Concerts & Field Day

The big kids have both had spring concerts at school. They have been SUPER cute!

Peter's was about "Bugs"- cute songs with hand fun motions. They've both been really excited and enjoyed singing the songs around the house.

Here is Peter, in the center of the top row.

Lily's was cute kindergarten type songs-

'just because I'm shorter than a grown up'

'big dreams'

'everyone has something they can do'

It has been really sweet for me to feel like I know all of the kids in Lily's class this year.

I am looking forward to that in Peter's next year!

Lily is on the front row, third from the left.

And I remembered to take my real camera & zoom to Lily's- so here is the cute little love!

Field Day was last week. I hadn't made it to Peter's last year because I was in the hospital after Ben's birth. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was lots of fun and HOT! Hot! HOT!

Dancing for the opening song- Peter has a really cool teacher- love him.

1st Grade's Turn- Go Peter!

Again, love his teacher- so loving towards his kids.

Tug of War

Goo & Pop were so generous & spent a lot of the day with us!

Peter's Class

Later on the Blacktop- it was HOT! HOT! HOT!

Lily's class in a pass the pig relay- it was looong & hot, have I mentioned it was hot?

But I really loved being there and seeing them.

ReHydration Station

And later in the afternoon, the final was a Omnikin Ball Game.

Whew, we went home hot and tired after a pit stop for milkshakes. It was a really fun day.

This guy was a good sport.

My parents were preparing for a wedding at their house so couldn't be at the river but convinced us to go anyway. I was hesitant without the service staff there (being honest- our parents serve us well & I appreciate, enjoy every minute of it) but it turned out to be such a nice weekend.

It was soo sooo nice to have a long weekend with just the 5 of us in a different location.

I know for all of us normal life certainly doesn't seem to allow much quality time together- with the older two away at school for nearly 8 hours a day and Mike away at work for 11 a day.

We stopped on the way down at a playground they love.

(these pics can serve as a 'before' for Ben's hair trimming. There are almost always haircuts at the river.)

We enjoyed leisurely days on the dock & a ride on Paw's boat. It was also a good playpen for Ben. There has been a little grumpiness- with teething, and reaching the stage of desiring something but not having the speech to match it.
