Sept 3

Tanner had Karate and was a complete mess. He is constipated and making life for those that work with him misserable too.
Cole had a hard time being left at daycare, he cried when I left.

Sept 2

Cole's first day at his daycare. He was so proud of his new lunch pale and wouldn't let it go when I was buckling him into his carseat, dropping him off at school he wouldn't leave it in his cubby, he just wanted to hold it. :o) He had a hard time letting me go too. I had to bring Cole to the window (they have a "goodbye stool") and show him mommy's car and to watch mommy go to work. He did it and it was so heart breaking to leave him in a place where he didn't know anyone, yet. I called to check on him around lunch time. They reported that he is doing fine.
I had school later that evening and Dane had to pick him up from school, which wouldn't be until 5:30 that evening. I had to take a peek on him before heading out to Walnut Creek for class, so I made a visit with out him knowing. He was playing well outside with the tricycles and the other kids. :o) His teacher reported that he did a good job with no accidents, pees standing up, and protests naps.. big surprise lol

Sept 1

Labor Day and Done with Au Pairs and finally have the extra room in our home to clean and get organized for our own. I turned the closet into an area for Tanner's clothes and my scrapbook materials.
The boys and I took a drive out to Livermore to pick-up a Cricut machine for my scrapbooking. We also paid a visit to my friend Leah and her kids ( Scottie and Jordan). The visit was short and sweet but great.

Aug 30

I joined my good friends in scrapbooking in Livermore. What a great time talking with the group of lovely ladies about not-so-ladylike discussions.. lol

Aug 24

We took Alex (German Au Pair) and the kids to Discovery Kingdom (aka. Marine World). We had a lot of fun! Tanner rode his first "adult" roller coaster, Tony Hawk, and was thrilled by the experience. Dane and I are so excited to have a child that enjoys coasters like his daddy and mommy. Cole is at a difficult age that he doesn't know to stay with you, yet he doesn't want to be in a stroller either, so it was quit tiring to truck him around the park. Cole had his first ride "alone". He went up in a dumbo ride. I was a bit freaked out as he is my accident prone child and that dumbo goes high up in the air w/ my Cole.

Aug 22

Dane and I went to a wedding at a resort, Willowood Spa in Helena California. The children were lined up to stay with my parents, but my mom hurt her leg and couldn't care for the kids. We called our friend, Jim (the Groom), he told us to come and bring the kids. Our kids were the only kids at the wedding. Absolutely beautiful location, I felt like we were in the Blue Bayou in Disneyland as the night was illuminating with stars, temp was perfect, paper lamps were strung from tree to tree. The service was something I have never experience, our table sat eight and we had eight servers (one per person) sit each of our four course plate in front of us a the same time. Too cool!
