national tumbling day.

last weekend the kids ventured out into the

cool backyard.

do you see the pants and boots??

she's been begging me to wear them.

apparently it was 'national tumbling day' at the whyte house.

daddy was showing them how to do cartwheels and roundoffs.

that was quite the site.

if i wasn't afraid of breaking my neck,

i'd show them how to do a front handspring.

however, the only tumbling i do is when i'm tripping over

one of the kid's toys.

a boy's first day of pre-k.

two of them in school.

oh, the awesomeness of it all.

it's only pre-k, a mere 2.5 hrs,

three days a week,

but still.

awesomeness.

i didn't get a hug.  i didn't get a kiss.  heck, i didn't even get a goodbye/glance/i'll see you when i'm hungry before he walked into his room to play.

blasted kid.  you will tell your mom goodbye. 

oh, well.  at least i didn't have to shove him in the door like i did to his sister.  makes it that much less obvious that i'm happy to have him out of the house. :)

we are STILL waiting(a month later) for justin's per diem check to come in, so we don't have pennies to take aiden out to eat for his first day of school like we did his sister.  instead, i gathered up my quarters, stopped by the dollar tree on the way to school pickup and got him his very own bag of twizzlers.  that and his dad decided to stay in bed and sleep instead of going and picking up his only son from his first day of school...and twizzlers are dad's favorite, too.  i gave aiden his treat and told him daddy didn't get any 'cause he didn't come. haha.  punishments are awesome. :)

the little boy liked that agreement of not having to share.
very happy camper.

here's to a great pre-k year!
