It has lots of bounce houses and slides and a huge play structure too. The kids had a blast! </span></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family: Georgia;">There was an area for kids 4 and under only, which was awesome for Luke. He</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> climbed a big ladder and went down the slide and I just expected him to come running back around quickly. Well, he didn't, so I went up the slide. Little did I know, it was an obstacle course around the entire perimeter of the bounce house. I went through it expecting to find Luke stuck somewhere crying or something, but I got through the whole thing without finding him. As I went down another slide at the end, I was starting to stress out a little. Another parent saw me and asked if I was looking for a tiny guy with dark hair. Yep, that's Luke. Turns out he was already climbing back up the ladder for another go at it! :o) This kid is crazy!

I got to school yesterday and Dad, Mom, and Luke took me. First we played with toys. I played with kitchen, little people, magnets, and Noah. Then we had a snack- it was cereal. Then we read a story called "Mouse's First Day of School" which was kind of like EmJ's first day of school! We sang a song about a funny bear. We went outside and I played with a shovel and a bucket. Then we came inside and I colored my bear and then cut him out. I really liked cutting the top. After I was done with my bear I put it in my drawer with my name, EmJ Miller. My drawer is blue. Then we went to circle again and I sat on the 4 cloud (on the rug) because I'm 4 years old. Then I waited for Mom and Luke to pick me up. I had a really fun day! From, EmJ</span></em></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH6FBWVQM5I/AAAAAAAADlk/tHTQyY8mobY/s1600/preschool_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH6FBWVQM5I/AAAAAAAADlk/tHTQyY8mobY/s400/preschool_2.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><div align="center"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/32257857-6242172685481648795?l=themillerfam.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>marenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10911610578163501294noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32257857.post-17537091364989741222010-09-01T09:41:00.000-07:002010-09-01T09:41:39.489-07:00random pictures from the past few weeks...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_RPIBQ5I/AAAAAAAADkc/XdjdOd3RDlA/s1600/random_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_RPIBQ5I/AAAAAAAADkc/XdjdOd3RDlA/s400/random_1.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This is just one night before bed - EmJ's hair had been in "rope braids" and she (and Jeff) loved the way it looked all wavy and cute... so, we took some pictures!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_ZTRodSI/AAAAAAAADkk/NT0M2sfQuzo/s1600/random_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" ox="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_ZTRodSI/AAAAAAAADkk/NT0M2sfQuzo/s400/random_2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Daddy and his sweet girl</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_evQ1TzI/AAAAAAAADks/m5LXwEGXZKc/s1600/random_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_evQ1TzI/AAAAAAAADks/m5LXwEGXZKc/s400/random_3.jpg" width="286" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Luke is absolutely a walker now... and a runner half the time! :o)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_itpFlWI/AAAAAAAADk0/H7Pmu-I9K1k/s1600/random_4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="286" ox="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zk-RkL-ReY8/TH5_itpFlWI/AAAAAAAADk0/H7Pmu-I9K1k/s400/random_4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Ok, we all know Luke looks like Jeff... but especially with a basketball and his tongue sticking out... hahaha!!!
