School Begins (in September)

I'm a little behind in catching up on my blogs. Just pretend this is September.

So in May and June we moved and Grandma moved in with us. We moved from Oceanside to Fallbrook. And we ended up in the Bonsall Union School District. Bonsall is this little town of 1,000 tucked between Oceanside and Fallbrook. Great town and a great school district. In Oceanside we had trouble getting Mary in a special ed preschool. But Bonsall has been wonderful and has a special ed teacher that is very knowledgeable about high functioning autism. So Mary is in a great mixed typical and special ed classroom. She may be able to be in a regular kindergarten next year. We'll see.

Here she is on her first day of school. She loves school and is doing very well. She's writing her name and mommy, daddy and Ronin and she's learned her alphabet.

It really has been that long!

So it's been since July! Well I'll do a few post to keep some chronological order.


In August we had the kids' birthday party. Since Mary is the 3rd and Ronin is the 25th, we had a party on the 13th. I think we might just do a party every other year.

It was an Angry Birds Party. Mary got an Angry Birds shirt and I had a cake made for her. It was pretty fun. And if you're not sure who the Angry Birds are click here.

Ronin turned 2 and Mary turned 4. You can see Roro's cake with the Bot from UmiZoomi on it and Mary's cake is the Angry Birds.

 We had pin the egg on the poster and lots of balloons.

  Here you see the toy room is a mess. But the kids had fun!

And here's Mary with some Angry Birds.

 

Here's everyone getting ready for the 4 pinata.

 So I think that the party was a success and Mary had been so excited about it. Next year I think we'll just go to Chuck E Cheese or maybe a quiet night at home with cake and ice cream. Or maybe just take the kids out to dinner and have someone else clean up the mess.
