Week in Review :)

Today I went to a Mother's Day ice cream social at Alex's preschool. Here he is giving me a present... homemade lavender perfume, homemade barrette and his hand print.

Yesterday was Mason's ice cream social and performance.

This was my mother's day present from Mason... a very fancy hat!

On Wednesday Paris' girl scout troop got to go to a fun swim birthday party for one of the girls. Paris is front and center-

We were lucky enough to have a very reasonably priced and highly skilled plumber come over to fix a leak in our kitchen sink.

The plumber also doubles as a skater...

...and stunt bike rider.

Earlier in the week during a rainy day we spent a few hours browsing through Toys R Us where an intense, pretend race broke out.

Spring Gardening - Part 2

On Monday we spent several hours out in our garden. Some of the seeds we planted a few weeks ago did not sprout so we replaced them with plants. Now we have carrots, tomatoes, corn, cucumber, green beans, strawberries and watermelon well on their way! Paris, Alex and Mason planted (and fertilized) it all and loved every minute of it.

Even though the sun was out it was windy and chilly - the kids ended up cuddling up in the lid of the sand box for a long break.

They quickly got too scrunched and opted for larger accomodations.

Kindergarten Career Night

Tonight the kindergarteners (all 80 of them) had a career parade and music program. Each student picked a career, dressed the part then was introduced to the audience as that career person. There were doctors, lawyers, astronauts, dancers, scientists, firemen etc... Paris wanted to be a yoga instructor :) After their introductions, each person walked down a fancy, lit up runway in front of huge crowd of parents. It was really cute! Turn up your volume on the first video and you might be able to hear Paris' introduction by her teacher.

Backyard pool party-

It was 95 degrees today -

Alex went on a field trip today with his preschool.

Is this what we do in our Easter dress?We had one more drop-in Easter visitor.
Bo, Omi and Liam

Omi made our entire yummy Easter dinner, including this delicious trifle (thanks for the recipe, Annie!).

The kids loved having their cousins (and Bo's girlfriend, Kiera) here!

We got a couple of fun swim sessions in with Uncle Mike.

Wrestlemania!

Heading to the park for an Easter egg hunt.

Meeting up with Jennifer and Patrick.

Alex LOVES Uncle Mike and spent most of the time attached to his hip.

A few random photos from our exciting (not) Spring Break week.

We have had a low key week, since we celebrated our real Spring Break last week with the Acoba family. Today we had a picnic at the park.Here is Mason sporting his new birthday outfit from Omi. He was strutting around in it and knew he looked good :)

Thoroughly enjoying Mason's bubble machine - a totally fun birthday present from the Acobas!

A scrappy looking crew first thing in the morning.
