The back burner

I put my blog on the back burner these last few weeks.  We've been busy, lots of activities and gearing up for another fun (but way too short!) summer.  So I started to smell something burning and I thought the blog's gotta come off the stove.  Here's a little update:


Bailey had a very fun May Day at school.  The Kindergarten did a chant "E Ala E" and Bailey did a wonderful job.  It was lots of fun to see!



Chloe's new favorite toy
Thanks, Auntie Robin!


Chloe was painting with watercolors in the garage with Bailey.
She ran up to Brad and me and says "Kitty Cat!"
I thought she had seen a cat but upon closer inspection I found that she had
done her own face painting.


Our new favorite food: smoothies




Our new favorite park.  It's bigger than anything we've had before and has so many activities for the kids.  There are three different play areas including a sand pit with a "boat" that moves.  The kids love going there.  Of course, last time we went Chloe ended up in the grass picking up the berries that had fallen from the tree.  In the top picture is Chloe with her friends Ivan and Paige.


  
Last weekend our friends Monroe and Chelsea got married.
We were happy to help and had a great time.



This is Kula park right next door to Bailey's school.
No fancy equipment here but I love the view from the swing!



Coming Soon:
Super Summer Activities including
a camping trip
and lots of sand!

Chloe's Birthday

Image
A couple of Christmases ago my dad sent Chloe the first season of "Little House on the Prairie" on DVD. After watching them ALL and moving onto the books, Chloe is a certified Little House fan. {she may or may not have gotten that from me} So when she asked for a Little House birthday party this year I may have: squealed made a dedicated pinterest board to her party and generally went overboard. {yep, definitely got it from me} Each guest got a hand made bonnet and apron to keep ready to welcome people on the front porch Guests also chose candy for their prize bags Lunch included fried chicken, biscuits, watermelon, and lemonade   we ate picnic-style   then we moved on to games Stick Pull Musical Chairs, played to fiddle music Potato Sack Race Hula Hooping Three Legged Race Poor Doggie we also did some coloring sheets and made bookmarks   I ...

Back to School

Image
A couple nights ago we roasted marshmallows, a sort of "farewell to summer". The kids had a great time and Chloe has been requesting s'mores ever couple hours since. And today, it was back to school. Bailey completed her summer journal, a wonderful compilation of  her summer events, to be turned in. She looked so cute in her new uniform with her matching bows (Which came out midway thru school when they did uku checks.  Oh well.) I wasn't so sure about that pink skirt but hey, I'm not the one wearing it so I didn't say a word. Good thing because we got to school and two other girls had almost the exact skirt on. I guess I don't know first grade fashion. (At least I know enough not to say anything!)
