Amanda's Preschool Valentine's Day Party

Amanda's class started their day with a lot of their normal things - like the Pledge of Allegiance, Calendar, Weather....they formed nice straight lines and we went to the atrium for play time...



Amanda & I had fun rolling the ball back & forth to each other, hopscotch and she even showed me some balancing...time to head back to the classroom...














Let the party begin....with SUNDAES! Different flavors of ice cream to choose from, toppings galore, whip cream, wow!


Here is Amanda and her creation!


Is it a coincidence that Amanda is sitting by all boys?! She likes (loves) Michael (right, back)!!


Here are some of the other classmates and friends


MmmMMMmm!


Mommy had to leave before any of the festivities so I could help out with Natalie's class....so I am waiting for more pictures from Joe's Mom of the rest of the party and I will post later!

Feb. 9 - Lazy Afternoon @ Grandma's

We spent the afternoon at Grandma's having lunch and baking/eating chocolate chip cookies. The kids played w/Daphne, Grandma's gentle dog and played "Play" on Grandma's stairs, a perfect stage! Of course, Natalie was the director and Amanda was quite the little actress! Sydney even got in to it!

Feb. 5 - Flower Girl Dress Shopping ~ Veiled in Elegance ~ & Twin Day

February 6 - Twin and Triplet Day

Natalie had TWIN DAY at school and so Gianna's Mommy & I planned to dress the best friends as twins - down to the socks and hair accessories! Amanda got in on the action too when we went to lunch after school got out and surprised Natalie and Gianna w/her matching outfit too - TRIPLETS! Lunch was at McDonald's and Joey and Ryan joined us too! So much fun! Lots of giggles and dancing too!

February 5 - Flower Girl Dress Shopping

This afternoon we met Mary, the Bride-to-be to my brother Anthony, my future sister-in-law and Auntie to our kids......to shop for Flower Girl dresses for Natalie, Amanda and Sydney for the wedding that will be in June.....we had so much fun and the girls absolutely loved looking @ themselves in the mirror and admiring themselves. We found the dress and finished the afternoon with a late lunch @ Fox Fire! What a lovely afternoon of us all bonding as family!
