Hadley's swimming party

Hadley's class had a pool party to celebrate the end of school. It was controlled chaos but everyone had fun and Hadley loves to swim so it was a good time for her.

100 Book Club Celebration

Hadley and her friend Lynn

Hadley and Mrs. Anderson

Hadley's class had a celebration for reading 100 books over the course of the year. Her teacher presented them with a certificate and a new book. She actually read a lot more they just stopped counting at 100. She had such a great year and her teacher, Mrs Anderson, was awesome! Hadley is a very good student and stays very focused on her work while she is at school ( of course when she is at home it is a different story!). She is also very social and outgoing and I think she knows everyone at the school!

Splash Pad

Brett has been waiting for the Splash Pad at our YMCA to open. They have had a sign up for a few weeks announcing the opening date and he asked me every time we were in there if it was open yet. Finally we were able to go this week. The "big" kids were still in school so I just took Brett and Whit. Brett loved it but Whit was a little hesitant to get to close to the big water sprayers. Eventually he did get wet but most of the time he was wandering around trying to steal everyone else's snacks!

Breakfast on the front steps

Brett wanted to eat his breakfast on the front steps so he could watch the new sod going in. He was sad to see his pile of dirt go but he always enjoys watching yard work being done. He really wanted to help but the sod was to heavy for him to lift.

Ketchup

At our house ketchup is considered a necessity. It is the closest some of my kids get to a vegetable. Whit has found that ketchup is very tasty. He loves to dip things in it and suck the ketchup off and re-dip to get some more ketchup! He usually ends up wearing some too.

ICE!

I never knew ice could be sooooo entertaining. Whit loves to play with it and pour it from one plastic cup to another and eat a few pieces along the way. It will keep him busy for 20-30 minutes or until the ice melts.

Devine Dirt

We are in the process of re-sodding a portion of our front yard which means another big pile of dirt! Brett was in heaven and couldn't believe his good fortune. He spent all Friday evening playing in it and was very disappointed when it was spread out over the yard on Saturday. Kevin has promised to get him some more soon- Goody- more dirt to track through the house.
