Pre-School Graduation

On Tuesday, Cindy, Jack, and I drove to a local park to celebrate Evan's pre-school graduation. His class sang a graduation song to all the family members who were there, then each child received a diploma & posed for a photo with their teacher.

I packed a lunch for him & he got to eat with all of his friends at the end of the ceremony. I loved this little glimpse into what his Kindergarten year is going to look like: more independence, having lunch at school, and playing with his friends during recess.

Jack was sick & feverish more of the day, and he had a major melt down during the ceremony. After he calmed down he played on the playground for a bit & wanted to be pushed in the swing.

Look at his toothless grin! Love it :-)

With the exception of some annoying love bugs & Jack's melt down, it was a perfect celebration. I only have three months until he starts Kindergarten... my little boys are growing up way too fast.

Tomorrow marks the first day of summer vacation, and we have a guy from a pest control company coming out for an inspection. Cindy found an egg sac from a spider on our back patio, which was enough of a reason for me to make the call. It's probably not what Evan had in mind for his first day of vacation, but we have a lot of fun thing planned this week to make up for it.

Have a great week!

Mother's Day Tea

Evan's pre-school celebrated Mother's Day with a lovely Mother's Day Tea last week. Mark took the morning off from work to stay home with Jack, and I got to enjoy my time with Evan at his school.

The kids had a selection of songs to sing to the moms, followed by lemonade, powdered donuts, and animal crackers. Evan walked me around his classroom and showed me his art projects, the dramatic play center, and where he has circle time every morning. He was thrilled to give me a handmade place mat and a flower pin that I'm wearing in the photo. He was so sweet and loving... he kept smiling and giving me great big hugs. It was a wonderful morning together & one I will never forget.

Happy Mother's Day!

First Day of School Photos

Getting the kids ready and out the door on Monday was more rushed than I had hoped, but I did have a couple minutes to take photos before Evan's first day of school. He was being his typical shy, goofy, squirmy self, and getting my two boys to smile at the camera at the same time didn't happen, but I'm happy with the results.







We arrived a few minutes early, and I had time for a couple quick photos before I escorted Ev to his classroom. At least he smiled for this one :-)



I can hear Jack-Jack yelling at me from his crib, so I guess nap time (and quiet time) is over!
