Do I say that a lot?

Hmmm.... I must. Today Kyle was trying to get his bike out of the garage and I was doing something in the driveway and he yells, "Hey, help me out here." It's funny the things they pick up on. Last week I had asked him to put something in the trash can and he says, "You're killing me!" Rick and I laughed pretty hard at that one.

Well, here it is. My blog about what's going on in our MacWonderful life! I thought I'd try and keep up with the times, so Kyle and Ryan don't grow up thinking I'm an uncool mom!

Well, at least that part is over with (for me) and I can happily drop him off in the fall when preschool starts. He had such a blast all week long learning about ocean creatures through arts and crafts, games, stories, and even during snack time, when they made an aquarium out of blue food coloring, cream cheese and goldfish crackers. You can't end an underwater adventure without getting wet, of course. Each day they ran through sprinklers and played with the water table. He had so much fun that we had a little bit of a meltdown when it was time to go home. So, for the first time I was actually pleased my little 3 year old was pitching a fit!
