This is all from since we got back home from Virginia Beach to the day before Mother’s Day. I never feel like I do a lot during the week or on the weekends but then I look at the pictures and somehow I have plenty to show for ourselves. If I have not done anything else, at least this is one more week we are all alive and no broken bones. Thank GOD that we have that going for us!
Bradley came down with strep throat and missed his first baseball practice the Monday after we got home. By Wednesday he was better in time for team pictures. I put one in my PL book but I do not feel the need to document these random kids twice. He does not have anyone from his class on his team but there is a handful in the league he will play against. Here is my handsome ball player sporting his new number 14 for the Astro’s.
Gavin caught using real tools on his own. He just helps himself to the tool bag. No big deal.
The weather has been really nice so we have been enjoying eating dinner on the back porch. Only chips because it was Mexican night.
That was about all for that week, just baseball. That Sunday we had a family going away party to go to for ‘Team Taylor’ our good Air Force friends that will be moving out to Las Vegas where we used to be stationed before NC. Here is all the kids. The military can make a lot of offspring that’s for sure.
The ladies and Courtenay at the top right.
The three amigos. Bradley and Wyatt will definitely miss James.
On Monday started Teacher Appreciation week. A class mom asked for full participation for every day of the week. They were seemingly small things but when you add my “over doing it” mind set it made for a hectic week. It may even look small but it takes time to create these things with everything else I have to do.
Tuesday for Gavin.
Tuesday for Bradley
Wednesday morning I woke up extra early and took Bradley and Alex with their bikes for “National Bike to School Day.” They loved it so much. Bradley even exclaimed “This is so awesome” as I drove by and snapped his picture.
Wednesday for Bradley.
After that I got dolled up for a tea with my MOPS Steering Team Ladies. We were treated for all our hard work this year.
We stopped by the park before naps that Wednesday too.
We always have time for mid week brownies or some sort of treat.
By that night I was totally like “Is it Friday and 5 o’clock somewhere?” No seriously, this is my Stawberita while packing lunches late at night. Let’s just say it may have taken me a little longer but at this point I definitely lost steam in keeping track of Teacher Appreciation gifts. We did them, just no documentation.
Thursday who knows what I was doing while Gavin was at preschool but can I say this little man is a monster to shop with these days. I had to buy him this balloon just to shut him up in the Dollar Store. Then we get in the car and he is al, look at me I am an adorable happy sweet boy. Whatever, Easton!
Bradley has done so well in school this year. He was doing double addition in his head. He used to have to mark dots and count them. I couldn’t believe he was doing them in his head because I still do that! I have to look at the number on the paper and visualize dots ( yes, I completely realize I am an idiot. I have lost so many brain cells parenting ) and I am pretty sure that is how he was getting his answers. He is already counting down the days until school is out and he will be a 1st grader!!
Friday evening we went to the park. Here is Gavin kicking it to “I got twenty dollars in my pocket and I'm gonna pop some tags…”
Court & Me Manda & Me
That night I hosted a going away party for Courtenay. This one was a surprise and for just the gals. I am mad at myself for forgetting my big camera and even with my phone I did not take pictures. I had cute cupcakes and made tags with different sayings in each of them and even a little cupcake flag banner. She took them all as momentos.
Then on Saturday we just scootered around town.
