Transitions

What a week! We have had an eventful few days. Both kids are transitioning at school. Hayden has moved to the pre-K class and Sage is in Transitions (creative name for 2 year olds). Both are enjoying their new surroundings and making new friends.
Tuesday after work, we decided to head to Seattle to visit Nanny in the hospital and to see some family. We got to visit with Grandpa, Aunt Angie, Cousin Heidi, Lachelle, and of course Nanny. Wednesday it was time for some serious back to school clothes for the kids (hey, moving classes at daycare counts as back to school right?) Grandma F and Jamie and Avery joined in the fun. The notion that girls are more fun to dress than boys seems to really hold true as miss Sage has a truck load of darling things but Hayden just got a few things. Sage, however has shot up like a little weed and has NOTHING to wear anymore because she has outgrown it all! Hayden can still fit into all his stuff from last year, so he will not be naked with out some new things. But hey, a guy needs new stuff too. Grandma bought him some courderoy army pants that he immediately wanted to wear, slept in that night and wore all the next day, even after we got home and it was 86 degrees. Sage was tough to shop for because we still have a good month or so of hot weather, so she needs some transition clothes (back to that word again!) So hopefully the stuff can stretch into fall and early winter. She is now in 2T, the real cute stuff! kind of exciting. We no longer shop the baby racks. We rode the carousel; Hayden picked the biggest horse on the thing. When it started up, he got a little nervous, but his sister was having a blast so he at least put on a smile and pretended to like it and by the end of the ride, i think that he convinced himself that it was actually fun. After a nap, we headed to Jamie and Kyles; little did they know that dinner with my kids is always an adventure and sure enough, they performed like never before, it was aweful. Animals-thats all i can say... Early to bed in hopes of a better day Thursday. And it was. We went to the beach with grandma and grandpa and got squirted by geoducks, or "bouy ducks" according to Hayden. We had a very pleasant time and then decided to head to the hospital where we got to visit with Nanny and Arlene. Nanny seemed to be doing much better and the kids were happy to get a visit in, especially since the hospital put a brownie on Nannys tray and Nanny doesn't like chocolate. Guess who helped? :) Then home, and fast because Daddy was waiting to take us to the rodeo! Wow, what an exciting night. We had VIP tickets and got to sit above the chutes. Sage wanted to ride the bulls so bad but we wouldn't let her. It was a late night but the kids had a great time eating cotton candy and watching the animals. mooo.
Then it was back to work today-ho hum. I guess we will have to see what is in store for the weekend.
