Toads

While cleaning out the window wells we found five toads!! We turned them loose in the garden but then the next day we found a snake and no toads. Sad. I would much rather have toads than snakes in my garden.

Preschool Graduation

Good grief ! When did Cora get so big and I get so old? I can't believe my little girl finished her first year of preschool. She's come such a long way in one year. She's learned how to be more comfortable in social situations, is showing quite the artistic streak and practically taught herself to read. It amazes me how easily she picks things up and how multi-talented she is.

The graduation was held in the same park so the kiddos got to run around like monkeys. Emmett also got to meet up with some of his old preschool buddies as well.

Dance Recital

Mrs. Marsha put on a recital for all of her classes. Cora's class did a piece from The Lion King - "I Can't Wait To Be King". All of the kids took it so seriously. And nothing like a bunch of 4 year-olds in tutus to score a 10 for cuteness.

Dairy Queen

It was flaming hot today so while running errands I took the kiddos to Dairy Queen. I had asked for a cup for Thatcher but some how ended up with a cone. Not so smart I let him have it. Cone + car =BAD. We had to wash the whole cover and he was rather sticky, but did he have the time of his life!

Last Swim Class

Cora loved to splash.

Emmett loved the springboard.

Thatcher loved the toys.

Healthy Kids Run #1

Look what's blooming in my back yard!

Emmett and Cora had the first of thier Healthy Kids Runs today. Cora wanted to run so bad that we let her even though she is too young for punch cards and prizes. Bummer! Funny that they all get "official" racing bibs with the same number one. And super cute that they are young enough to hold each other's hand without gagging.
