Trinity started Kindergarten

Trinity started Kindergarten last Wednesday. She was so excited to walk to school and meet her class. So far she loves everything about school except she thinks recess should be longer.

In this picture she is ready to head off to school. She is also showing off her newly pierced ears. We went and got them pierced the Sunday before school started. She picked out pink heart "diamonds" for her starter earrings. She is getting so old, I can't believe she is 6 already.

Trinity also had her 6 year Dr appt and she finally weighs just over 40 lbs! I can shop in the girls section for most of her clothes now instead of the toddler section. Her Dr is not worried about her weight because she has followed the same curve her whole life. She is always between the 15th and 20th percentile in weight for her age.

Dominick's Birthday

Today was Dominick's Birthday. We had plans to go out to Campers Hideaway at Lake Merwin for the weekend with some friends for some boating and jet skiing. However, the weather did not cooperate with us at all. It's been very rainy and on the cooler side (mid 60's).

So instead we got up this morning and went out to breakfast. Dominick choose Billygan's Roadhouse. Their food is always good and we had never eaten breakfast there so we decided to try it out. The breakfast was delicious and the service was awesome, like usual.

We went to Ikea to get a lamp for the kids playroom and found some other things for the house. We found a bistrio table that we really liked and then we found the exact table we picked out in the "as is" area with nothing wrong with it. We paid half as much as we would have had we not looked in the "as is" area. Plus it was already assembled for us. We were excited about that.

Dominick wanted to sit at home and watch a movie together as a family. He choose Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, I don't remember ever seeing it when I was younger. Trinity really enjoyed the movie and Nicholas fell asleep during the movie. We ate cinnabons while watching the movie. Cinnabons are so yummy!

For dinner we dropped the kids off to their Grandma CC's house and met some friends at Newport Bay. We all ate and talked. The food was so good. I had spicy sausage gumbo and crab cakes. Dominick had New England clam chowder and sliders with a yummy bell pepper mayonaise.

I think all in all Dominick had a good Birthday!

Nicholas' first day of school

Nicholas started preschool on Monday. He walked right in the classroom, hung his backpack up and said bye mom. It went so much smoother than I anticipated, which made me happy.


He said he got to use scissors carefully and the teacher showed him how to use the glue. He is excited about going on Tuesday because it will be Science day.
