I'm torn really... because every time I think about school starting, and Eden in 1st grade, and Ila gone now too to pre-school, I get all sad. But then when they're all running around like crazy and screaming, and Eden and Ila are fighting AGAIN (I think they need a break from each other!), and they're hungry AGAIN, and they're making messes faster than I can clean them, I can't help but think that August 15th needs to hurry and get here.
Earlier this week, I saw a Color Treasure Hunt idea on Pinterest, so on Tuesday morning, I sent Eden and Ila outside to do one. They had to find something God made for each color on their index card. I knew Eden would be able to do it easy-peasy, but Ila surprised me by walking outside, immediately going up to a tree and pulling off a piece of bark and yelling, "GRAY!"
Eden also found a bug.
Eden loves to bake and decorate, so I borrowed my friend's cake decorating kit, and Eden spent one afternoon decorating cupcakes. Ila spent the afternoon licking beaters and scraping bowls for any batter or buttercream that got left behind!
Ila got new glasses this week!
I've been doing a little school shopping here and there. Ila got her backpack as an Easter present, but she picked out her nap mat and lunch kit, and I didn't even realize that we were following a theme until I started putting everything together. The girl obviously likes unicorns and rainbows. She is so, so, so excited about all her stuff, and every time somebody comes over, she comes up to me and whispers, "Can I show them my school stuff?". When I tell her yes, she beams and shows them her backpack and explains how her nap mat works! :) :) :)
We spent a few hours at Pops and Granny's today, and I snapped this picture of Eden and Ila eating lunch with Granny.
