Meet the Teachers

Today was “meet the Teacher day” for both kids!

Kaitlin was ready to go and wanted to stay all day! She was crushed when I told her that school didn’t really start until next week!

IMG_9367

She is in the frog class and is so excited about everything!

IMG_9399

We found our cubby and coat hook (hopefully we don’t need a coat for a few weeks!)

And she even found a frog with her name on it!

Kaitlin’s teachers made the day so special and had so many fun things to do in the classroom!

Camp Fun

Kaitlin was camp queen this summer and she had a great experience!! She was the youngest in her class of 4 year olds thru graduated Kindergarten kids! She  gained a lot of independence  this summer and was in charge of finding her backpack and lunchbox. Kaitlin had to find her own towel and shoes on water day! She was not babied at all and it was so beneficial!

She loved sea and space camp!!!!

New friends at the zoo

We went to the zoo last week and had the best time! It was perfect weather and overcast! We met my friend Summer and her family and it was a blast! I met Summer on twitter and read her blog since we both love the Vols! She has been such a blessing This year trying to help us find a church and even finding us a hotel in Cincinnati! It was great to meet her sweet boys and Kaitlin can't wait to see them again!

We had a great time seeing animals and even got to see them feed the orangutans! It was so neat to see them interact with the zoo keeper!

We had such a fun day and visit with new friends! Can't wait to visit the Zoo again soon!

The Little Red Hen

Kaitlin was in Music and Drama camp last week! She did not talk much about it and I was wondering what had been happening all week! I got an email on Thursday inviting me to the camps production of the Little Red Hen the next day! I was so surprised!

Friday morning before the play I asked if she knew about the play! She knew the entire song they snag and gave me a preview!!!

Football season is almost here so we decided to take a daytrip before we have pans every Saturday until Christmas! We had a great day at Kings Island! We got there before the park even opened so there were NO lines for anything!Kory got to ride two roller coasters and did not have to wait at all! We even got to see them open the park and meet some Peanut characters!
