Last Day of School

Today was the last day of school for Leah. I can't believe that it is already here. It just seemed like yesterday that I was pulling up in the parking lot dropping her off for the first time. She didn't even care for the record. I don't think she really understands that she is not going back until the fall. I know she is going to miss Mrs. Karen and her friends. Next year she will be in a totally different part of the building in a 4 year old class room. Where does the time go? She has learned alot and we have been so blessed to have had 2 great teachers this year. Mrs. Ann took a new job at the first of the year, and she got a Mrs. Karen when she went back after Christmas. Even with the change it was a great year, and Leah has really enjoyed it, and I can only hope that she will have another great year starting in the fall. Yeah Leah!! Great job, you have made me some of the cutiest things that I will treasure forever!

Painting

I bought these little things last summer so the kids would have a fun craft to do one day. We just found them and are painting them. Todd decided to get in on the action. Of course he had to make his look like a CAT machine. Men and their toys, they never grow up. I do like the price of this one!! They were really concentrating on them. Even Todd. After a few minutes they were ready to move on to something else. How long can it take to paint a 2" figurine? Emma's is the pony. Leah's is the car. Todd's is... you know which one is Todd's.

Bike Ride

Last Sunday we decided to take a stroll through the neighborhood and get out of the house for a while. Leah had been sick all weekend and finally felt like doing something. She wanted to get on this bike that we got at the yard sale I had with some friends. It is the perfect size for her and she really enjoys riding it. I am thrilled because all she ever wanted to do before is push her baby stroller. We ended up at the park for a little while and they rode around the loop and played on the equipment. Well, I think we wore her out, because she came home and fell right to sleep and slept untill 8:15. She still went to bed around 9:00 and slept. It is amazing how you can sleep so much when you are not feeling all that great.

Triple coupons!!

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Harris Teeter tripled coupons. Well, you know what that means, I was there! Here is a picture of Leah after we left Harris Teeter the SECOND time on Thursday. How do you sleep like this? I guess if you are as tired as she was, you will sleep any way you can.

Side Note: This outfit that Leah has on was the outfit that Emma wore on her first day of Kindergarden. They sure do grow fast. I like it when Leah grows into Emma's clothes. I always brings back good memories.

Checking the Weather

When we woke up Mother's Day, it was pouring rain outside. I thought this was a cute picture of Emma and Eli checking the weather before we left for church. Yes indeed we needed the umbrella's, as many as we could find.

You Eat Carrots!!

Last Wednesday night we were getting in the van to come home from church, and the interior light was on. Leah asked us to cut it off. Emma asked to leave it on. Common problem around here. Both wanting something different. Well, we said why do we need the light on Emma? Because I am not buckled yet (we were still in the parking lot).
Leah: You can see with out the light!
Emma: No I can't!
Leah: Yes you can!
Emma: No I can't!
Leah: I can see fine with out the light!
Emma: I know you can because you eat CARROTS!
I thought Todd and I would die, we laughed so hard.

Muffins for Mom Donuts for Dad

Thursday morning Leah's school had a Muffins for Mom and Donuts for Dad breakfast. It was really cute. Leah made us the cutest stepping stone with her handprint on it. She made Daddy a footprint picture and Mama a handprint picture. I am going to put the stepping stone right next to the one that I have of Emma's little feet several years ago. Now I have a perfect set.
