Arrr!

I have often posted on the creativity/imagination of our boys.  Another perfect example shown below as they dressed up as the most unique pirates I have ever seen.

Kindergarten Graduation

Today Elyse, and the rest of her class of 2027 graduated kindergarten.  The day consisted of an adorable concert they preformed for us parents, the students receiving their diplomas from their teacher, and a mini party.  Nate and I are so proud of her.  She is becoming the most beautiful daughter inside and out that we could ask for.

And They're Off

The boys were beyond thrilled this morning when they were told we would put in their power-wheels' batteries.  Needless to say they spent their entire morning riding.  Nate even made a seat belt for Ian.  He was hesitant at first, but then constant smiles, and screamed once we took him off.  Poor Elyse has officially gotten too big to ride but had a great attitude about it.

Kitchen Picnic

The boys informed me that the smartest place to have a picnic is in one's kitchen.  I don't know if I would agree; but I was not going to argue with them when it kept them entertained all morning.

village127's Family Social

This past Saturday we attended our church's adoption ministry, village127's annual family social.  The event consisted of socializing, inflatables, food, activities and a time to be surrounded with people that have a heart for adoption, orphan and/or foster care. Definitely a fun way to spend our Saturday.

My Little Helpers

It's a daily occurrence to sweep our floors, especially after meals.  Today the boys offered, however I believe the floor was dirtier when they finished than when they started. ;)

Animal Blankets

A few years back the kids received these animal blankets as gifts and still use them today.  With no rush to get to the bus or any place to go, the kids spent their morning being animals attacking one another with love.
