End Of School

Well today is the last day of school for summer vacation. The kids were excited. Not much will change for Palin but more play time at school and then she will move up to the Pre K class in August. I made them wear the same clothes as the first day of school so I could compare pictures. THe ones on the left are from today and the ones on the right are from last August. Cash does not look like he has changed much, but you can tell Palin looks older and her hair has grown.                                                                                               

Palin has also gotten taller, what she wore as a dress last year in August had to be worn as a shirt with shorts this morning. It came to her knees last time (see the picture below) and today it barely covered her behind.

I did not have much luck getting their picture together this morning. Getting both of them to look normal and at the camera at the same time is harder than one might think. This is the best on out of the 40 that I took this morning.  

Mud Puddles

 Monday was a holiday for Toby and Me. Cash was supposed to be out of school but due to too many ice days he had to go to school. They did have a field trip planned for them. After the field trip we Cash up early from school and took him home to help plant flowers and play. It has been raining for 3 days and finally quit.

 The kids asked if they could make a mud puddle. They dumped wheelbarrows full of water into a puddle until they created the mud puddle to play in. Palin had the best time and had so much fun. Cash like jumping over the puddle but was not excited about jumping in it.

After the mud puddle we headed to a friends house for a cookout.

Cash's Choir Concert

Last Tuesday Cash's music class at school at their end of year program. Cash had a speaking part in it. So he was pretty excited. He had been practicing his lines all week. They sang 5 songs suring the concert. Its hard to see Cash but he is on the front row in the middle in a blue shirt.

Herman Park

We headed to Houston this weekend. Toby and I had several things to attend with friends so my parents took the kids for the day on Saturday. They headed out Saturday morning and took them downtown Houston to Herman Park. They rode the train all around the park.The train goes by the Imax, Zoo and by the park.

At the park they have paddle boats tht you rent and take out on the lake. Both kids had a blast. Palin wanted to paddle hers however her legs were a little too short.

 Mom mention Fuddruckers hamburgers to Cash and he was sold that was here he wanted to go for dinner. Added bonus if you are a kids, they give you a cookie before you leave.  As usual you can not get the two of them to take a picture  and both look normal. So here is moms attempt at taking their picture.

The kids have been waiting the last couple of weeks to go swimming.... they were excited to hit the water when they got back from Houston that afternoon.

We had a quick weekend but the kids had a great time as normal did not stop while we were there.

Mother's Day Breakfast with Palin

This morning before work was Palin's monther day breakfast at her school. We left a little early this morning so that I had time to sit and eat Breakfast with her. She was excited that I was going with her. After breakfast you got to go to her room and she had a bunch of things that she has made for Mother's day that I got. One was her foot as a flower, and she was really excited about it.

Date day with Palin

Palin has dance on Saturdays morning, and this is our time on Saturdays without the boys, Palin's dance rule is that NO BOYS are allowed to go.  This Saturday she picked her outfit our herself, and I found out that when Dance class was over that she wore her sunglasses all through class.  I see Hollywood calling her name!

After class she wanted to go to lunch at Sonic. However she was very clear that she wanted to eat outside at the table there. All the car hops at Sonic got a kick out of her because she did not want to change clothes before we went .She wanted to wear her tutu there.

At the end of dance class her teacher gave each girl a coloring sheet to go home and color so that they can return it to her next week. This color sheet will be placed on her chair backstage at her recital that is coming up in a few weeks. We went and bought some glitter to make hers blingy. Each girl also had to say why they loved to dance. Palin's response, " It Makes me happy and I get to wear Tutus".

Cash came home on Friday with an award that he won the Hockey Dribble Knockout Champion. The award was given in PE, he beat all the other kids to win the award in the 1st grade! He was pretty excited about it.
