RPA
I was elected President of RPA (Rockwall Preschool Association) this year. I had to have a current picture for our first newsletter. Johnny took this yesterday morning :)

KINDERGARTEN!!!
Where have the last five years gone?!?! Eli just finished his first week of kindergarten. On the way home, I asked him to describe it using only 3 words. He said, "Cool, awesome and best!!" He loves his teacher, Mrs. Scamperino. She even got an extra hug on the first day after school before I got one. His best friend David isn't in the same class, which was devastating at first. However, he does know one girl that is in his class, Charlotte, which made it better. The first four days we walked him in and got him settled in his class. This morning, he informed me that he was ready to do it by himself. I was a little sad, but also a little relieved when I realized that meant that I didn't have to get up at 6:15 in order to have time to shower, get dressed, finish packing his lunch, get Zoe ready and be out the door by 7:40. So, I'm back to taking him in my pajamas :)
Starting school has meant a few changes around the Tomasino house. We now have this thing called a bedtime, after school chores and no more naps for Eli. I am trying to have dinner ready by 6:30 (which is early for us), showers and bath by 7:15 and kids heading to bed by 8:00. When Eli gets home, he is responsible for feeding Harley, taking out his portion of the trash and packing his lunch for the next day. He takes a lunch and an afternoon snack each day. I bought 3 plastic shoe boxes for the pantry. Two of them are for lunches, one with chips and crackers and one with dessert. The other is for snacks. He chooses one item from each box and I make the rest in the morning. So far, it is working really well and he isn't doing any complaining about it :) We'll see if it's the same story around week ten!

Long Time, No Blog :)
Wow, I didn't realize just how long it's been since I'd put a new entry. A lot has happened in the last five months :)
Eli turned 5 on April 30th. He had a Science birthday party at the Rotary Hall. We saw this Professor Brainius at one of the summer programs at the library last summer. He has said since then, 9 months before his birthday that that is what he wanted to do for his party. So, I booked him in January. There were 21 kids plus him and Zoe at the party. All of the kids had a great time and Eli was the star of the show. The Professor even brought him special goggles that he got to keep.
Zoe turned 2 on June 30. However, her party was a couple of weeks later. Eli came up with the idea to have a dress up party at home, so that is what we did :) I made Zoe a big fluffy tutu so she could be a ballerina and she refused to even put it on. Fortunately, on the way home from Clint and Staci's wedding we stopped in Granbury and I found a little Mud Pie dress with an attached tutu. Eli was Super Why the first half of the party and then he switched into Spiderman. The kids decorated foam door hangers and tiara cookies.
