Memorial Day Water Fun






The kids were so worn out this weekend from the ultra-hot weather and an overabundance of outdoor activities (soccer, washing the cars, first boat trip of the season) that we set a new record for Earliest Bed Time ever....6:45pm, and not a minute too soon!! I guess that's what we get for jamming so much into the long weekend, but with such a wet and cold spring we are trying to take advantage of the warm weather as much as we can....but I guess it was a little more than they could handle!

Just one of the girls...




When Drew's favorite teacher started putting pigtails in the girls' hair at school, he was so jealous that he insisted he get pig-tails in his hair too! He was so proud of these pig-tails and wanted to keep them "forever", until of course the tears of pain started flowing when I took them out before bed!

Brian's Bday & Mother's Day





The highlight of our birthday/mother's day celebration was Drew's sudden fascination with Chloe's princess shoes and magic wand--we definitely plan to pull this picture out in 20 years to embarrass him fully!

Fun with Friends






Here are a few pics of the kids having fun with some of their friends this spring--from a sleepover with Josie to fun during our Flying Pig weekend, Chloe and Drew are really starting to love playing with other kids--and it gives us a break, so we love it too!
