We Love Pre-K!

Carter has been waiting for a couple of years to get to go on his very own Pre-K fire station fieldtrip!! Every since we went with Rylynn he has talked about it and a couple weeks ago, his day finally came! 

He loved watching the firemen explain the different parts of the truck and all the cool stuff they have inside.

Here they are showing us where the firemen eat and sleep when they are on shift at the fire station.

This time it was Beckett's turn to be the little sibling tag a long and he was in heaven!

Carter thought it was awesome when the firemen put on all his gear and showed him how they sound with their masks on.  I think he mostly loved this part because he thought the guy sounded like Darth Vater who he is obsessed with at the moment:)

For some reason Beckett was not into taking the picture with Carter in the fire truck. 

This is Carter's new pre-K class that he just loves.  In fact this was his first day with his new class.  He used to be in the morning pre-K class because he has always been my morning boy but it was just not working with Beckett's nap schedule and the morning class had 16 boys so we switched him to the pm class to be with a smaller group and to be with his two best buddies, Sam and Aiden.  It is making my life so much easier with naps and he is loving his new class.  

Another milestone for our boys is that we finally got bunk beds!!  Garrett's cousin Stacey was getting rid of her boys' bunk beds and we were the lucky ones to get to inherit them, stickers and all!  If you know me at all, you know that I loathe stickers and that they honestly make me ill but I love my boys and I knew they would be so excited to get these bunk beds so I've only peeled off about half of the stickers:)  Carter had been sad ever since we moved here that he didn't get a desk(I gave Rylynn my desk from 7th grade during this move).  So it was especially perfect that there is a built in desk in the bunk bed.  It was like Christmas for him the day we brought them home!  Beckett is in his own big bed on the bottom and he does great and we are even back to full normal afternoon naps!!  Yay!!

On a random note, our two oldest kids built a snowman a couple weeks ago but the snow started melting the next day so they tried to save their little friend by moving him onto the porch.  Well the next day they were out on the porch playing with the then ice ball that was once their snowman and somehow it ended up in our window!!  I don't know if you can see how bad it is, but it is really bad!!  

Here's our beautiful taped up mess of a window.  Luckily it only broke through the outside pain so it isn't freezing in our house, but it is the front window on the front porch so we officially look like the ghetto white trash family on the block.  I tried to make it look somewhat like a snowflake design so it would at least be festive:)  I was just so thankful that no one got sliced up.  Those glass shards are huge!
