KA Picnic

Jack had his end of the year picnic today and we all went over to the school to watch/participate and get some fresh air. Jack was excited to see us, so it was worth it. The kindergartners painted a rock--who would have ever thought of this, but what a great idea. They loved it and Jack was so proud of his painted rock. They also did an obstacle course and water balloon toss. Jack and his buddy were the second to last people standing in the water balloon toss. His face was priceless while catching and throwing the balloons. Then, the kids ate lunch and the ice cream truck came and they all got to pick out an ice cream treat. The girls played on the playground and swings, played with the big balls and watched the balloon toss. They loved the "ice ceem" truck.

The girls think they are big kids!

Love his face in this one!

Kate is finally starting to feel better after three days of high fevers

Jack picked a snow cone with a gum ball at the bottom (Is he his dad's child or what?!)

Avon Lake Memorial Day Parade

Jack's T-ball team was walking in the Memorial Day parade today, so I decided it could be fun for him to pass out candy and walk with his team, but since John is gone, I had to push the girls in the stroller to walk with him. Well, Jack had a good time even though it was pushing 90 degrees before the end of the parade at 10:30. The girls were great, even Kate, who has been a little under the weather the last two days. I am hoping her fever goes away. It always seems the kids get sick when I am by myself!

The roses are so beautiful right now. We also had our mulch done Saturday and it made a huge improvement on our yard!

Ready to walk! Look how big these girls are now...I remember when their legs didn't even come to the edge of the seat. Now their feet almost hit the foot pad.

Fink-Foos and Pitty Dresses

We have a busy week! Jack's picnic, sports day, last day of school and the girls have their preschool summer camp orientation. Then the Fraziers this weekend. Busy, busy, but it helps pass the days.

These cute dresses came from "Aunt Dewey" for their birthday. Early so they could wear them this summer. They think anything that is a tank is a "fink-foo" (swimsuit) so they kept telling me that today. Then would say, "No, pitty dress." They like to pick out their colors. Thanks Julie.

Ironically, later in the day, they wore a swimsuit that is actually a swim shirt on top and they couldn't quite grasp it was a swimsuit because it had sleeves.

T-ball

Yesterday, Jack has his first T-ball practice. He is part of the Oakland As. John helped coach the team and the girls wanted to watch Jack, so we did...for about 15 minutes. Then we walked over to the park. After the practice, John and Jack joined us for a little while. Then we grabbed lunch and came home.

After church, we had a cook-out with our two neighbors. It was such a nice evening and it really cooled off, so it was perfect to sit outside and visit/play. The girls made it to 9:30 before going to bed and Jack was a trooper and made it until we cleaned everything up around 11 PM. No one was up today until after 8! What a treat for us to sleep in! John left early this morning (no sleeping-in for him) for New York. The count down starts...until June 8th when he comes home.

Had to add these because of Elizabeth. She pulls up her shorts so high! I guess she is small enough that the shorts are always falling down. I kept telling her that these shorts won't fall down because it was attached to the top, but I don't think she understood.

My favoite boy (before he got his uniform, I dressed him in Red Sox gear!)

Anna loves the slide at this park!
