My Buki starts preschool!

My little boy had his first day of Preschool today! He has been looking forward to going to school for weeks and was very excited. He picked out a Transformers backpack and tells everyone about it (not that they can understand him...)

I was a little bit sad dropping off my growing-up boy, but excited for him to have some fun new opportunities.

When I picked him up, I asked him what he did at preschool. The only thing I got out of him was, "Not hit." If his teacher manages to drill that one thing into his head, I think we'll call preschool a success.

Also, when I told Isaac I was putting pictures of him on the blog, he said, "'Bout the Halloween one?" I asked him which one, and he said, "The scary one!" I think he meant his "rar-rar" costume, which is what he called his Beast costume from when he was one. So, to make him happy and for your viewing pleasure, here is a little flashback.

Vacation Flashback

We're going on vacation tomorrow, and to get in the mood, I decided to do a flashback post today. These pictures are from Thanksgiving weekend 2005. Any guesses where we are going this weekend??

Our first evening there, Bampa took Sareny to Downtown Disney while the rest of us were napping. He thought it was a little cold, so he bought this cute little Minnie Mouse sweatshirt for her. (I did pack her a jacket, but he didn't take it with him on their walk.) I remember being a little shocked by the pricetag!

Here's my little cutie in front of Matterhorn. She has grown so much since then!

This was the last time we were able to go to Disneyland with the whole crew. Sareny was still the only grandchild, although Isaac was on his way.

Since Cassidy was not visible in the last photo, she gets her own spotlight. Well, I guess she has to share it with random guy, okay, and Sareny too, but oh well. I seem to be lacking pictographic evidence that James was on this trip too, but rest assured that he was. (Sorry Bames.)

For our Magic Morning, we took Sareny to Fantasyland with Grammy Jo while the rest of the group hit Space Mountain and Matterhorn. I was glad Grammy spent that fun time with us!

Disneyland was celebrating 50 years, their Golden Anniversary, and we got to ride on the golden Dumbo and golden carousel horse that they had just for the year. We raced for them as soon as we got through the lines!

We have some fun memories from Disneyland over the years. I have loved it since I was a kid and enjoy watching my kids experience the magic and excitement for themselves.
