Busy Girl...

The last two weeks

have been crazy busy....lots of activities and lots of fun.  Caroline participated in Daisy's Planting Daisy's at school. 

Melanie, Caroline and Sienna

The Kindergarten classes all went on their very first field trip to Upland Hills Farm for the day....

We started out in the barn and the goats running around in the loft were the highlight of the trip!



My little group :) 

Caroline and Melanie

We ended the day with a hayride.  Very fun... thanks to our driver who thought speeding downhill was a super great idea.  



And here is a picture just for my Democrat Mother In Law.(Hi Lori!!)  My little artist drew Mr. Rawck Obawma in sidewalk chalk for Memorial Day. 

A gold medal for Caroline!  She has been waiting for this for a very long time. 

Dad and I are so proud of you sweetheart!  You were determined to earn this medal and you did it! 

Way to go!

XOXO 

And a picture that warms my heart.  "Dad want to go on a walk with me?" This has been

their after dinner ritual for the past few weeks. 



Of course I couldn't leave out a snippet about my Connor.  He continues to make me laugh with these funny ideas and experiments :)  His latest find...making a candle from an orange and olive oil.  Holy cow it works!!  (It burns for hours~good to know for the next time the power goes out!)

Only 7 more days until school lets out!  Can't wait!



It's beginning to look like.....

SUMMER!

The kids had a blast putting on their swim suits and spending the afternoon

at the Longo's pool yesterday!

A quick video of Connor...not too shabby after having only one day of practice!  

We had another whirlwind type of weekend.  Caroline and I, along with our friends Mia and Jaclyn went to the ballet to see The Wizard of OZ.  Once again the girls loved the  performance and are already planning another "Girls Day Out" to go back and see The Nutcracker.  I love being able to do these fun days with my special girl!  

Connor got some brand new wheels!  He has been asking for rollerblades for a few weeks now so Chris took him to pick out a pair (and some knee pads!)...he practiced in the garage all day yesterday and today he was out playing street hockey with the neighborhood crew :)  I LOVE that we have active boys on the street!  And, I love that these boys let anyone play (even kids that just got skates yesterday) and that they can be overheard encouraging each other and cheering for one another.  Thank God for good sportsmanship.

Caroline convinced Dad the she really needed a hula hoop.  She also convinced him that she needed the expensive one that lights up...

The other day my pretty little love asked me to take some pictures of her because Nana and Papa probably needed a new one.  She was also pretty sure that Papa would like something new for on his desk at work.  We had fun doing this "photoshoot"; the "posing" made me laugh!

 Just something that I want to remember.  I wrote Caroline a note and drew a little picture for her first day of kindergarten.  I didn't realise that it would then be expected that she get a note/picture EVERY DAY....here is one from last week and one of her favorite doodles :)

I've already dropped some hints that come first grade it might only be a little love note each day~it's kind of hard to come up with a new doodle every day!
