KJ Loves Preschool

Kelsey started preschool yesterday. These pictures are from her open house but yesterday was her first real day of school. Or as she told us, the day she gets to go all by herself. She had a lot of fun. She said they got to play outside but not on the swings, they sang head shoulders, knees and toes and another "new" song, she used the big potty, and they sat criss cross applesauce hands in their lap for circle time. She also shared a Thomas the Train book with a boy. And of course there are her favorite, puzzles. She is going to BFUMC twice a week. Her teacher is Mrs. Mary Lee who was Audrey's teacher when she went to the 3 y/o class.

Friday Funny

It would be funnier if it wasn't something I had to deal with every day.

Bed Curtains

When Audrey dreams up an idea she is very lucky because she has a Grammy that can make it happen. Her bed is from IKEA and is able to be flipped so we have had it different ways. Recently she wanted to sleep down low instead of up high. After a few days she decided she wanted curtains so she could hide while she slept. Grammy made her some gold and yellow curtains which fit her bed perfectly and some yellow jammies to match. Kelsey also got a pink princess jammie gown. Thanks Grammy!

Hair and Homework

Audrey had her first homework yesterday. She has all week to complete the practice sheet but insisted on doing it last night. She said when she turns it in to her teacher she gets something out of the "smartie box" so she wanted to get that today.

I showed her the blog that Joanna had mentioned on her blog (shedoeshair) and she looked at all the pictures and wanted me to do the smocking hairdo. So I gave it a try. She slept in it and wore it to school today. I hope she lets me keep trying new things with her hair. It is pretty amazing since Audrey has always said ouch ouch ouch when I put one ponytail in her hair. She sat and let me do this without saying a word. Thanks Joanna!

UGA Girls

Cherise and I took the girls to UGA Saturday. We went to see one of Chelsea's friends that was in a horse show at the livestock arena and then we walked around campus. We had a great time. One day we hope to visit you all when you are UGA students!

Ringing the bell at the chapel:

Chelsea and Kelsey (try to spend a day keeping those names straight) eating lunch at 5 Guys.

The girls at the arch. Audrey is holding an "apartment finder" magazine - she is ready to find a place to live.

A piggy back ride for Kelsey (too many steps on campus!).

Audrey was impressed with all the "good climbing trees" and squirrels this school has.

Friday Fun

Dear Abby,
I am a crack dealer in Beaumont , Texas , who has recently been diagnosed as a carrier of HIV virus. My parents live in Fort Worth. One of my sisters lives in Pflugerville and is married to a transvestite. My father and mother have recently been arrested for growing and selling marijuana. They are financially dependent on my other two sisters, who are prostitutes in Dallas. I have two brothers: one is currently serving a life sentence at Huntsville for the murder of a teenage boy in 1994. My other brother is currently in jail awaiting charges of sexual misconduct with his three children. I have recently become engaged to marry a former prostitute who lives in Longview. She is a part time 'working girl'.
All things considered, my problem is this. I love my fiancé and look forward to bringing her into the family. I certainly want to be totally open and honest with her. Should I tell her about my cousin who supports Barack Obama for President?
Signed, Worried About My Reputation

Speeding in North Carolina
1) Good: A Cary, NC policeman had a perfect spot to watch for speeders, but wasn't getting many. Then he discovered the problem. A twelve-year-old boy was standing up the road with a hand-painted sign, which read 'RADAR TRAP AHEAD'. The officer then found a young accomplice down the road with a sign reading 'TIPS' . . . and a bucket full of money. (And we kids used to just sell lemonade!)
2) Better: A motorist was mailed a picture of his car speeding through an automated radar post in Asheville, NC. A $40 speeding ticket was included. Being cute, he sent the police department a picture of $40. The police responded with another mailed photo of handcuffs.
3) Best: A young woman was pulled over for speeding. As the North Carolina State Trooper walked to her car window, flipping open his ticket book, she said, 'I bet you're going to sell me a ticket to the State Troopers Ball.' He replied ' North Carolina State Troopers don't have balls.' There was a moment of silence while she smiled, and he realized what he'd just said. He then closed his book, got back in his patrol car and left. She was laughing too hard to start her car.
