First Grade Class Play

On Wednesday night, Patrick and Finn performed in their class' rendition of

Goldie Locks and The Three Bears, The Musical

A couple months back, their music teacher was looking for someone to make the prop - a pink house, and guess who volunteered?

Before the performance began, Ms. Faulhaber took a moment to thank Patrick, Finn AND Sully for making the beautiful house.

Here is the play!

BRAVO!!

Yesterday was Field Day at the elementary school. The boys were super excited for the day - they were loaded up with their swimsuits, water bottles, suntan lotion and a change of clothes, because boy did they get wet!

The class participated in all different activities included bean bag toss, water over/under, sack races, jump rope and more. (Sully even got in on the action!)

After 2.5 hours of outdoor play, the kids were wet and tired.

Sully gave all the kids popsicles before we said goodbye.

Patrick Lost his First Tooth

After patiently waiting for his loose tooth to fall out for 4 weeks, it finally happened!

Tonight, before bed, Patrick came down and showed me that his tooth was just kinda hanging there, and sure enough, one small tug and it was out - pain free.

Sweet Patrick has not played with it at all, he kept telling us that it would fall out when it was ready, and he was right.

Luckily, before Mom and Dad left for their trip, MJ made 3 beautiful tooth fairy pillows - in case that tooth decided to fall out. Perfect timing, Nannie!

The tooth is tucked into the pocket, on Patrick's bed, and ready for the tooth fairy!

Cub Scout Outing

Today our family went to the lake for the end of the year cubscout celebration. The Den hosted a BBQ for all the families on the dock with fishing and kayaking for everyone.

Sully fished for the first time

Patrick and Finn impressed me by being able to cast and reel all by themselves.

While they didn't catch anything, they had fun trying.

They waited patiently at the dock for their turn on the boats.

First, Patrick and Finn went out with Gill.

and boy, they went far!

Then, Sully had a turn!

It was a fun morning out on the lake, and while I did not fish OR boat, I loved watching all my guys.

Preschool Summer Break Week 1

With more than 2 full weeks before Patrick and Finn

get out of school for the summer, Sully and I had

his first week of summer vacation together.

On Tuesday, Sully road his bike to Noah's Art

and we met Emma for some art fun!

Wednesday we spent the day with Ashton.

First, we went to Squirrel Lake park for playtime with Drew and Evan.

These 4 super cool dudes had a blast throwing rocks into the lake

and rule the playground with their super heros.

Thursday, Sully and I took the train uptown to Imaginon.

We enjoyed storytime (with bubbles or course)

and then explored the new Storybook exhibit.

Sully climbed the beanstalk, like Jack...

and created his own storybook about a Giant.

We ended our visit with a puppet show!

After the boys got home from school, the Callow boys

joined us at the pool for swim and dinner time

(before the thunderstorm chased us back home!)

Friday started off with a wonderful breakfast at the elementary school

This breakfast was hosted by the staff for the parent volunteers and included performances by the choir.

Gill met us at breakfast, after finishing off with the hawk dads. It's certainly not the reason we help at the school, but the breakfast was very much appreciated.

After breakfast, Sully and I met Athena, Sebastian and Melissa at Cold Blooded Encounters.

Melissa and I had never been there before, but it promised reptile encounters, a zoo and nature center.

Maybe this picture will help explain, what WE encountered. That's right, Sully in the bathroom WITH TURTLES in the tub!!! We left laughing, it certainly was an experience. (sully announced: "This place freaks me out, I want to go" - and that about summed it up)
