We had a major pinhole leak in our kitchen, which seems to be our summer curse. After a whirlwind week of plumbers, field adjusters, and a water mitigation team in and out of our house, we decided to get out of town for a long weekend. Especially because our entire…
Blake wrapped up his elementary career. It went by so fast. The 5th graders had a special carnival day to celebrate their completion of elementary school. There was also a 5th grade promotion ceremony. It started at 8:30am and Blake lectured me before school on how I needed to get…
Crew went ahead and graduated from Kindergarten. There wasn’t a school-sponsored graduation, so some of the moms put together an after school graduation ceremony. This was the only year that Blake and Crew will be at the same school together. Kindergarten started later in the morning than the rest of…
Blake has spent his free time building “machines” since he was little. Building creations out of cardboard has been his latest passion. He rigged up a pinball machine. I don’t think he’ll ever grow out of building with k’nex. He also built a 3D temple after going for the first…
Blake and Nash had a piano recital. Blake did his 5th grade “wax museum” report on John Adams. Finn wrapped up preschool by watching a caterpillar transform into a butterfly. I got to join him for a special Mother’s Day breakfast. And then go straight to watch Crew’s kindergarten performance….
Today was my baby’s last day of preschool. I didn’t cry, but I definitely felt the heavy weight of never having another preschooler. They performed a darling graduation program and Finn was hilariously animated during “Good Ship Lollipop.” Miss AnneMarie was the best teacher. Just like that, the end of…
We fit in as many Disney days as we could before the end of the school year. Nash’s trend this spring was to bring notebooks so he could draw sketches while he waited in lines. Gummy lifesavers were our favorite snack to have on hand, and they doubled as entertainment….
Baseball season is my favorite time of year. Crew met new friends and had a great coach pitch season on Team Storm.
I took Crew to Disneyland for a belated birthday date. After the third ride or so, he told me, “I’ve been waiting for this day for so long.” Later, he told me, “This is the best day of my life!” Disney days are so different with each of my boys…
The SeaWorld preschool field trip $6 admission day is too hard to pass on, so I took everyone out of school. It started out rough with whining, complaining, fighting and having different opinions on what to do. We eventually found our groove. I loved hearing a story from Blake and…
Sometimes Finn is sly enough to sneak his nie-night into Target. When you’re the baby, you get away with a lot. It’s a sad day when Finn’s beloved stuffed animal has to be washed. He stands on a stool next to the washing machine and watches it spin. I took…
