Slacker

Ok so time has just gotten away from me, I meant to post this at the beginning of the month and here it is the 13th already!

My nieces wanted to watch the boys for a few days when they got out of school so we took them up on Thursday and went to pick them up today. I think they had a great time but were ready to be home! I enjoyed the break! I partly felt bad for being so glad to have the break, but since we spend 24/7 together I think it is good for all of us! Maybe in a few weeks we will go and spend a few days with Grandma and Grandpa.

Laundry Helper

Alex LOVES to help with the laundry, I think it's great and I hope he continues to like to help with laundry. (Some how I doubt it ha ha ha) I snapped a picture of him the other day. When I was looking at the pictures after I uploaded them on the computer I realized something. I had done a scrapbook page a few years ago on the very same thing...

Graduation

I have mentioned it before but Alex hates hats so I was interested to see how he did with the graduation hat. He did exactly what I though he would do, refused to put it on!

It was late and Zach was ready for bed if you can't tell!

We did manage to get him to put it on long enough to get a picture.

He did so great during the program I was so proud of him. When they did a little song played on the bells Alex knew right when his color was coming up. He knew all of the nursery rhymes and all of their actions. He still has another year of preschool but I think he will enjoy it. I am worried about what I am going to do with him this summer I don't think he has realized that he wont go back to preschool until the fall.

Crazy

The other night Shawn went out to turn out sprinklers on for the season and check to make sure they were all working. The kids were just restless it was the time of night where it's too early to put them to bed but they are tired so they are just grumpy. So I decided what the heck I will take them outside (knowing full well they would probably get wet) Zach is completely crazy and has no fear of the water spraying him. He was running up and down our sidewalk just giggling. I had to run next to him to make sure he didn't run out in the road so I was getting wet as well but he was having so much fun that I just had to let him go.

I must have been a little restless myself that day because earlier in the day I had finished working and was debating what to start on and I decided that I wanted to walk up and get Alex from preschool. So I messaged my friend since she was driving the kids this week and told her my thought, and she confirmed that I was crazy but she was up for it so we took the two little kids and walked up to the preschool. It's probably not even a full mile one way but it was a nice walk but a bit warm (this was Monday afternoon).

Get it?

It's amazing (and scary) the things kids pick up from other kids. Alex has picked up "Get it?" He will say it when he thinks he is telling a joke but he pretty much will say it after anything. Like this morning he said "poka-dots, get it? ha ha ha" It's extra funny because he does this goofy laugh after he says it.


On Saturday we went to Shawn's parents after eating we went to the park and Zachary just walked and walked and walked, in fact he walked so much that he got a blister on his foot. It's partly my fault he was in his "crocs" and he didn't have any socks on (because he HATES socks) I had brought a pair of socks for him but just didn't think about putting them on. Oh well he had fun and it didn't seem to bother him.
