School Carnival!

Kindergarten pumpkin patch field trip

Lucy and Ava went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch this week with their kindergarten class. They actually took a bus to get there, and this was their very first time riding a bus! They were both very excited, and probably more excited about the bus than the pumpkin patch! ;-) I wasn't able to go on this field trip (darn nursing school!!!!!), but I am thankful that Chris was able to go.... and I am also thankful that he took photos for me. :-)

 The smallest ice cream cones around!

 Practicing letters!

 Maddie loves to read, and she will read to anyone (or any animal, real or fake!) that will listen.

 Drawing fairies!

 My shy girl didn't want to show me her pretty drawings. :-)

Ava's outfit that she picked out for Kindergarten.  It's, well, interesting! :-)

Cheetos, beer, and my Monday night care plan.... I'm in for a night of fun!

Quick note... care plans are 8 pages long and they take about 4-5 hours to complete.   They cover every aspect of patient care that needs to be known before waking up at 430am the next morning to care for your patient at 6:30am.  Yes... I will get through this... I will get though this.. I will get through this!!!!!!!!!

Our girls were picked for picture of the day with Roseville Galleria Mall!!!

This is what the Galleria mall said about our girls! "When the Galleria management team saw the Siler girls they went crazy for them! These girls are more American than APPLE Pie and they sure are cutie pies! Thanks for the love!" 

Now I just hope we win the contest! :-)

Busy, busy, BUSY!

There is NO doubt in my mind when I say this; I/we have been BUSY!  Between school, studying, and soccer, I've been sleeping. :-)  (Joke!) Actually, I've been trying to spend quality time with my three little princesses, and also some teeny tiny bits of time with my wonderful dear husband.  (Who by the way has made an amazing transition from husband and manly man to... well.... Mr. Mom.....) No, seriously... I could not have made it through these last 3 (or has it been 4?) weeks without my amazing and wonderful husband. :-)  Thank you for all your support sweetie!!!!!!! Ok... a little off topic... like I said, we have been busy.  I try to catch some free moments here and there, and so for I'm doing okay... I think.  The school schedule is a little more manageable now than it was when I first started.  I just took my first test and did amazingly well (yes, I'm very proud of myself!) I even got a chance to work in the girls Kindergarten class on Friday! Today all three girls had their very first soccer games.  Lucy and Ava were so incredibly cute!  Ava made a goal, on the wrong side, but still, she made a goal.. Lucy just ran around smiling. :-)  Maddie of course played incredibly well!  She even scored the very first goal of the season! GO MADDIE! 

 Bubble bath time fun!

 The girls had so much fun with these monstrous bubbles!

 First soccer game!

 Ava is so serious when she plays!

 Since Chris' station in now in Old Fair Oaks, he was able to come to the game!  YAY!

 Handsome papa, beautiful girls!

 My little Madeline... so cute, and almost always happy. :-)

 Lucy and Ava colored in a tiny bit of shade while Maddie was playing. It was so hot today!

 I was very brave today... I let the girls make chocolate cupcakes ALL BY THEMSELVES!

 Of course all Ava and Lucy wanted to do was eat the batter!

 Cracking eggs is serious buisness!

 Licking the bowl is ALWAYS the best part. :-)

 Okay... so I was actually home one morning while the girls were getting ready for school... and Lucy tried on ALL of these shoes before FINALLY picking a pair! After I saw this mess I had to really wonder if they actually need all these shoes!!

Maddie and Mr. Hemingway.  AKA Mr., sweetie, cutie pie, Hem, Hemster, and roid... (add Hem to roid and you will get Chris' odd name for our wonderful kitty!  He has a strange sense of humor sometimes....!)
