A long time ago school started ...

Waaaaaay back in August Sara started 1st grade!!!! When did she get so OLD? When did I get so old?

Sara wanted a pair of Sketchers "Twinkle Toes" shoes soooooo bad for months and months. I'm not one to normally fork over mega $$$$ for kids shoes, but this time we made an exception. She had been working on learning to tie her shoes for awhile, but wasn't really motivated. So we bribed her: "Learn how to tie your shoes by yourself all the time and then we'll buy you some twinkle toes." Now she knows how to tie them, but they have no laces. Silly us!!

 A few weeks later, Aaron started preschool. We are doing a sort of neighborhood, co-op preschool where we rotate who gets to teach and host the kids. He goes once a week and is loving it! The first time he cried when I left him and I felt HORRIBLE. But he stopped crying as soon as I left. Kids sure know how to make their parents feel bad.

Of course, he remembered that we took a picture of Sara's feet on her first day of school, and we HAD to get a picture of his shoes.
