Preschool!!

I had my meeting with the ARD (admissions, reviews, dismissal) committee yesterday and they approved Kaden for special ed preschool based on his medical conditions and wanted him to start right away. So....today was his first day of preschool!! He was SO excited as you can see by the smile on his face. I took him to Target last night and let him pick his new backpack (Diego). He will go Monday thru Friday from 10:50 till 2:30 at the same school as Collin.
Ready to go!!


At the "sign in" area. The kids have to put their backpacks under their name tags and then find their name on the sign in board and print their name. Kaden needs work on the printing, but at least he tried. The teacher said he did a good job today. He had a few little problems (not paying attention, wanting to do something other than what they were supposed to be doing at the time), but she said to give it a week or so for him to settle in and if needed, we would discuss it more then.

State Fair

It seems strange to me, but the State Fair is such a big thing here in the Dallas area, that they give the kids a day off of school to go to it and they give them free tickets! Collins school had their fair day last Thursday. Jack had to work so I took the boys by self and we spent the day at the fair.
Kaden loved this race car ride...it whipped them around the ends and he had his hands in the air yelling "woo-hoo" the whole time!


Kaden on the airplane ride.

Collin on the ride that made you feel like Superman!

The boys learning about how they milk cows.

Kaden enjoys the rides!!

Unfortunately the boys are so different in height that they couldn't go on many of the rides together. Either Collin was too tall or Kaden was too short. I need to remember to talk to Kadens cardiologist about rides...he is the type of kid that is going to want to go on all the biggest and fastest!

New Venture

I have decided to become an AVON Representative. I know 99% of you are not in my area, but you can still order from me. I have my own website and am able to offer free or very reasonable shipping. AVON has much more than make-up and skin products. They also sell purses and handbags, clothing, kids items like Dora and Sponge bob, home decor and much more! I am excited about starting this as I have been looking into home based "mommy" type businesses. The fact that I absolutely HATE to get up and speak in front of a group of people made this a great option. Those of you that live near me, I will give you catalogs to browse, but others are free to browse the web site and I can mail you a catalog if you would like. Also, please let anyone else you know about my web site or pass on the catalogs to your friends and co-workers. If you are looking to order from the web site, email me first and let me know and I can find out about and free/low cost shipping discount codes available at that time. AVON comes out with a new catalog every 2 weeks, so make sure and check back often and I will let you know about any specials that may be of interest to you if you would like. Thank you all for your support! 214-681-0339 www.youravon.com/abredeweg
