Growing up

This past week was Marley's first day of preschool.  She goes half day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She was so excited about starting school, and was asking if it was time to leave two hours before it really was time to leave.




Checking in

By her cubby 

Poor Mike. So sad his baby is growing up.
 Here are the papers that Marley brought home from her first week at school.



 I have a brilliant idea of what I am going to do with all the school papers she brings home- You'll have to wait until May to find out what is it though.

After we picked Marley up on her first day she said "I love school"  We then came home, had a snack and headed to her first swimming lesson.



 Of course, she loved it and before we made it to the car she asked when she could come back. She has swimming on Monday and Wednesdays. We're keeping her busy that's for sure!

Basket Case

I persuaded Mike to go to some yard sales with me a few weekends ago. I found this basket for $0.50.



 At the time I had no idea what to do with it, but figured for that price I could find some use for it.  Once we got home I decided I wanted to spray paint it because we'll it's pretty ugly. Well, I didn't get to because Mike jumped in and did it for me.




 It looks so much better now.



After it sat out and dried I still didn't know what to use it for. Once I brought it inside I noticed all Mason's "toys" sitting around and decided that it would be his toy basket. He loves it!

August Marley talk

Here's the August edition of Marley talk.


After brushing her teeth
Marley- "are they shiny?"
Me- "so shiny"
Marley- "shiny as my grandma's floor?"


At a yard sale. Marley stayed in the van with the door open and Mike and I went up. The people having the sale had a bike, which Mike was looking at and a puppy that I was looking at.
Marley's yelling from the van- "I wanna pet the puppy",
Mike is talking to the lady about the bike. She tells him he can take it for a ride
Marley then yells-"I wanna ride the puppy"


This conversation happened between Marley and her bff Gracie-
M & G- in the back seat talking about poop
Me- "okay, let's stop talking about poop
Marley- "yah Gracie, no more poop"
Gracie- "okay, what about pee"
