Little Things

Well, a lot but not a lot of things have happened since I posted last. A lot of football and a lot of fun. I guess 1st I should explain the pictures below. The bottom one is of the boys watching SpongeBob, but it was too cute how they are sitting close, but not touching and their blonde hair just cracks me up. The next one up is the day of the Iowa vs. Penn St. game. Well, UNI played 1st, so we were in UNI gear and we found an old shirt of Kade's and couldn't find the newer one, so I had to take a pic of the belly shirt. The next one up is...oh this is just way too funny. Kade will still sometimes sleep with his tag blanket. I had to take a pic of him with this certain tag....when he was bitty he would find this in the dark...we would feel each tag and pick this certain one out. Just way too funny! Then the top 2 pictures. I bought the Monsters vs. Alien DVD yesterday and decided we would sit downstairs and have a picnic and watch the movie. They loved it. Little things will make little people so happy.
Man, that is about all the excitement in our lives. I am telling you we are so boring. Kai is still loving preschool and it is so amazing on how he talks so much more. I love that he is trying to tell us about things that happens in his day. It takes us a bit to figure it out, but we finally figure it out. Kade is doing great he is talking up a storm and counting....but he always forgets the number 4...I always ask what he has against the number. Oh well. He will get it.
PK have already been to 2 IA games and plan on going to a couple of more. We have wonderful friends and family that always seem to help us out when we need a get away.
Well, it is about time to brush teeth and get to bed. Kai will be in school tomorrow. I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. Much love! Kuempel Clan :o)

Iowa Football and Backyard Apples

Well, Kai has finished his 2nd week of preschool & so far all seems good. He loves to go to school and the teachers keep telling me they are in love with his smile. I talked to the lady that was in charge and she says that he is participating and interacts with all the kids. So, I am very happy that he is doing so good.
Kade is understanding more that Kai is going to school and he can't go yet, but I make it a point when I go pick Kai up from daycare and then drop him off...Deb knows I am coming and Kade is nowhere in sight. They are partners in crime, but I don't think that is a bad thing just yet.
We went to our 1st Iowa football game and it was against UNI. It was a hard pick on who to root for, but I am a true Iowa fan, but I am so happy that UNI came and gave it their all and really gave Iowa a run for their money. This weekend is Iowa vs. Iowa State. Come on HAWKS!!!! We will be heading next door to watch the game with our neighbors. I need to head out today to find a hawks flag and get some new gear for the boys.
So, the backyard apples. We have an apple tree and PK decided to try one and they taste really good. So, the boys were going to town on them. They are so funny. We were at the wing ding last night and I think those boys ran 10 miles. They really never stop, but it is so funny how I got asked all night if the blondes were mine...and yep they sure are....oh and they are big flirts. They had a group of 6 collage girls eating out of their hands. Man, I am in for a real treat when they get older.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekends. Love to you all!
EK, PK and the blondes!

Kade Surviving Without Kai...Barely

So, today was the 1st day that Kade and I dropped off Kai...which means Kai got to go to school and Kade got to hang out with Mom...I guess I am not as fun as I thought. 1st thing once we told Kai this morning that he was going to school he got on his shoes and got in the truck. Thank god our house alarms beeps when someone leaves the door. I went to the garage and there Kai is...crazy bed hair, shoes, underwear and his long sleeve shirt he slept in. He wasn't happy when I pulled him out and tried to explain we had an hour and a half until school.
When it was finally time to go....we got in the car and went to school. We were in line waiting to drop Kai off, so I got him unhooked from his car seat and his teacher arrived at the car door and I was like....is that your teacher and Kai got so excited and went right with her. But then Kadewas trying to undo his car seat straps and was like I go to skool mom I go to skool. As I pulled away Kade is BAWLING!!!! and I mean bawling NO KAI...NO KAI...NO KAI. Lord have mercy.
So, I finally got him calmed down and we ran errands and got Bob P books AKA Sponge Bob. Now for the last hour I have hear Kai skool Mom...Kai skool Mom, so I think when we pick Kai up from school Kade is going to be happy.

Much Love from one tired Mama!!!!

Preschool Part 2

Well, I got to pick up my baby Kai from Preschool. It is so funny. We have signs in our cars to know which child belongs to us. Then the teacher walks them out. I love it! He was so happy to see me and the teacher said it was a good day. And we will be back on Thursday. All I can say it is going to be a long running around school year, but I am so excited. I took him back to Deb's and I had to go in and take pictures on how Kade reacted on Kai finally coming back. He was excited. It will be interesting next year because Kade is so excited to go to school.

Well, Thanks for letting me share my 1st day of preschool as a mom :O).

1st Day of Preschool Part 1

Well, we made into the school with no tears. I am very proud of him. I walked him up and he was good. I didn't cry and neither did he until the little boy in front of him started crying then he looked at me like oh crap. Thank God the teacher took his hand and said lets go get Kai something to play with.

I will let you know how it goes picking him up. My Land!!!! my baby is in preschool.

Love to all! EK
