Sorry!
Bryan was on vacation last week and we were busy! We began the week with 3 sick kids, 3 cases of pink eye and Eileen had an ear infection! We also had lots of projects around the house to complete as well as fun activities to fit in!
I had to put these pictures of Joseph in. He was having so much fun playing with the vanity while the girls were still sleeping.

On Wednesday Eileen had her final school trip to the zoo. She had such a good time running around with her girl friends! They were so excited to read all about the different animals and find the birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.

Shopping for Dad!
Bryan Olivia and Joseph met us at the zoo and rather than take the bus home we headed over to the mall. We still had to get our end of the year gift for Eileen's teacher and Bryan needed a new tie for the wedding we would attend on Saturday. Once we got there he needed to look for a new shirt, coat, anything that was on sale! Eileen had her mind made up to get her teacher a ring holder (she brought hers in for show and tell and her teacher loved it and told Eileen that she would love to have one of these too!), I know these things are everywhere but for the life of me that day I could not fine one! Finally 3 stores later we found ONE, not my favorite but Eileen liked it. Needless to say after a morning at the zoo and an afternoon at the mall the kids had had enough. Joseph wanted out of the stroller and Eileen wanted in!
Last day of School
Thursday was Eileen's last day of pre-school. Eileen loves school and was sad to have her last day come so soon.
Graduation
That afternoon we all returned to school early to pick her up from school and attend her graduation. It was very cute, the teacher reviewed all the things the children had learned that year, and then they sang a song from each unit. Following the songs the children each received a diploma. Olivia and Joseph were very good through the whole thing, Bryan on the other hand thought it was way to long and hot, I did have to remind him that he just attended the shortest and most exciting graduation of the parenthood years.


Putting up the Play Set
During the week Bryan also had to work on setting up the play set! He was able to get a rototiller and till the entire area, level it, put in a weed barrier and then the assembly began!

Friday
On Friday we went to Eileen's new school for next year. They have "Kindergarten Round-Up", all of the entering students and parents come for a meeting and the children see the classroom and meet the teachers. Eileen was very excited and when it was done and we were on our way home she told me that she knows where the bathrooms are now. After the "round-up" we were off to Madison. We went in for a very short stay to see Jonathan and Sigan and a surprise visit from Mike, Jen, and Gwendolyn. It was short (we left the next morning) but it was so great to see everyone!

Saturday morning we got up early an made our way back to "The Falls", we had a wedding that afternoon and Auntie Krista was nice enough to come stay with the kids so we could stay overnight at the hotel. It was a beautiful wedding (and very nice to be in church without having to worry about snacks, and books and anytime we heard a noise wondering if it was one of ours!).
Happy Memorial Day!
Monday we met our friends and went to the parade and then back to their house for lunch. Well lunch turned into dinner and before you know it we had spent the whole day there! The kids had such a great time playing together. Of course I brought the camera but didn't think to get it out of the diaper bag!
We had a great week, but it was busy! It will be nice to just have some quite time at home (yea, right!).
