edible jewels...family {learn}

i have a degree in elementary education and well i should really start putting it to use (pardon the no capitals. obviously, i know better. but, i just like the look and i type faster this way.....i have a lot to get done and i am sure you can relate.)

so, on to something fun, creative, and educational. ava and i made a few of these edible bracelets all while holding a deep discussion on estimation, colors, patterns, nutritional values, mathematical hoop-la....you know, everything under the sun because a three-year-old's mind travels like lightening.

all you need is some yarn or string and a box of fruit loops or fruity cheerios. this is such an easy activity to do together.

doesn't she look lovely? she is all dolled up and ready for the ball. that is....if she doesn't eat all her jewels before she gets there.

the start of something big

this tiny little babe has officially started pre K!!! i am old enough to have a kid in school how could this have happened.

this was one very excited little girl complete with princess backpack and gleaming white shoes.

i am not quite sure that her teacher knows what she has gotten herself into.  ohhhh, she will soon find out.

can you see the tiny dot in this photo?? it's not ava running to school but, her running to the car after her first day. she absolutely loved it and i love that she is such an independent, carefree, sweet child.

good thing hudson has a good pair of running shoes. he will need them to keep up with her.
