B-E-A-UTIFUL....

So TW and PWG started day camp this week...their little chests are so puffed up and thier little throats raw as they tell everyone they meet that they are "big girls" now

Last week they "graduated" from their pre-K class at daycare...this thrust them into the world of the BIG kids and the summer day camp that the daycare runs...

at first I was a little weary...after all they are only 5...and fairly newly 5 at that...

then I got the list of activities...swimming, bowling, baseball games, trips to the ice cream parlor...movies...heck I want to be a kid again....

but then I thought man they are going from a class of 12 kids and 2 teachers into a day camp unit of 20 (ages 5-7)...with only 2 teachers over all those kids...could they handle it? Will they be ok?

Monday evening we picked them up - and thier eyes were bright and shiney and they couldn't stop talking about everything they did that day...most of which consisted of a field trip to the local snow shack and some coloring...

but the absolute best thing...the thing that I will forever be grateful for daycamp...

BOTH of them were in bed and ASLEEP by 8:15 pm....sweet heaven above I thought I heard the angels singing on high...

and yesterday they went to a local baseball game...in bed...ASLEEP by 8:10 pm

THANK YOU...THANK YOU...THANK YOU daycamp....

That is the best! What big girls you have. I'm trying to keep my kids outside as much as possible - for that very reason - good sleepers!
