Friday Night Party!

Ok, so maybe it wasn’t a party, but Trevor still had an exciting evening this past Friday.  We invited his friend Chase over for the evening and the boys had a great time playing and having dinner at their own special table. 

 

Trevor’s Big Boy Room

Trevor has done a number on the wallpaper border in his room over the last several months, so last weekend we tore it down and did a quick makeover of his room.  We took it from baby turtle nursery to big boy in a day!  We are really happy with the way it turned out (so far)! 

We still have to get picture frames and put his name letters back up on the wall, but for now, it will do. 

P.S.  I made the curtains myself.  Susie Homemaker, whaaaaat?!

Catch Up

To catch me up, here are the highlights from my SD card, photo-dump style. 

 

Happy Founder’s Day!

…to all my Zeta Tau Alpha sisters.  Celebrating 113 years of seeking the noblest!  Here’s to many, many more!

(Note:  This is my first attempt at auto-publish.  So, if you see this before October 15, I am aware of the correct Founder’s Day date. ZLAM)

So long September!

As I sit and write this, my desktop weather thing is reading a chilly 48 degrees, so I know that summer is officially gone, so we can settle in for a cozy autumn.  To recap our September:

We started swim lessons again at the YMCA…..Trevor’s friend Chase is doing them with him and they are both having a great time. 

 

Lots of September was rainy and nasty here, so we took Trevor bowling for the first time…he had a blast!

Things are very busy here at the Chapman household…..work is picking up for Shane, work is steadily crazy for me, Trevor is in school, I am in school, Shane is toying with the idea of applying to school (please feel free to text and call him offering encouragement!)  so our calendar is full and we never seem to slow down too much! 

Pre-School Art

Tuesday Trevor brought home his first pre-school art project.  I promise I will not post about each one, but being that this is the first one, I wanted to share. 

 

Apparently they read “The Kissing Hand” and this related to it….I have never seen that book before, so I guess I know what I’ll be taking a peek at the next time I go to Barnes and Noble. 

First Day of School

Today was Trevor’s first day at pre-school!

He did great and went right into his classroom and started playing when I dropped him off—no tears, no hesitation, nothing!  He didn’t even say goodbye to me!  I am so glad he did so well on his first day. 

Me?  I can’t say I did so well…..I managed to drop off our tuition check in the office and make it out to my car before I broke down bawling.  Preschool is apparently much more traumatic for the parent than it is the child……

Anyway, here are some first day of school photos:

Leaving home for the first day of school!   We had some extra time to kill before we could go to drop-off, so we swung by my office and a co-worker tried to take pictures of us.
