Braves Win, Braves Win Aug 29, 2010

Sunday, we met my little sis and her hubbie for lunch and a Braves game...








They had skin cancer tent set up outside the stadium. I think their little awareness ribbon is so cute "See a Spot, Call your Doc"

Dog Days

Preschool

Well my little one took a big kid step this week...PRESCHOOL!!! He loved it...the 1st day. He cried the 2nd day...but only until I was out of sight. Yes he sang Rocky Top for his class today...and yes he assured his teacher that is not a Tennessee Fan but a major Georgia Tech Fan!

Recap: Got a lunch box to match his bookbag...

Had a "smock" fitting...which he was less than thrilled about. Are these still what they use? An old button up shirt turned backwards... This is what we used when I was little so it's probably a bit old school...oh well.

Sorry camera fogged up...

He was SO EXCITED!!!

Here we go...

He said "Look Mom, nobody hung their backpack under my name!" Heh heh heh...

I had to beg him for a hug...on the "hug rug". Snif Snif...but thats ok...Rock On Kid! Have Fun!

Washington DC Days 10.5 to 11

And in the wrap up...we went to seethe Braves vs Nationals...







Day 11...I wanted to get a pic here all week...at C and 3rd...cause well I call him ''C" and he is 3.

One last trip to The Capital...






And a little tour of the Library of Congress.

DC was awesome. We visited many many more museums than listed and the dining was awesome. The million pics didn't even cover the transportation lessons for CJ: shuttle buses, airplanes, taxi cars, Metros, moving sidewalks, 7 minute elevators, giant escalators, walking, walking, walking and that millions of people live without a car everyday. Hope to go back one day...when C is older.
