Thursday

Oy Vey- what a week we have had...
Elliet had field day at school on Thursday and we all went to go watch for a little while. Do you remember how fun those days were as a kid? I think it's cool they still do the water games and run through tunnels for cheap, printed ribbons. I still have those from my Field Days of Glory stuffed in the dusty box of my past... so here's to tradition! Then the twins and I whisked away to their tradional Teddy Bear picnic with their preschool teacher, Ms. Jamie. This was kind of a special one because Elliet did it for two years when she had Ms. J, and this is the twins second, and final, year. We have loved Ms. Jamie and it's sad to think that soon I won't be driving any kids to attend anymore. We will miss her! Here are the twins with such beautiful, sincere smiles... especially Luke. How natural, that... he looks like he just ate a disagreeable twinkie. Oh but we love her- We'll miss you, Ms. J!
This teddy bear picnic is always set up so fun. She has each child bring a favorite stuffed toy and has a couple of games and treasure hunt to do with them. Here the kids are playing duck-duck-goose but saying teddy-teddy-bear instead. Luke chose Sadie to chase him and he outran her. Barely. It was a beautiful, perfect day to sit in the shade and cool grass. I liked being forced to hold still for a couple of hours.
Amid the crazy schedule we had all week, the weather was outta sight, dogs. It was hot (but not too hot), sunny and beautiful. The nights were breezy and perfect. The solar heated our pool to perfect mid 80's temps so the kids swam practically every day. And you know what that means?!? TOOT THE SUMMER HORNS! It means we officially broke out the Little Snowie! Let the snow-cones of summer... BEGIN. So far the flavor of the mo is Lemon Lime. We have tongue color contests. We kind of like snow cones.
After all this fun, Scott and I packed our bags and headed to St. George for some crazy adventures --- all done within 48 hours. More to come...
