Bumble's First Day

     I finally found out yesterday that the stranger that drove Bumble to school must have got her there safely, because they dropped her off safely at 4:30!  It took FOREVER for 4:30 to get here.  The house was so strangely quiet while she was gone, but that all changed as soon as Bumble got home.  As soon as Bumble got off the bus she asked if she could go again tomorrow.  I said yes and she said she had so much fun and that she wanted to go every day.  Stinger was excited to see his "sissy" again and I only got asked about 5 times yesterday "when sissy coming home?" Bumble talked all afternoon and evening about her day.  She told me one girl cried a lot which Bumble couldn't believe because Kindergarten was so much fun and there was nothing to cry about.  She also said one boy thought it was funny to scream in peoples ears.  (Bumble doesn't have much tolerance for kids that do not listen and act immature!)

     Bumble was only gone about 7 hours yesterday, but I thought she looked and sounded different when she got off the bus.  I took another look at her and noticed that she lost something pretty important at school on the first day.  Can you tell what it is??

This is when she left in the morning on her first day...

 and here she is on her second day...

Yes, she lost her tooth at school on the first day! Now she has no front teeth.  Bumble said it fell out when she was eating her lunch.  I asked her what she did with it and she said a teacher took it.  Bumble's teacher called last night to tell me that Bumble's tooth was on her desk and that she would give it to her tomorrow. She also said that Bumble was very well behaved and said she can tell that Bumble has "wonderful knowledge" as she put it.  It made me feel better knowing her teacher took the time out of her evening to call.  

As you can tell the day couldn't have gone any better for Bumble yesterday and I am glad she loves going to school.  That is why once again I let the stranger take her to school again this morning!  I have to say I have no worries today.  Bumble will be just fine!

    

A Bee Goes To Kindergarten

Look who starts Kindergarten today!...

It is Bumble!  She is so excited to go and did not appear to be nervous at all!  She lined up some of her animals on the porch so they could watch her get on the bus...

Bumble gave Stinger and I strict instructions on how to care for them today!  Speaking of Stinger here he is with his sister...

He is going to miss his best buddy.  Look Bumble, here comes the bus...

Have a great day at school, Bumble!  I can't wait to hear all about it when you get home.

P.S. I can't believe I let a complete stranger drive my 5 year old to school!  I don't even know if she got to her classroom, if she is hungry, if she has to use the bathroom, or if she is ok.  Oh well, I guess this is part of letting Bumble grow up!  

A Bee Turns Three!

Happy 3rd birthday to my little Stinger!!!  

He still didn't outgrow his "picture" face! 

 Oh well.  Maybe next year!...Here is Stinger opening his gifts with all of his cousins...

 Stinger LOVES his cousins, and he LOVES his presents...

So did everyone else!

Time really does fly by so quickly.  It seems like yesterday he was just my little baby...

Have a happy birthday Stinger!  Love you!

The Bee's Visit the "Land of Little Horses"

The Bee's flew down the road a ways to Gettysburg, PA today to visit the Land of Little Horses.  Bumble LOVES horses and really wanted to ride one.  Today was her day!  It was love at first sight...

While Bumble followed the horses around, all Stinger wanted to do was ride the pedal tractors.  If only I could "harness" some of his energy!

 We went to the arena show where the horses performed tricks and even solved math problems.  They had a barrel rolling goat and a piano playing pig!  Here Bumble is posing with a white horse.  She informed us today that WHEN we buy her a horse it is to be white!

I don't ever foresee the Bee's EVER buying a horse, but we will let her dream!  One of the highlights on this visit was the pony rides.  Here is Stinger on his pony...

and here is what Bumble has been waiting for all summer...

                                                             Looking good, Bumble!

 Then we had a little fun with photos...

We petted and fed some animals...

and had some fun at the gift shop...

Hey Cowboy Stinger, stop "horsin" around!  I love your cheesy picture face, but hopefully you will outgrow it soon and I will be able to see your eyes again in photos!
