Field Day

Logan's school had to postpone their Field Day (or as they call it, Super Skills Day) on Friday due to inclement weather. Monday was the reschedule day and here are a few pictures of Logan and his partner doing some Super Skills!

Kindergarten, Here She Comes!

Today was graduation day at Amanda's preschool!

She is now an official Kindergartner and our lives are about to drastically change forever.

She's as cute as a button and super excited to be heading to Kindergarten.

But you have to wonder what her future will bring... Her teachers asked all the students what they wanted to be when they grew up. Amanda said she wants to be a "professional horse rider" (No kidding. Her own words.) but I don't know. She seems to really be into fashion and "working" the camera. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

A New Rider

Add another tally for another major milestone for my baby!
I took the training wheels off of her little Dora bike and she's been practicing but it was just too small for her. We took her shopping several times for a big girl bike until she found the bike of her dreams. This cute little Barbie bike with tassels and a handle bar pouch. Today she jumped on with no training wheels and just TOOK OFF! I guess she was ready! : )

Mommy Doesn't Make Idle Threats

We've been having a hard time getting Amanda to use good table manners (ie using a spoon and fork) and the other night I'd had enough. I told her that if she didn't start using her fork to eat her noodles then I was going to duct tape it to her hand. Well, I guess she needed a little reminder that I don't bluff.

She actually found the whole ordeal kind of fun. But since then she's been doing a better job with her utensils so I guess I made my point.

A Funny for Mother's day

Well, I've had a wonderful Mother's day. I was served breakfast in bed, was showered with gifts and was granted my every hearts desire... which was to work in the yard : ). However, during one of our breaks Logan, Amanda, and I were talking in the kitchen while making a snack. I was trying to use up the goat cheese we have in the fridge and it prompted a discussion about where milk comes from...
Me - "We usually drink cow's milk, but all mammals make milk."
Am - "Even Daddy's?"
Me - "No. Only Mommy's can make milk."
Lo - "And you make it with your boobies, right?"
Me - "Right." : )
Am - "But boys have boobies."
Me - "No. Boys have nipples."
Lo - "Why do boys have nipples?"
Me - "I have no idea."
Am - "But I don't HAVE boobies!"
Me - "You'll have boobies someday."
Lo - "Hey, Mom. How old were you when your boobies popped out?"

Awwwww. Kids! Makes you want to have a few more, huh?

Happy Mother's Day to you all.

Mother's Day Tea

See below for the rest of the posting... Blogger is being difficult today and won't let me do this all in one post.

And The Photos...

I was invited to attend Amanda's class Mother's Day Tea program today and let me just say... SUPER CUTE! They sang us some songs, played the bells, and presented us with homemade cards and a cute little flower pot of their own creation. They also made us a snack... yummy cake balls.

After the program, Amanda and I headed to a local park to take some Mother Daughter photos. Here are some of my favorites.
