We're Lovin' Preschool

Everyone keeps asking me if I'm sad that Emily has started preschool. I just give a resounding, "No way! Are you kidding me?" I love my little girl, but it's only once a week for two hours, and I'm loving my one-on-one time with Jonny while Emily's at school! Last spring, I teamed up with some friends to create a "joy school" type of preschool where we take turns teaching in our own homes. It's the best arrangement, and we all love it, so we decided to continue on this fall. Since Kathy and Brynn have moved (I miss you guys!), Elaine, Traci, and I found three more moms to join our group. I'm so excited for when it's my turn to teach!
(L to R): Audrey, Holden, Emily, Etta, Annie, and Adam.

Last Monday was Emily's first day back to preschool since the summer break. After I dropped her off, Jon and I went to the park to play. We met up with my new friend, Jenica, and her darling daughter, Addie. Then we went to DI, where I scored a killer deal on two cute purses for only $1 each, next to Toys R Us, picked Emily up from school, and finished off a great morning by eating lunch at Paradise Cafe. It was awesome! Yesterday, while Em was at preschool, I took Jon grocery shopping with me to Harmons. They have THE best customer service on the planet, so I actually look forward to grocery shopping. I don't know what I'll do next Monday for fun, but I do know that we're lovin' preschool!

I don't know whether I will be happy or sad when Kyle goes to preschool probably a little of both.

That's fun that you get to spend some alone time with Jon once a week. Plus, Emily gets to have fun with her friends at pre-school. It's a WIN-WIN-WIN for everyone (think "The Office)! :)

Ahhh! I can't believe you have a kid old enough to go to school! Ok, so it's not real school, but still! And Emily's so cute. I love her red toenails!

Thanks Katie, I love her red toe nails, too. ;) Wade paints them for her after I leave to direct choir practice on Sundays. I wish he would paint my toe nails. Sadly, mine have been quite boring all month.

So that pic of Emily is basically the most adorable picture! Even Austin thought it was cute!! I'm excited for her.

Sweet! Sounds like fun! I would love to do a joy school, but I just couldn't find one that had an opening for Kaylee.

We are doing the joy school thing with Jackson. All the mom's trade off. It is for an hour and a half every week. It is nice and he really likes going to "Play with the kids."
