Back to School Part Two

Chase started his third year of preschool this morning.  That's right...we're on year three of preschool for Mr. Chase.  He is back to Joyful Noise this year (hooray!), and we celebrated yesterday with our traditional back to school festivities.

While our cupcakes were baking, we decided to read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and then paint some little caterpillar critters. 

The artwork.

The owl cupcakes.

(Pinterest...I love it!   Pretty much any good idea that I appear to have from now on can most likely be attributed to Pinterest.)

(Someone got their nose a little too close to the chocolate frosting.)

The night before school new pjs.

Here we are this morning, bright and early and ready for school!

This was sitting outside the preschool this morning...so adorable.

Chase was a little shy going in, but he got over it in a New York minute after he spotted a giant box of blocks.

I was so nervous to leave Chase this morning not knowing if he was going to have a good day or not.  I was DELIGHTED, THRILLED, ECSTATIC, OVER THE MOON, and DELIRIOUS WITH HAPPINESS when his teacher said he had a great day!  (I can tell that I am going to LOVE his preschool teachers this year...yay!!!)

Way to go, Chase Ryan!  Love you, big five year old!
