Preschool Spring Party

Lexi had her Spring Party today at preschool.  This is the first party since Nicholas started preschool that I have not attended the entire time.  I felt bad, but Claire needed to nap.  One of the nice things about being a stay-at-home mom is having the opportunity to be present for the kids, but with the addition of sweet little Claire, my time has been further divided.  Even though I know it's really not a big deal, I want to make sure each of my children grows up feeling like their mom was "there."  I have such great memories of my mom being around during my early years, and I want my kids to have those same memories.  Luckily, Lexi didn't seem to notice I wasn't there for the whole time.  Claire and I showed up for the last 30 minutes of school, but unfortunately, literally 5 minutes too late for the egg hunt. 

Lexi's too quick for me...I was trying to get a picture of her face painting
