Exhausting Saturday
What a day
Friday...it was Simon's pretend birthday celebration at school. I made dirt cups which they all enjoyed. It was also his "practice" day eating lunch at school in preparation for next year. After school we ventured to LaFleurs. Here is Simon and his "wife" as he calls her. But if you ask him about it he will deny it. So no mention of Alexis, ok?

Catching up
ok...so daily blogging isn't as easy as I thought it would be. This will be our week so far. Tuesday....We had our good friend Paige over along with Grandma Jo and Grandpa for dinner. It was so fun. Building a tent in the laundry room!!
Wednesday, still catching up!!
Spent the day with friends, fishing again at frog pond. I think 8 frogs, 5 fish and 1 turtle we found today. What fun. Everyone except Amy (including me) took a spill of some sort.
Sad day
Thursday, today. We found this tiny adorable little duckling that was abonded by his mom and siblings. He had a hurt leg and they left him behind. SImon and I decided we would rescue him and make him well and then set him free. We took him with us to school, showed all his friends and his teacher. His final instructions to me on the playground were..."mom, take care of my duck until I get home" I knew I was doomed. Well, sadly the tiny duck died. Here is a photo of him. We then had a ducky funeral with some of his friends. It was all good until Jackson dug him back up and was carrying him around!! Daddy and Simon found a good spot for him and reburied him tonight, next to the 3 dogs and 2 cats we already have buried in the back yard. Rest in peace.

Memorial Day
Today was spent at one of Simon's classmates houses. Alexandros invited the class over, first they have an indoor pool, so they all went swimming, then...they have a pond in the backyard..Simon caught the first fish after that they caught 7 total and 6 frogs. We came home to enjoy the rest of the day in the yard. We even helped dad set up our pool. Now, if the weather warms up and stays warm come swim anytime!! Hope your long weekend was full of fun!
Picnic
We spent the day at the Kermendy's. It was good friends, good food and good fun. The kids had such a great time together. Paige mastered the jump rope, jumping 30x before missing...that was the record!! Congrats Paige! Drew had fun just trying to keep up with the big kids. I have attached a photo of his feet at the end of the day. A sure sign fun was had! We are so happy they are not moving away!
Rene and Vanesa's birthday
Well, the long awaited Pump it up party was Saturday. It was so much fun. The kids ran and bounced and ran and bounced. What a place!! Happy 6 and 4 Rene and Vanesa! We love you
life is so busy
Where do the days go?? I try to blog everyday so you can all keep up with us, but at the end of the day, I am exhausted!! Lets see, we'll start with way back last Friday. It was our mom's and kid's Friday Fun Day. Some of us moms and kids from his class regularly get together to do a fun activity on Friday afternoons after school. Last Friday was no exception. We were all at the zoo. I have attached some photos of our trip. Who needs to see animals when you have your friends around to play with. It was a great day of fun.
Sunny day
Today was such a beautiful day, we spent the afternoon at Lannon quarry doing some fishing and hanging out with friends. Here is the group. 1 fish was caught, by Marcy!! It just felt great to be outside. The rest of day was spent at home with our good friend Rene.
Not a good idea
Ok.....don't try this at home!! Yesterday Randy and Simon climbed up to the TOP of the scaffolding!! Oh my. They called me on the cell phone and told me to come outside and see where they were...yikes. Yesterday was full of bittersweetness (is that a word?) Anyway, I graduated from MOPS. It was good, but sad that that season of my life is over. We are moving on to bigger and better things. Life is good.
Frog pond
Well, we finally made it to the much talked about "frog pond" We went with some good friends..it was all boy. They were so excited. 1 frog and 5 fish were caught. We were tormented by a big fish we labeled "dead eye" He looked like he had been hooked in the eye before but somehow escaped. Well...dirty dead eye would swim up close to the bait and then turn his nose up at it. He did this many times which was very frustrating to the boys would wanted to land a big one. It makes for a good fish story anyway. We have heard there are HUGE bullfrogs in this pond, so we will return!!
She's back!!
Well, after the long winter, Grandma Jo is finally back in town for 6 weeks. Simon was thrilled to see her and spent the afternoon catching up and playing. It is so good to have her back....we all miss her terribly.
haircut time.
