Dad's Day At Preschool - February 6, 2010

Our preschool holds and annual Dad's Day which is essentially an indoor carnival for dads and kids. This year the even was held on 2/6/2010 with a theme of Travel. There were lots of cars, trains and planes.

Making a key chain craft with Miss Beth.

Bouncing is the best transportation. And this picture says it all.

Adley had a wonderful time.
Next time we'll work on pictures of Daddy and Daughter together.

Slip N Slide N Summer

Let me tell you what I think of Squash.

"I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it. I won't like it."

"TOLD YOU!"

Pbbbbbbb!

Cough...sputter...GAG!

"Finally. That was a close one."

"I'm just glad somebody understands me..."

Thank you Miss Beth and Miss Chris!

"We can't believe the school year is over. Adley had a great time every week and learned so much. Chris and I have really enjoyed Adley. We love her maturity and leadership. These are great qualities for preschool. Happy Summer!"

Morton Arboretum - May 2010

On Wednesday we met friends Erin, Ethan and Miles for a day at the Morton Arboretum. We explored the new steel structure exhibit, gathered pine cones (catch and release), visited every tree house, had lunch at the cafe, played on the playground, checked out the tadpoles and ran the cypress maze. All in all it was a busy day with a lot of fun in the sun!

At the Morton Arboretum...

Is that frog real?

What a week!

We started off with a pretty typical week for the girls and lots of extra driving (read: extra hours for Daddy) until Friday which we used as errand day. Saturday was a work day at Walcamp to get ready for spring and Sunday was a blur which featured church, Sunday School, lunch, and then we attended an Installation service. Daddy participated. The rest of us set up camp in the basement for obvious reasons.

Raking leaves at Walcamp - our #1 job.
Adley was so tired after our afternoon in the sun she took a 15 minute nap in the car on the way home. Wow!

Supervising the leaf raking.

Walcamp beauty

Adley shows off her new knee-pads so she can scooter on the back asphalt.
Bonus! They match her helmet.

Mommy feels safer already and the gloves are priceless.

All that running around was worth it for a PJ party in the living room.
