Today

We had a very busy day today! First we did a little school work. I have been trying to keep doing school with Parker at home now that he is not in preschool anymore.

After we finished school, we got dressed and headed to Harrison's 2 year check up!  He did so good!  We headed to Chick-Fil-A for lunch with Kk!  I didn't take any pictures at the doctor or chick fil a. :(

After lunch, we headed to the sunglass store so Kk and I could try on sunglasses.  Britt and Jojo won a contest with work and Kk and I reaped the reward!  Sweet hubbies.  Okay, so they won a pair for themselves too...  We got the first pair though!  :)

Parker thought he needed a pair.  $16 sunglasses for a 4 year old were definitely not in our budget though.  Sorry Park ;)  They sure were cute though!  I asked him where the sunglasses were and he had out them in his pocket!  Definitely had to have the, "We have to pay for things before we put them in our pockets" talk. :)

Parker and Kk stylin' in there shades!

I am having a hard time deciding.  There is a list to choose from.  These are the ones I have narrowed down to.  Help me CHOOSE!!!

Next stop, Stride Rite!  Parker needed some new shoes.  These are the shoes he picked out.  He is very proud of them.  I over heard him say to himself, "I can do anything in these shoes!"  

Harrison was pooped from a busy day.  He fell asleep not long after we got in the car for home.

Overall, a very busy, fun day!

Hard Decisions

This week, Britt and I had to make a very hard decision.  We decided to pull the boys out of school.  It might not sound like a hard decision to some people, but it absolutely broke my heart.

Both boys LOVED school.  The problem is, when I registered them at FBC Preschool in Clinton, we still lived in Brandon.  I felt POSITIVE we would be moved by august/september.  WRONG!  Up until January, the drive wasn't to bad.  Britt worked in Raymond so he took them to school and I picked them up.  Now that he is in Byram, I have to take them and pick them up.  Parker is only in school for 3 hours, so it seems pointless to drive all the way home for such a short amount of time.  So, Harry and I would just sit in the car until time to pick Parker up.  I SO wish it was spring or summer so we could just go play at the park, but since it is winter, it has either been raining, or too cold to get out...  So we decided it was just too much to keep it up.  

Parker had the BEST teacher ever.  She has worked with Parker and been so patient with him.  If you know him, you know that he is VERY picky.  He also does not like to do school work.  Mrs. Kim just accepted him for who he is and tried to broaden his horizons...  For example, she got him to eat king cake!  This kid ONLY eats chicken, cookies, and crackers.  Eating king cake was a big deal.  I found out today that he actually started doing his school work without saying, "No."  From August to September, he has learned so much, including writing his name AND learning how to draw a picture.  I give Mrs. Kim 100% of the credit.  

Mrs. Kim, I don't think you will ever know how truly grateful I am for taking care of my baby.  You loved him and taught him so much.  I am SO grateful for the time he had with you!

Everyone at FBC Preschool is awesome!  They ALL took such good care of Parker.  We are grateful for you all! 

I am hoping to take Harrison to say good bye to his teachers Friday, so I will post pictures of that later.  Everyone at the FBC MDO is awesome too!  They always told me what an angel he is.  I am afraid he had them fooled ;)  They loved on him like he was their own, and I am so thankful for that!

I don't know if anyone at the preschool or MDO will read this, but I hope they know how grateful I am for them and how much we will mis every single one of them!
