Strawberry Picking
I got to accompany Finn on his preschool field trip to Tanaka Farms, where Finn ate his weight in strawberries.
December Little Things
We kicked off December with Blake’s birthday and our sweet old neighbor girls brought him a gift. He had a backyard movie night birthday party with a bunch of friends. I helped in the kindergarten STEM lab a few times a month. There were lots of high-tech activities to…
October Little Things
Here are a few things that happened in October, according to my phone. Crew settled right in to the kindergarten routine and he loved seeing so many friends from church at school. Sometimes we had picnics on early-out Wednesdays. Finn and I walked over to pick him up every day…
Halloween Activities
The boys think that the best part of October is having reasons to dress up in their costumes multiple times. First up was Blake and Nash’s Halloween piano recital. Next was the kindergarten parade. Finn had a party in preschool. Back at the elementary school, they had “Fall Activity Day.”…
Back to School
We were so excited to have three boys all at the same school this year. Blake, the big fifth grader, started his last year of elementary school, Crew started his first year of elementary school, and Nash fell right in the middle. Finn started preschool and was thrilled to have…
SeaWorld
Preschool SeaWorld field trip day is always a hit. Especially with shark guns. The guns didn’t last more than a day without breaking, thank you SeaWorld gift shop. At least we were amused by flamingos and dolphin shows. And you can’t beat that view of Mission Bay and the Pacific…
Spring According to My Phone
As usual, much of our on-the-go activities ended up on my phone camera roll. Finn tagged along for many baseball games and practices. Blake did an overnight sleep study to see if his large tonsils were obstructing his sleep and needed to be removed. Thankfully, the results determined he wouldn’t…
Preschool Graduation
Crew enjoyed water day on his last day of preschool. I stayed to volunteer and helped at the sand art and necklace making stations. After an adorable musical program, the preschoolers were promised popsicles. Finn finagled his way into getting a popsicle too. We adored Crew’s preschool and teacher and…
Maycember
The end of the school year is busier than December with all of the projects, parties and performances so I like to call it Maycember. Nash did a report on Albert Einstein. Blake had a strings performance. He carried that cello back and forth to school twice a week in…
Winter According to my Phone
It still amazes me that we can can sit outside and eat ice cream cones during the winter. Crew had an incentive program at preschool that we rewarded with an ice cream date every few months. Sometimes Finn got to tagalong too. “Wear a winter apparel item day” at preschool…
