We couldnt leave Alissa's big day out, so here she is on her first day of pre-school today. She is actually in the peer program, which is a head start class for slightly disabled kids. Alissa goes to act as one of the non-disabled peers to be an example for the other kids. I think it will be a really great experience for her, and one she can grow and learn from and also help prepare her for Kindergarten next year. She was excited to have 3 other girls in her class, since she has been shorted that experience pretty much her whole life...with the exception of home of course. She has been pretty much the only girl her age in all her primary classes and our neighborhood. Dont feel too bad though...she has enough attitude to make up for all of that missing estrogen. We were glad to hear she had some more to keep her company at school though. The only downside to this arrangement will be me having to adjust to packing the kids up twice a day to go to and from the school. Im dreading having to leave my warm house and drive out in the cold and snow in the next few months. But I guess the 3 hours of silence at home makes it worthwhile. It happens to be during Zacks naptime, so me and Brylee can just hang out and enjoy the peacefulness. If I get real lucky, Brylee might take a nap sometimes too!
Anyway, here she is sporting her outfit of choice for the day. 
I couldnt make cupcakes again, but I did finish making these new curtains for her room. She really loves them, maybe more than cupcakes...hmmm, maybe not.

Zack, seeing how all the girls got to have their pictures taken had to get his time in the spotlight too. His pajamas arent quite as trendy as the girls school clothes, but he thinks they come pretty close. Complete with matching sippy cup.
And since we posted everyone else, here is the last but not least. Just 5 more years for the official first day of school picture. This picture does make her look older, but not old enough!Brylee at 8 months.
Well, thats the end. Nothing now but early mornings and lots of homework. Boy will this be a busy year!

Alissa looks so cute and grown up. So do Zack and Brylee. I think Brylee has more hair than my poor bald 20 month old.
Since we made the same cupcakes, do I have to make curtains for Alex's back to school day? I wish, but I can't even sew on a button. Those are super cute though. I am so jealous!
Wow! Alissa curriculum has arrived! Is this program 3 days a week or everyday?
She picked a nice outfit. Does her class do field trips?
Her new curtains are great - (besides she probably shared cupcakes the other day).
I'm thinking everyone will be finding perks in new schedule! YaY!!
Thanks for sharing the school agenda...:) gmaT.
I love the program that Alissa is in. What a great idea! When Matthias hits that age I'll have to find out about it.
Love the curtains... talent!!
Zach is ADORABLE and Brylee is TOO cute and TOO grown up!!
