Preschool Portraits

We have one week left of preschool and then on to Kindergarten.  So here are all of the portraits Corbin took during his time at preschool.

I will have to say I’m going to miss these PreK pictures.  The company that comes to their school to take these do an amazing job for school pictures!

Spring 2015

Do you have a favorite?

Do you think he’s changed much?

I love the first fall and last spring pictures.  They are all great, but those steal my heart.

I don’t think he’s changed a lot, but you can definitely tell he looks like a little boy by the last pictures and lost what little “baby” look he had left at the beginning.

Lost It

The big event happened this afternoon!

Corbin lost his FIRST tooth.

It was so loose he was just wiggling it with his tongue and out it fell. 

For awhile he was a little weirded out by the gap he had in his mouth, but he soon became used to it and every thing’s good.

Now we are awaiting to see if the tooth fairy will come tonight!  (I heard she probably will come and most likely leave $1.00…but that’s just hearsay.)

Late Night

Friday Corbin had a friend over to play.  These boys cracked me up!  They were nonstop balls of energy, so much fun!

Then late Friday afternoon Chris and I dropped Corbin off with the grandparents and headed up to see Kati.

Kati joined a college improv group this year and we had yet to make it up to watch a performance.  So, this was the night we were going.

People, it STARTED at 8:00! 

We made our 2 hour drive in good time and stopped for supper.  And then headed over to the theater.  I had no idea what to expect.  I was blown away by the talent and creativity of this group.

It was an hour long show with multiple sets of skits like SNL.

 

We really enjoyed going and loved surprising Kati with our appearance.

After the show ended we grabbed some ice cream and had a chance to chit chat.  But by the time 10:15 rolled around we knew we needed to hit the road.

With pop in hand, Chris and I made the 2.5 hour drive home and fell into bed exhausted.  We are too old for late nights! 

The rest of the weekend was filled with soccer and mother’s day fun.

Here are some questions Corbin filled out about me at school.

Ants in my…

Ants in my…house! 

We have an ant farm.

Correction: Corbin has an ant farm that he got for his birthday and his live ants arrived today.

There was an air of frenzy and excitement that was palpable as we were preparing the ant farm.  Corbin had been waiting for weeks for these ants to arrive and he was beyond happy when they came.

The ant farm had to be prepared before the army of insects could live there.

There’s a tiny slot at the top where the sand had to be meticulously poured.  It felt like it was one grain at a time going in; which is why Corbin and Daddy were doing this part.

While the sand was being poured the ants were chilling out (literally) in the refrigerator.  This puts the ants into a calm state so that they were easily poured into their new home.

Corbin is obviously thrilled to be getting them out.

Here go the ants into the farm…. 

and there went some ants out of the farm.

If you think the slot was tiny for sand, it was obviously a bit more difficult to pour the ants in without some spillage. 

Needless to say, I just stared at the ants laying on my counter knowing I was NOT going to scoop them up.  That’s again why Daddy was on the job

Then we sat and watched them as they woke up from their fridge induced coma. 

Corbin would announce when an ant was doing the “shiver wake up dance”. 

Pretty soon they were up staggering around and exploring their new home.

It was fascinating watching them work.

Today, they have made two tunnels and carried sand up to the top part of their farm. 

I know you are on the edge of your seats so I’ll be updating you with pictures of the changes every now and then.

Now don’t think this ant farming business is all fun and games.  These ants have to be watered every 2 days with a few drops of water AND have to be fed weekly 2-3 pinhead sized pieces of whatever food is laying around.  I know, it’s more work than you thought, isn’t it?  Just keep that in mind before you run out and get your own
