What's Going On?

Well, to say the very least, a TON is going on!
Work and school are pretty much consuming our lives right now. It's very, very busy all the time. And I love that! I love being constantly doing something and being around people and having lots going on. Helps the time go by and its just really fun, too.
So, Elizabeth is doing awesome in Kindergarten!
This is a rundown of our day:
Getting ready in the morning
I drop the girls off at Bountiful High Preschool at 8:30
I get to work (Boulton Elementary) at 8:45
I go and pick up Elizabeth for Kindergarten at 12:30
Get back to Boulton and her afternoon Kinder starts at 12:45
Then when school lets out at 3:25, I just go grab her from her classroom or whatever and we head back to Bountiful High to get Sydney.
So, Monday thru Friday, this is my day! It's so awesome! It's so much fun to have Elizabeth right down the hall from me. She peeks in my classroom every now and then to say hey. She has the cutest teacher, Mrs. Menlove. The other kids in her class are SO CUTE! Elizabeth is already best buds with everyone. Kennedy, Tanner, Kate, Tess, Weston, Emma, Nakaila, Michael, and Harrison.
Just to name a few. Then of course there's all her friends at Preschool! Ok, my daughter is freakin popular! Elizabeth is learning so many new and fun things. Everyday they talk about a letter of the alphabet. Do fun art projects and have a snack that begins with that letter. She has library, computer, music, and P.E. She LOVES P.E. She loves to tell me all about the games she plays and how fast she runs. I'm so proud of Elizabeth. It's been great that she's had the whole preschool experience since she was 2 months old. It has really helped prepare her for this new Kinder experience. The teachers at Bountiful High Preschool should be awarded the highest medals in the world for making it the most wonderful time for Elizabeth and now of course, Sydney. I can already see Syd in Kinder just doing the exact same way with her awesome social skills and the way she can make friends. She'll do just as great.
Sydney is now in the full time preschool. She is the HIT over there. She is so comfortable and so friendly and so loving to everyone. The kids there are just the best for her to be surrounded by. Her 2 best friends are Ava and Grant. When we arrive in the morning, Grant says "Sydney!" Then when we leave, he's usually being picked up at the same time by his mom and he and Syd say "Bye! Bye!" for like 10 minutes. So cute.
Mark is busy at work...getting more and more jobs. So, that's good. We have been enjoying the warm weather. We are super excited for October and the fall leaves changing colors and HALLOWEEN!
Next week is St. George and so I'll have pictures to share.
Just a lil update for now. The girls are doing awesome in everything they are doing. Constantly learning, growing and changing.
