Sarah lends a hand; Lucas breaks an arm

We've been having such nice weather lately, and daddy decided to get outside and wash both cars. Sarah helped him wash them both. Here she is working on the Flex.


Lucas broke his right arm a few weeks ago while riding an electric scooter. He got his cast put on last week, and chose a blue one.

Sarah's first day of preschool

Sarah had her first day of preschool on Monday! She was so excited to go that she was literally bouncing up and down as she ate her apple before we left. Mommy made Sarah's hair look just like singer Taylor Swift's. (Sarah knows practically all the words to "You Belong With Me," but that's another story.)


We arrived at the school shortly before 1 p.m. and were the first ones there. Time for a photo op! Sarah wore her new "Hello Kitty" backpack to and from school ... even though there was nothing in it.


The first hour of each Monday is spent doing different activities with moms and dads. Here's Sarah playing with some blue Play-Doh that smelled like Kool-Aid. There are 10 other children in Sarah's afternoon class, and all but two are girls. There are also three teachers for the class. Sarah and most of the other children did just fine during the 60 minutes that their parents left to do their parenting class next door. No separation anxiety...


On the way out the front door after her first day, Sarah stopped to display the painting she did for her mommy.


"Thanks for checking out my first day, everyone! LOVEYOUBYEBYE!"
