Here we go again!
OK, so we will try this again! I wanted to update "spring" now that summer is almost here (in my defence it really hasn't felt much like summer but for a few days here and there.). I will make this as quick as possible (for one thing I am working against the sound of the keys clicking-the kids are still sleeping and Olivia is going to get up at any moment, it's like a horror movie waiting for it to come!).
Krispy Kreme Tour
So, Olivia, Joseph and I got to go on a tour of Krispy Kreme with our MOMS group-that has to be one of the stickiest places on the the face of the earth!, but the kids had a great time and loved sampling everything!
The guy giving the tour was very nice and used language like "the doughnuts are taking a bath in the glaze.", I am sorry but that imagery was just very upsetting to me-yuck!
Olivia and Joseph waiting for the doughnuts to come...I am sure it felt like the longest wait ever!
Olivia showing off her new hat, Joseph didn't want to wear his.
Grandparents Day at Shady Lane
Every spring Shady Lane Elementary School celebrates Grandparents day and from what I hear it is a pretty big deal...they have a little breakfast for the grandparents and then the kids put on a show, then they all go back to the classroom to show off their work and room, the kids get to take their grandparent on a tour of the school...I'm not quite sure what else since I wasn't' there, but Grandma and Grandpa were!
We all walked Eileen to school since Olivia was having a hard time letting Grandma and Grandpa go with just Eileen.

Eileen on the stairs to the loft with her teacher Ms. Hoynacki
Since we felt bad for Olivia and Joseph that they didn't get to really see Grandma and Grandpa we took them out for gelato at one of our favorite local food joints, John Harbor's
When we got back to the house it was pouring out, so I ran over to school with an umbrella for Butch and Michele and ended up taking Eileen with me too (she really didn't want to be there without Grandma and Grandpa, and hey-they are the ones who called it Grandparents Day not Grandparents morning, right?). After Eileen changed (she got soaked from the rain) we all went out for lunch at Uno's, no pictures but really good food.
Mother's Day
We had a nice Mother's day this year, Mom and Dad came in and Bryan made us all an awesome brunch! We went for a little walk since it was kind of wet and rainy.
Eileen gave me a card and a picture she made at school, as well as 2 of her June B. Jones books and an information card about Samantha.
Olivia made me a very cute hand print bouquet and a very nice card.
Joseph (it was really from everyone) gave me the greatest coffee mug ever! It has a button to push that keeps the coffee from spilling-I LOVE it! I also got the Top Chef cookbook (lots of fun to look at but I haven't made anything from there yet) and an ice cream/frozen yogurt maker-lot of fun!
Joseph's first haircut (it lasted 2 days)
Since Bryan was tired of his son waking up looking like this, he decided that it was time for a hair cut!
Getting ready!
Bryan getting right in there with the clippers, Joseph sat so well! He was such a trooper, I (and Eileen) on the other hand ended up in tears.
The haircut didn't come out quite like we wanted so I was sad and Bryan was mad.
We just went and got it fixed the next day, I think we might become known as the "repair" family since this is the same place we went for Olivia's self given mullet! (Don't mind the peanut butter on Joseph's face, he was very hungry by the time we got home).
Getting Out!
Nana and Papa came in over Memorial Day weekend to watch the kids so Bryan and I could go to his cousin's wedding, we didn't get a picture of Bryan and I but I did get a nice one of Bryan and Butch.
Olivia's Last Day of Pre-School
Olivia had her last day of pre-school yesterday, she has grown so much this past year and her teacher has been wonderful-we are really going to miss her.
Olivia and Ms. Tanya
One of the kids in the class brought everyone snack in a special cup that they get to keep
Of course we had to celebrate Olivia's last day with some gelato, once again at our favorite spot!
I really will try to be better this summer, we will see! Thanks for your patience!

Erin,
ReplyDeleteYou know I give you a lot of credit for keeping this family log of your young family! I love seeing everyone. You give your kids such fun activities, and they will pass on these traditions to the next generation after them!
I wanted to thank you for the notecard you sent to Amy for my retirement album. It made me smile. Have a fun summer, hopefully you won't get water damage, and keep on bloggin!
