Kathleen got an award at school this week. Her teacher said that she always can count on Kathleen to do her best work. Man, she sure is different at home.
Kathleen and Brandon started T-Ball this week. There was a huge storm during Brandon's practice time, so practice was canceled. You will have to stay tuned for pics of him.
Ryan has been playing on an old man soccer team. They are pretty cute and seem to have a lot of fun, even if they aren't the best players in the world.
Spring, our awesome neighbor, made us lolipop cookies. The kids LOVED them. Brandon wasn't sure if he should lick it or bite it.
We babysat a friend named Nathan the other day. I was changing Cody's diaper, and when I got back, I found them snuggled up like this.
Kathleen is getting ready for the big dance recital. Stay tuned for pics of that as well.
Kathleen also had a kindergarten performance at school. My favorite song was "First Grade, First Grade" sung to the tune of "New York, New York."
Our mommy duck had her chicks. Aren't they cute? She takes them for walks around the yard all through the day. The kids and I have been thoroughly enjoying it.
A boy playdate:
So all in all, it has been a super crazy week. Someone should have warned me what the last few weeks of school would be like.
Here are the tball pictures of Brandon that I promised. Here he is running bases.
Hitting the ball (I am not sure what Ryan was aiming at for this one. He was probably chasing Cody or something at the same time).
Look at that arm!
Since it is now past Memorial Day weekend, our pool is officially open.
Kathleen and Cody had this fun game where she would throw a ball on to the trampoline and he would chase it down and throw it off. They both seemed to think it was super fun.
Cody got a little tired while we were doing yard work and plopped himself down on this shrub. I guess it was the perfect size chair.
Ryan decided it was time for the kids to learn how to do a three-legged race. He first tied me to him, so we could show them how it was done. Then he let them try.
Then they all tried.
We had a KFC picnic at the park for Memorial day. It was really nice weather, until dinner when we got a massive thunder storm with some of the most rain I have ever seen in Boise. It overflowed our rain gutters and was just pouring off our roof. Then hail and all that fun stuff followed. We ate dinner with all the curtains wide open so we could watch from the table. Here are pics from the park:
