Every year after Graduation, the school hosts a Roller Skating party for all the kids and their families at the local roller rink. And since we no longer live near a ice rink, this is the next best thing. Here are some shots of the party.<br />

Our little Peanut graduated from Preschool. She is all ready and very excited for Kindergarten.<br />
She also received a perfect attendance award. We were so very proud. Here are a fell shots from the event.<br />

She has lots of plans for the summer and even more hopes for next year. This was a long but good year.

<br />
For my Thirty first birthday, I decided to have a <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/BethGrossmann?verify=true" target="_blank">31</a> party. If you are not familiar with 31, it works like lots of other companies, in that you host a "party" and the more your friends buy, the more perks you get. Normally, I am not a fan of hosting parties, but I love using my friends parties as an excuse to shop. Things like "I have to get something to help my friend get her rewards" or "If I don't buy something from her party she wont get anything when I have a party" are always a great way to justify a purchase.<br />
<br />
I used my rewards to get pretty pink things that matched. In my book, it doesn't get much better than that.<br />

I got the <a href="https://www.mythirtyone.com/BethGrossmann/shop/Catalog/ItemDetail/3849?isSummary=False" target="_blank">Timeless Beauty Bag</a> and used it as a office/stationary carry all. It is intended for make up and toiletries, but it was the perfect size for the kids tablet and my "desk on the go" supplies.<br />

Since we found out the our Peanut has <a href="https://celiac.org/" target="_blank">Celiac</a>, I have found myself having to bring gluten free food with us everywhere we go. since there are not many options for her at restaurants, and not everyone understands it when we go to parties and play dates. So this little thermal pouch is perfect to carry in y purse so I can be ready whenever she gets hungry. I plan to get a few more of these to keep things like make up and crayons in the car without it melting in the summer months.<br />
<br />

I also got a small zipper pouch for little miscellaneous, like hair clips, band aids, mints, and all other little things that get lost on the bottoms of the bag.<br />

This water bottle thermal was one of my greatest investments. Because now I can freeze and water bottle and stick it inside of the bag, without worrying about everything else getting wet. Unfortunately, I don't think this item is available anymore.<br />

And of course I got a matching beg to put it all in. This is my everywhere we got bag. It doesn't always comes inside when we go places, but it is always at least in the car, so we always have what we need. All with a key fob to match.<br />

Since the Party, I've also bought a regular zipper pouch to keep an emergency change of clothes for the kids always handy. And it's a perfect fit inside the bag. <br />

After having a conversation about how we were wondering when would his loose tooth finally come out, I started to brush his teeth. I was very careful not to put to much pressure on the loose tooth, but even with the smallest of movement, his tooth just came out. </div>

I am so thankful that it happened so naturally and not with us pulling it and traumatizing him. I have some very vivid memories of my fear of pain while my parents tied a string to my tooth and my a door handle. The ordeal would take what felt like forever, since every time they tried closing the door, I would jump forward for fear of it hurting. At the end, I would always be amazed at how it actually didn't hurt, but by then I was already traumatized by the experience. So needless to say, that I was overjoyed when nature took its course and his tooth simply "fell out" with out any prompting from me.TrueCharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00028338572771210264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-895188296994108899.post-68681461489374728522016-10-13T12:54:00.002-04:002016-10-13T12:54:30.298-04:00School Carnival <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Every year, in the spring time, the school does a carnival with lots of fun things to do, prizes to win, and funds to raise for the school.<br />
<br />

We got to join in with our own little booth. We got to pass out some information about the Salvation Army and the programs we have in the community. We also have a "kissing booth" sign next to a jar of Hershey kisses, so people could guess how many "kisses" where is it. The winner got to keep the jar and candy. Unfortunately, Peanut was the one with the closest guess, so the jar came back home with us.<br />

After they had lined up on stage, the school principal came by with their little diplomas. After they all announced that the kids had officially graduated Kindergarten, they all moved their little tussles from one side to the other. And I know I'm overusing this word today, but it was ADORABLE!!!</div>

After everything was done, all the parents gathered the kids for photos, and I think that over a thousand pictures were taking in less than five minutes. Flashes were coming from everywhere and the kids were never really sure were to look. But I honestly think it just made it cuter. And Truett seemed to know to look right at me for most shots, so I am really happy with how these turned out. </div>

Peanut got a lot of cute girly things from grandma, but when we went to the store to pick out her brothers bike, she picket out this crazy looking unicorn helmet, and said it was all she wanted. She had a great time just rocking the helmet while she made her daddy and Papa pull her around since she is still too little for her bike.<br />

Truett got a new bike as a very early Christmas gift. He is so very excited to learn to ride, but he is also very fearful, and with the weather changing, he may have to wait until Spring to master bike riding. I'm not pushing it too hard, since I was already 10 when I learned to ride a bike. How old were you, when you learned to ride your bike?<br />

Lowe's has a program called <a href="https://lowesbuildandgrow.com/" target="_blank">Build and Grow</a>. The program is basically a building clinic for the kids. The kids receive a kit to build something, for October it was a haunted house the opened up so you could put candy in it. There is a "work bench" set up with little hammers and space for the kids to build. The first time they go, the receive goggles and an apron. Every time they come back for a new project, the receive a new iron-on patch to put on their apron to show what they have already done. </div>

The kiddos had a great time building and we will defiantly be coming back for more. Other chain hardware stores offer the same program with a different name. So if you have one in your town, check them out, because it is a lot of fun for the whole family to build something together. Not to mention that it is free and the kids get a toy out of it.<br />

The kiddos had their first school open house. We got to meet the teachers, learn about their routine every day and get a tour of the class and school given by the kids themselves. I also really enjoyed getting to meet the other parents. I always appreciate adult conversation. </div>

The kids had so much fun showing us around and getting pictures with their teachers. And as you can tell by Truett's dirty shirt, he also really enjoyed the snacks. Does your school have open houses? What is your favorite part about them?<br />

I have been cleaning house and cleaning van. My van is usually like a big purse for me- it has everything I need inside, but I can never find anything when I need it.So I decided to put an end to the madness and organize it. And I'm kind of proud of how functional it turned out. </div>

The trunk has two big bags. The first one has emergency things, such as blankets, towels, extra outfits for the kids and neck pillows in case the kids get tired on trips. The other bag has umbrellas and everything for an instant picnic. There is a picnic blanket, some toys, bubbles and bug spray. Next to the bags is the stroller that I still use when we go to the zoo, the fair or anyplace that the kids will want to be carried after a while. My husband thinks the kids are too big for the stroller, and they probably are. But I think they are too big for me to carry them, so the stroller stays.<br />

The storage between the sits has some more emergency stuff. It has a first aid kit, hand sanitize, extra trash bags, paper towels, pens, the kids music CDs and maps of the county and the town. After I took the picture, I also added a small container of Clorox wipes and some "Wet Ones".<br />

How do you keep your car clean?<br />

We are loving living in Marietta. There are fun things to do all the time around here, like the "Marietta Market Place" which happens annually. It is the perfect Saturday morning thing to do during the Fall. </div>

The market place happens in front of the Armory in town. And Truett never goes by the Armory without getting his picture taken with the canon. It was a chilly but great day. Autumn is by far my favorite season, so this is my kind of event. What is your favorite season?</div>

We really love our new home, and Peanut really loves her new room. It is bigger and brighter than her <a href="http://truecharismacrafts.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-tour-of-our-home-charismas-room.html" target="_blank">old room</a>, but everything is still very girly and very pink.<br />

She has own private play area under her bed. We use a quilt instead of a rug under her bed. I think that makes it way more cozy and comfy.<br />

She is at the wonderful age of make believe, and its wonderful to watch her pretend to cook and have her serve us with pretend food. She uses books as trays and calls us "Melady" and "Mysir". It is just too cute.<br />

So I have been in hiatus for a while it seems. Since our move, life has been wonderful. So wonderful in fact, that I was enjoying it too much to post about it, or to remember to pick up the camera at lot of times.<br />
<br />
I am so very sorry to neglect you, my beautiful readers. And to make up for it, I will be doing a post marathon. Basically a catch up to everything that has happened since my last post.They may not be in the best of chronological order. But close to it.<br />
<br />
You will see that a lot of what has happened, has taking place in our own town. No big trips anywhere for the most part, just us loving what we have right where we are.<br />

This is my favorite time of the year! It's cold enough for people to start dressing (and smelling better), but is still not so cold that you have to keep inside. Plus there are pumpkins, and pumpkin spice flavor everything, candy corn, apple cider, changing colors and falling leaves. </div>

One of my favorite things about living by the river is the fog. It's like a gentle blanket covering everything. and when it's lifting from the water, it's like a thousand souls rising to heaven. The kid like to say that we are driving through the clouds- which I guess, is technically not wrong. </div>

This last one is the one I chose for the kids party because the color matched perfectly with the goody bags and favors I found at <a href="http://www.walmart.com/cp/615760" target="_blank">Walmart</a>. I'm saving the other for next year. </div>

I did want to put a little disclaimer here- I am not a photographer. I just snaps pictures whenever I see something pretty. Believe me, my photos do not do justice to the real view. But I wanted to share it anyway.

Our little Peanut loves playing make believe. She wear some sort of costume or crazy-get-up at least once a week. Tiaras, wings, hats and full on costumes are part of her everyday. I love her imagination, her individuality and her sense of style. </div>

<br />
I printed this adorable quote from the<a href="http://www.balancinghome.com/2012/04/teacher-appreciation-printable.html" target="_blank"> Balancing Home</a> blog. I found the cutest tissues from Walmart, also for 97 cents. They had the picture of a screaming teacher and said "The students are coming!!" Which worked out great since the kids dropped the kids off to the teachers a week before school started, when they went to visit their new class.<br />

I added some candy and this adorable printables from <a href="http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/2012/08/back-to-school-printable/" target="_blank">Thirsty Hand Made Days</a> Blog. The printable had some information about the kids and a second card for the teacher to complete and return to me with some ideas to help me put together her next gifts.<br />

I really wanted to fill up the pencil case so I got a few more things (to make it look full). I added a bookmark made by Salvation Army women in Papua New Guinea. I got these adorable miniature journals for 25 cents each at Walmart. When I went to the dollar store I got 3 note pats for a dollar and 3 pretty pens for a dollar as well. The apple sticky notes I got for 25 cents each, last year from a discount bend long after school had started.<br />

We made 3 gift boxes, one for Truett's teacher and the other two for Charisma's teacher and assistant teacher. The kids loved picking out the goods for their teachers and the teachers seemed to really enjoy the thought they we put into it.<br />
I'm supper exited to put together teacher gifts for all the coming holidays. How about you?TrueCharismahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00028338572771210264noreply@blogger.com0
