Stinky Feet Day for the Last Day...

I'm sure most of you know by now, but Daryl has been unemployed now for a few weeks. He was a civil inspector for the new light rail and now that that is up and running, he no longer has a job :(. It actually couldn't have come at a better time because he ended up getting a horrible cold that had lasted a few weeks and has since thrown out his back (for most of you that don't know..he was diagnosed with 4 bulging discs a few years back and it's only been getting worse ever since). So he probably would have been missing a good amount of work because of that. I also got a very part time job as a respite worker for AZA United working for a good friend of mine, so that will help some :). Now back to the post: We went back and fourth with the idea of keeping her in school or pulling her out. We ultimately decided that Feb would be her last month (along with Mia and Xavier). Her preschool is much too expensive for us right now and it will actually make my life much easier and less hectic now that we will have our afternoons open and all day on Fridays (Corbin has preschool Mon-Thurs mornings and she was going Mon-Wed-Fri afternoons). We will be putting her in some sort of program such as gymnastics so she still will have something (honestly, she doesn't seem to mind since she knows she will still get to see her friends pretty often).
I really want her to go to Palm Valley next year with Marianna and Mia (the two girls pictured to Tatum's left-below). We are going to hopefully try and get the girls in the same class together. I already know which teacher I want (after some extensive research lol). It's an excelling school and everyone raves how wonderful it is. We are in the Litchfield district, but still have to get a variance to go since she should go to the school around the corner from us..definitely not for us. Corbin will still be at Litchfield Elementary next year. I'm curious how everything will work out if kindergarten is cut to half days next year...


They had a Stinky Feet parade on her "official" last day.

Ate Green Eggs & Ham (and loved them).
Got to be calendar helper.

Trinity thought it would be a good idea if we went and had ice cream after school..we thought so too :).
