Schools Out For Summer!

Jackson's last day of kindergarten was yesterday.  I'm so happy to see him growing up and learning new things, but thinking about him going to school all day next year is super sad.  He did have a  really great experience this year.  He's made some great friends and had wonderful teachers.  What more could I want? 

On Tuesday, his class had a special movie day to watch Charlotte's Web.  Mr. Comstock read the book to the class the past couple of months and Jackson really loved the book.  It made me realize that I could read chapter books to them (I had tried a couple of years ago, but Jackson's attention span wasn't all that great).  We started the Mouse and the Motorcyle by Beverly Cleary and both boys love it.  But anyway, Jackson was excited to wear his pajamas and bring a pillow to school. 


Wyatt thought that was pretty cool too, so while Jackson was at school we watched Enchanted and ate popcorn.  Originally we were going to be in our pajamas too, but somehow it didn't happen (they may or may not have been my wish).


Ready to go for his last day!
This was the teacher gift Jackson gave Mr. Comstock and Mrs. Harper.  Wish I could say I thought of it myself, but alas, I did not.  Andrea gave me the link to a website with some teacher gift ideas.  So . .. what did Moms do before the Internet??  We also gave a plate of the cookies to his super nice bus driver, Miss Pam. 


After school, we used up the last of our punch passes at Kidz Play.  I probably should have paid for Anna this time, because she went on everything that the bigger kids did.  Even though the rules are 1 & up need to pay, the worker said she doesn't charge until they are well over a year . .  .works for me!



As you can see I had a tough time getting a clear shot of Wyatt, he was moving too fast.  As for Jackson, I didn't even try :)



And to officially celebrate the start of summer vacation, we had a little picnic party this afternoon.  I sent out the invite to the play group friends and to a few school friends.  We had 25 kids and 10 adults total- it was awesome!
How adorable are Piper and Anna?  Amanda is becoming quite the sewer and after making this cute skirt for Piper she made one for Anna out of the leftover material- so sweet!!  We couldn't quite get the girls to cooperate for a photo-- don't they realize what a good photo opp this was?? :)



We enjoyed some pretty perfect picnic weather too.  I wouldn't like if it stayed this cool all summer (too cold for the pool), but this 75 degrees stuff is not too bad :)

One Weekend, Three Living Arraignments

So I don't have too much time to blog, but thought I would do a quick update of our moving weekend.  First of all I wanted to post this pic of Wyatt trying to drink the rain that came last week.  It was the first time it's really rained here since we came to Arizona, and it was so weird.  Hot, muggy, rain.  All packed up and ready to go.  Friday was our last night in the apt (hallelujah!) One last goodbye To avoid having to pay into the new month, Saturday and Sunday night we stayed in a hotel (it was a lot cheaper surprisingly).  Wyatt was having lots of fun jumping on the bed. So Monday morning, as I was showering, I felt like the conditioner was making my hair feel really weird.  Well, that's because I dumped a bottle of lotion on my hair . . . FYI, that doesn't work well. Monday we finally moved in!  I took these pictures after a full day of unpacking and cleaning if you can believe it.  They look really bad, but they give you a tas...

OK, so I guess the consensus of the man giving me the flowers is creepy to everyone.  I think it's one of those times you had to have been there, because he really didn't seem creepy.  In any event the flowers still look pretty in the kitchen :) Wyatt just cracks me up these days.  I think this is just the funnest age when their personality really shows its true colors.  While we were playing in the backyard I tried to get a video of him using his "worker man voice"  It is the most hilarious thing.  He loves to do things to get me (and especially Erik) to laugh. While I was taking pictures of the boys, I decided I might as well get a shot of the baby tucked away (well not so tucked apparently) at 21 weeks.  I really am feeling so good these days, as long as I get some sleep.  Now that we are back on a normal schedule that's a lot easier to do! Jackson has reached to a new stage as well of keeping himself entertained (without the TV)...

Anna loves being by the fire.  It's actually the only time she doesn't fuss if she's set down.  This girl likes to be held! Our little Sumo wrestler A little dream smile :) We finally found some good bunk beds on Craig's List.  Jackson LOVES sleeping on the top.  I'm still keeping Wyatt in his crib, because he does so well in it.  I see no point in rocking the boat when I have a newborn to give me sleep troubles already.  We'll put Wyatt in bunk bed sometime this summer. Sweet girl.  This is one of my favorite outfits that I ordered for her, because it has my favorite color: yellow :) Jackson always wants to hold her.  Last night we had this sweet conversation: Jackson: "Mom, when are you going to wake up tomorrow morning?" (I've been able to sleep in while my parents have been here) Me: "I don't know Jackson it depends on how much Anna gets up during the night." Jackson: "Oh, I hope she doesn't need to nurse tonight...
