Hammer Time!

Grandpa taught the kids how to hammer real nails into wood today. Zach LOVED it! And he caught on pretty quickly too. Time to put the boy to work framing our basement. =)

Teddy Bear Picnic

The Plainville Library had their annual Teddy Bear Picnic today - so a group of us all went together. Kids were to bring their favorite stuffed animal and lunch, then we sang songs, ran around and played. It was so much fun! The lady who led the singing was great! Here's our group.

Z&E took front row spots when the singing started.

Zach - wrong way! Guess the moms were more interesting! =)

Eating while watching the singing.

I think that was a sour grape.

Izzy LOVED the singing.

Shake your wiggles out!

Hugs!

Ahh...

Is that a bear hug? Or a bear smash?

Getting tired.

Cindy and Katie.

Julie and Kaylee

Kerri and Mason

Two worn out kids!

See You Later, Alligator

Izzy's last day of school was on Thursday. Since the 3-year old class doesn't "graduate" they instead have a "See You Later, Alligator" program till everyone returns in the fall. Here's all the kids doing their performance for the parents.

Our little alligator!


There was cake and punch for all the families afterwards - giving the kids one last chance to play with their friends.

Grandma came along.

Kids

Another ones of Izzy's friends/classmates had a birthday party last weekend. Here's a few pictures from the party.

Having TOO much fun!

Learning how to hoola-hoop!

Time for cake and ice cream.

Some of the kids together.

Afterwards, Zach and Izzy "helped" Steve change the oil on the truck. Yes, this is them crawling around UNDERNEATH the truck.

New Kitchen Table

Since we said good-bye to the high chairs, we needed a new kitchen table that could seat all 5 of us. Here's what just got delivered today. It seems BIG, but I guess that was the point, right - to have a bigger table. =) Sadly, it's time to say farewell to the kitchen table Steve and I bought right after we got married. It lasted us 10 years - if you can believe it.

Izzy's Last School Field Trip

Izzy had her last field trip of the year yesterday to the Capron Park Zoo. The kids were all given bingo sheets with animal pictures and had to put stickers on each animal they found in the zoo. They had a lot of fun running around finding the animals.

The zoo has a bubble machine that blows bubbles all over for the kids to chase.

At the Tropical Rain Forest - mommy and Izzy became bats!

Izzy with her teachers - Miss Kelley and Miss Marcy. (Love the face!)

Back at school to finish off the day with a snack and story.

Last week, we had a beautiful double rainbow appear.
