Mother’s Day

Mommy had a nice day hanging out with her 3 babies!  Being a mom is hard, but definitely worth it.  Mommy just melts when Katelyn says in her sweet little voice, “I love you Mommy!” Unfortunately, Joseph has already reached the age where he says it is “yucky” to tell your mom that you love her.  That’s okay though because Mommy knows that he does love her.  Silly Audrey is just fun to be around.  She’s so playful and cute making her a favorite with teachers and just about everyone she comes in contact with.  These guys can be incredibly infuriating at times, but Mommy loves them!  Aren’t they just so cute?

Sports Day

The kids both had sports days last week.  The preschool age kids had their Sports Day on Thursday.  Grades Kg thru 5th grade had their Sports Day on Friday.  Sports Day is just for fun!  The kids get to participate in a variety of activities.  At the end, each kid gets a popsicle and the principle grills hot dogs for everyone. The younger kids also got medals.  Mommy and Katelyn went up to school both mornings to watch Joseph and Audrey. 

Thursday morning, Mommy and Daddy both went up to school to participate in the 1st grade Transportation celebration. The kids had been working on transportation projects that they got to share with the parents and the rest of the kids at the school.  Joseph’s transportation project was called the “Amphibious Jet,”  It was a vehicle that he said could go underwater like a submarine, on land like a car, and in the air, like a plane.  He put a propeller on it and a fish-like tail plus “jet” engines.  There were all sorts of ideas that the kids came up with. 

Joseph was upset that Mommy and Daddy couldn’t stay very long.  Daddy had to run off to work, and Mommy wanted to go watch Audrey participate in Sports Day.  Audrey looked like she was having a great time.  One of the dads that was helping out commented that Audrey was very athletic.  She did look like she was really enjoying the activities.  Some of the other kids were starting to look tired and worn out before all the activities had been completed. Daddy and Mommy joke how our kids are like the Energizer Bunny…they just keep on going!

Friday morning was busy for Mommy too.  The driver said he couldn’t come in so Mommy and Katelyn had to quickly find someone to get a ride with since the activities started at 7:45am.  Mommy was also asked to help out in the preschool class with their cooking activity so it was a busy morning.  Mommy and Katelyn watched Joseph do a few activities before we had to go do the cooking class at 8:30am.  Mommy helped the kids make rice crispie treats.  At around 9:30am, Mommy and Katelyn went back to watch Joseph participate in a few more activities. 

The last couple of days have been busy but fun!
