the babies! She loves taking photos!

Santa even stopped by for a visit and all the kids got the chance to talk with him one on one.... or at least all the kids who "wanted" to. ;) Here is Big Sister shaking hands with him when she first saw him.She knew exactly what she was gonna tell him and patiently waited her turn. She wasn't scared at all of him this year and even sat in his lap. She promptly told him she wanted "A ONE, and for the One to be on her car" then when he asked her if she had been good this year, she told him how she had learned to use the potty "every time, everyday!" ;)

Little Brother had a real special "One-to-one" gibber jabber with Santa. It was too cute! :)

Little Sister gave Santa her Super Stretch and refused to bend those stiff legs!

Here Santa is giving her, her goodie bag. I don't have photos of the other two but he also had goodie bags for each of the babies! :) Yeah, Mom & Dad get treats too! After she and Santa were done talking we jumped in for a quick family shot with Santa. Both babies were fascinated with all the hair he had and quickly each got a fist full of it! :)

Daddy was also able to join us for the party since it is so close to his work! I'm really glad too and not just b/c of the extra help with the twins...although that was a nice bonus!!! But b/c he rarely gets to see the fun stuff that Big Sister does. Usually it is just dinner time conversation, but today he got to be there and experience it with her! She loved sitting by her daddy and eating cup cakes and cookies too!
During clean up time by the Story Time crew, I sat and nursed a baby before drivng home and Miss Melissa read a book to Big Sister.

She LOVES for people to read books to her! Warning, just don't take her with you into a card store... like Hallmark! She will bring you cards and BEG you to read each one to her and after you read them, before you can find it's spot to put it back she will have picked out another handful!!!

What a fun day!!! We are so grateful to have children! Thank you dear Father for these precious gifts you have blessed us with!!! ~B
