WDP Spring Musical, Nana and Papa visit.

I got to go to Field Day at Conner's preschool this year. It was hot but we had lots of fun. Sidney joined us too. Conner waas so proud to have his little sister with him He would hold her hand in line and try to get her to participate. It was very sweet.




The musical was great as well. Conner really enjoys music and singing and it really showed. He was so cute.



Nana and Papa came up to visit shortly after school was out and we just had fun hanging out. We took a trip over to Mud Island. Why haven't we gone there before? It was sooo much fun and free!




The Fish family joined us. We had a picnic and then rode the trolley before heading home and crashing.



I treated Linlee and Nana to a pedicure while the others napped after we got home. That was fun too!!

Linlee's last days of Kindergarten

The last days of K were bittersweet. Kindergarten put on a production of "The Boy who Cried Wolf". Linlee had a speaking part as one of the villagers. She did great.


They have such a terrific class and group of kids. We loved it!



The last day of school was the bye-bye breakfast

followed by games







a movie and the farawell assembly. It was great to be able to participate. I was just fine until we were leaving. As I was walking down the hall it occurred to me that this would likely be the last time we were there and I just lost it. Parents and kids were just staring and wondering what in the world was wrong with me. I can't help it, I have always been sentimental and I love that school. I hate that we can't take it with us.

The Great Flood

Ok so when did a tornado warning mean that conditions are favorable for a tornado and not that one had actually been sighted? We had multiple tornado "warning" sirens over the course of this particular weekend. Annelise had slept over and at one point, all the kids ended up on the floor in our room. By the time the day was over, we had our emergency plan down pat. It was actually kind of fun for the kids to hang out in the bathroom.

What wasn't fun was seeing the new white water rafting exhibit that resulted in our back yard. Thank goodness for our new drainage system or we may have needed a raft to get out of the house.

Linlee and the Chocolate Factory

Linlee's class had a field trip to Dinstul's Chocolate factory. It was quite funny to see how many mom's volunteered to chaperone....

Here are the kids waiting to go in the candy store.

She's not excited at all..

They had some amazing truffles that somehow found there way to my house.

It was a great experience. There was a video on the history of chocolate and then a tour of the facility where we watched them making turtle candy and different treats. Of course there were samples.
Can we say 5 lb bar of chocolate!!

We had a great time!!
