E: Yes, because God created me berry nice!<br />

She has had an amazing year of preschool and is beyond excited about going to kindergarten in August. I have always said I would not be one of those moms who cries on the first day of kindergarten but even now as I type this my eyes are a little misty.<br />
My sweet baby who entered the world a few weeks early and took the world by storm is no longer a baby. She is a "big, 4 and a half year old" as she will quickly inform you, who is quickly approaching her 5th birthday and the big milestone of kindergarten.<br />
<br />
I just want to hug her and kiss her and spend hours rocking her in the rocking chair because before to long she is going to be getting her driver's license!<br />

E responded, "I'm physically fit. All my bones fit in my body." Right you are my girl! I like your definition of being physically fit.The Cooleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401742601754742311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17127284.post-54945377559277401592013-05-23T17:14:00.001-05:002013-05-23T17:14:47.938-05:00E-ismsE keeps me on my toes. She is constantly saying something that makes me want to bust a gut. In the past few days she has said some really funny stuff. <br />
<br />
The other day I took E to Dunkin to get some donuts. As we were driving one of my favorite songs came on the radio, Good Morning by Mandisa. E and I both started dancing. While we were in the drive thru line I continued to dance and E says as serious as can be, "Mama, if you keep dancing like that your head is going to fall off and roll out the window." <br />
<br />
Fast-forward a few days...I was looking at a Dove chocolate catalog and E walked up. She said "if you are talking about sweets, now you are talking my love language."<br />

We used Kool Aid to dye our Easter eggs this year. We had fun watching the eggs change color and another plus of using the sugary drink to dye the eggs is that they smelled wonderful.<br /><br />The Cooleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401742601754742311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17127284.post-68269151739041161362013-02-08T10:05:00.005-06:002013-02-08T10:05:57.227-06:00Winter Wonderland<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I
am not a big fan of cold weather or snow, especially when it comes to
winter clothing. Gloves, coats, hats, snow boots, etc. make everyday
tasks more difficult than they already are. However, I must admit the
snow creates a beautiful winter wonderland. Yesterday and today I tried
to capture just a little bit of the beauty. Photos hardly do it
justice. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

However, I am not entirely ready to part with this blog since it has been the story of our lives for the past 8 years. <br />

Saturday, Daniel was gone to a conference and E and I were home trying to keep ourselves busy. I decided to take pictures throughout the morning to document our day.<br />

<br />
Me: Eleanor, you are not telling the truth. The Bible tells us that dishonesty is a sin. It says, you shall not lie. <br />
<br />
E: Mama, Jesus already died for our sins.<br />
<br />
Me: But that doesn't mean you should keep on sinning. <br />
<br />
Daddy: Yes Eleanor, that is correct but when we love Jesus we do not want to sin.<br />

Eleanor has spent the week at horse camp. A local riding place was holding a Vacation Bible School/Horse Camp and we decided to let E participate. This girl loves her some horseback riding. She has even started talking about taking riding lessons. It has been interesting to hear the things she has learned about horses while at camp. She can tell you all about how you can tell how a horse is feeling by the way it holds it ears (if they are flat back they are mad and will nip you) and she knows why they flick their tails (to rid themselves of flies) and she can tell you that their eyes are on the sides of their heads unlike ours. She was one of the youngest kids at camps and I would chuckle watching her try to mount the horse. Her very long almost 4 year old legs are still not long enough to reach the stirrups. I am looking forward to many more horseback rides in the years to come!The Cooleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401742601754742311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17127284.post-39832554210359760132012-06-26T07:13:00.002-05:002012-06-26T07:13:48.831-05:00Our Little Track Star<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last Wednesday was Eleanor's last day of Pre-K 3. She had a great year and loved her teachers and friends. Over the year E developed a love for letters and writing. She has also become quite the crafty little girl despite her mom's craft deficiencies. Eleanor loved to be the pledge helper and as her teacher's have told me she is quite the mother hen in the classroom. Her teachers also said she loves to help and was always willing to clean up (hmm, how come that doesn't happen at home?!?).The Cooleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401742601754742311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17127284.post-32654609031720982362012-05-17T07:08:00.001-05:002012-05-17T07:08:37.154-05:00Sweet Friends Swinging<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have spent the past 4 Easters with them and it has become such a fun tradition. Late in the afternoon Seth and Eleanor decided to have a tea party. Seth was trying to pour the tea and Eleanor objected by saying, "No Seth no, the lady pours the tea!" I so wish we would have captured that on video camera. The thing that made it even a little funnier was that both Seth and Eleanor had their shirts off. I tried to tell E that it was not ladylike to go around topless and she just laughed.The Cooleyshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00401742601754742311noreply@blogger.com0
