A Peek Into Our Week- Mothers Day Tea!

The highlight of the week was by far Mothers Day Tea at Olivia's school. I had really been looking forward to it. Olivia had been telling me they had been practicing for it- but wouldn't give me any hints, since it was a surprise. :)



There's a picture of the kids before heading off to school that morning! Aiden & I came home for a hour & a half before heading back to school for the tea- the whole time we were home Aiden kept asking "sissys tea?" He was so well behaved and patient waiting for it to start.



 Olivia's class did the most precious song- I am so glad I recorded it. Olivia did great- and it looked like she really enjoyed performing!




It was such a fun morning and we all enjoyed trying the yummy finger foods!

Another highlight of the week was while Aiden & I were shopping in Ross he was getting bored and needed some entertainment. I had a big bag of pipe cleaners and craft stuff in the cart, so I handed it to him and told him to count it. To my amazement, he started counting! YAY Aiden! While we were waiting to pick V up, I got him counting again and he went all the way to 19- so proud of my boy!

A Peek Into Our Week- Field Trip!

Olivia had her last field trip of the year to visit community helpers on Thursday. First we were off to the library for story time. 



Olivia really enjoyed the books and the singing and dancing. Next up, we stopped by the post office to mail the "secret friend" letters. I didn't get any pictures as I was carrying Aiden around. He did really well but needed a few breaks. :)

The last stop was a local bakery. It smelled so good in there but it was sooo hot! They learned all about how bread is made and even how to grind your own wheat flour. She got a free loaf of honey wheat bread to take home with her- it was so yummy. We will defiantly be back for more! They also gave her seeds to grow wheat grass and once it gets 4 inches high she can take it back to show them and get a free cookies. Sounds like a fun summer activity to me!

After V was back in class, Aiden & I went to get some lunch and kill some time. 


Here is my sweet lunch date enjoying his apple juice!


Here he is again admiring a ferret at the pet store!

On Saturday Olivia had a birthday party to go to at a bouncy house place. She had lots of fun bouncing with her friends from school and the birthday girl. After the party we made our Costco stock up trip for the month. 


It was a pretty normal week around here- just soaking up the last few weeks of preschool and preparing for the summer, which is sneaking up way to fas
