Grass!

Somehow, over the last three years, areas of our lawn deteriorated and turned to dirt patches. Once we realized the extent of it we knew something had to be done. We had TruGreen come out and aerate and over seed our lawn.
Here are the before pictures:
In just 2 weeks (and watering 3 times per day) the lawn looks green and fabulous! I was so worried that we may not get good results. We are so happy with how things are growing. Come spring, our fresh new lawn should grow in beautifully.

A Peek into Green Gate Preschool...

I rarely discuss anything about Green Gate Preschool, my home-based preschool/childcare, on my family blog because I have a preschool blog for that. But, it is a large part of my life and I spend a lot of time in this space. I took some updated pictures so I thought I would give you a peek into my cozy little classroom.
This is a view from the kitchen.
This is the entrance with cubbies and the parent board.
Thanks for Looking!

IT'S OFFICIAL....

First Sleepover!

The girls had their first sleepover with a friend from Green Gate. We went to Aunt Celia's house and they ate hotdogs off the grill, ate S'mores and ran around like crazy kids. They were worn out, but decided they wanted to look at Monster books before they went to sleep!
