"My Book About Me"

Today was the last program of the year for Will's Preschool(pictures to come later). After the program - the kids did a FANTASTIC job - we went to Will's classroom to collect him and his papers for the week. As Will was gathering his papers and saying his good-byes, his teacher looked at me and said "he had some really interesting answers for his book" Hmmmm, I thought, I wonder what that means!
As Scott and I looked through his book, we couldn't help but smile and than laugh. I think his "book" tells about a pretty AWESOME little boy(of course I am not biased at all!). Book Review:
William Kirby Bing Wine, age 4.
The best thing about me: love my family
The type of animal I would like to be: Lion
My favorite flavor of ice cream: Strawberry
If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to: the beach
(and Mommy's favorite question/answer of all) When I grow up, I want to be a: husband!

There you have it, all the important facts about Will you never knew! Preschool is great, and almost 5 is a wonderful age! It is hard to believe that Will will be 5 in just three weeks! I can just begin to see high school peaking up over the horizon!!! Lord, please don't ever let me forget to enjoy ever single moment of everyday of his life, for it is flying by way too quickly!

"My Adventures with Jack"

Soon after returning to preschool in January, Will's class was told that they would each be taking a turn bringing home the class bunny! Now this class bunny is the perfect pet, because you see, he is stuffed! Along with Jack comes a book in which each child is to record the adventures they have with Jack.

Will has been very patient in waiting for his turn to bring Jack home, until the last two weeks. Last week, he sadly announced "I'm going to be last to bring Jack home, Mommy". Well, he was right, but his turn did finally come this weekend. We have had Jack the bunny as a house guest all weekend and we have tried our best to provide him with a few adventures along the way! He was read to, fed, cuddled, introduced to the cats, helped feed the cows, taken to church and taught the game of Duck Duck Goose. Not bad for a little bunny I'd say. Sadly Jack returns to preschool tomorrow! Thankfully all in one piece and still stuffed!!!

THE Day has finally arrived!

Yes, Tuesday was an exciting day for Ashley - she passed her learner's driving test and in the eyes of the state of VA is qualified to be behind the wheel of a vehicle - at least with a licensed driver by her side! When she was home on Thursday, she asked if she could drive me to work, and after some serious prayer, I said yes. After all, it was only her third time driving! I bravely strapped Will and myself into the seat belts and tried to convince myself that it wasn't going to be too bad!!!

I am sure, that if I had looked in the mirror, I would have seen my mother's face staring back at me!!! I remember the first times of driving with her and thinking that surely she was going to explode! Just seeing how nervous she was made me even more nervous and of course, I was not allowed to go over 35 miles per hour. So, despite my nervousness, I TRIED (I really did) to put on a relaxed face(I think I even managed to smile a few times!).

Ashley did pretty well, we made it safely and I have to say she remained calm in spite of my nervousness and Will's constant backseat driver instructions!!! I mean, he never stopped telling her what to do, and when and how to do it! I think she was just too excited about driving to let anything bother her(see the smiles below!).
