A little story from mama...

While playing outside tonight Tori says to Daddy, "I need my sunglasses Daddy" to which Bryan responds, "no, honey it is not sunny out now" and Tori quick on her toes says, "right there Daddy it issss sunny" pointing across the street in her best sassy mcfrassy style

I had to take a picture of where she was pointing.  Pretty proud of my not quite 2 1/2 year old for knowing what "sunny" is ... can only imagine what she  has in store for us the 16 years!!!

Summer Time

Summer has officially hit St Charles..yesterday and today it was very close to 90 degrees..we love to be outside and this water play table has been worth every penny so far and it is still May!!

 new water shoes finally fit!!

 part of our backyard that we want to put a waterfall or fountain in someday

 all smiles when we play outside!! 

In the mornings our deck is shaded - perfect for playing outside!!

Preschool Yoga

yep you read that title right...Tori does yoga in school every week...how cute right? Imagine 2 year olds posing, all together, in unison (not sure that really happens but it does in my head)  Guess it is paying off because this is how I found Tori saying "Mama, look at me, I yoga"

Teacher Appreciation Week

Last week Tori's school recognized all of the teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week.  We love Tori's teachers so we decided we were going to make them something special each day....

On Monday - "You are O-fish-ally the Best" snacks

On Tuesday - "You are Scent-sational" car fresheners

On Wednesday - "My teacher is AW-some" drinks

my model was losing interest

On Thursday - "Thank you for helping me grow" art

we forgot to take a picture but here is a picture of what we did

On Friday - "Thank you for taking good care of our little Tootsie"

and on the other side "You deserve Chocolate - thanks for all you do!"

We hope Ms Sam, Ms Leah and Ms Rachel enjoyed their goodies!! 

My mama is sooooo cool

she lets me draw and write on the table with markers!!
