Now doesn't that make you feel old?!
I took Tyler to register for kindergarten today. (Danielle stayed w/Grandma & Grandpa C after my uncle's funeral yesterday, so it was just the two of us.) In an attempt to get the kids excited about school, the lobby was decorated with a fiesta theme, complete with a paper mache cactus and furry burro. Tyler went by himself for speech, hearing, and vision tests. I was escorted to another room to fill out all the necessary paper work. When Tyler was done with his testing, he rejoined me - wearing a very colorful sombrero! Ole! Later he admitted he had a lot of fun and enjoyed retelling, in great detail, all about his experiences.
After his registration the two of us had lunch together at a sit-down restaurant. We had a very nice time. I genuinely enjoyed the company of my not-so-little-anymore son. It seems like it's only been a moment since we were celebrating his first breath, his first words, his first steps. Now we're almost ready to celebrate his first day of school. The time has already gone so fast. I'm so proud of who Tyler is!
After our time together, Tyler & I drove to Grandma C's to pick up Danielle. She had fun spending the night with Grandma & Grandpa and receiving their undivided attention. This afternoon the kids picked "flowers". They both delight in presenting me with bouquets of freshly picked treasures. As you can see from the pictures, they did quite a bit of delighting! 
"...A rose can say I Love You,
Orchids can enthrall;
But a weed bouquet in a chubby fist,
Oh my, that says it all!"

The kids finished off the day by spending some time working with Grandpa in the basement. Tonight they painted some of their wood projects. I think maybe they painted Danielle, too:
