Happy Early Father's Day

B&B made Jay an early Father's Day present at preschool.  They were sooo excited to give it to him.  Of course, he was just as excited to get it!

 

2nd to Last Day of Preschool

B&B looked so cute walking into school together.  

They love going to preschool and will miss it over the summer.  Brooks likes to 'walk' his sister in.  He's a great big brother.  His teaches have told me if anything happens to Brynn that he's right there to take care of her.  Sometimes then getting in trouble himself for pushing another kid if they have done something to make Brynn cry.  We don't condone pushing or other "mean" things at this house, but I won't lie, it makes me smile that he already sticks up for her, even if it involves a little pushing every now and then.:)

When we got in, they sat with their buddy Luke.

Their teachers made them scrapbooks detailing the entire year.  We all loved looking at them!

Last Day of Preschool

May 19 was B&B's last day of preschool.    I tried to explain they are on summer break and will go to a different school next year, but they don't understand.  They ask every day if it's "school day".  Here's a few shots of their last day thanks to Aunt T-T.

When I picked them up they had to give their teachers biggggg hugs!

Big ole hug for Ms. Kathrin.

And big hug for Ms. Kellie!

Preschool Program

I'm behind on blogging again because we've spent the last week decluttering and deep cleaning our house.  Those two things and living life leave pretty much no time for blogging.  There are several important things to catch up on.  Here's the first.  B&B had a preschool closing program on May 16.  It was really more if a graduation for the 4 year olds but each class did a couple of songs.  Here they are excited to do some puzzles with Ms. Kellie before the program started.

Nana, P-Pa, Joey, and Parker had saved me, Jay and Bailee a seat and Bailee was ready to watch the program!

But then she got distracted by Nana's camera bag.

Finally it was time for B&B's class!

They walked out and sat in the stage.  Brynn was nervous and almost pulled her dress over her head a couple of times.  Brooks spotted us very quickly and did more waving than singing.

Their class sang "The B-I-B-L-E" and "Oh Be Careful".  Here they are doing the motions that go along with the song.

They both did a great job and we were so proud.  When we got home we celebrated with pictures..

And ring pops!

Funny Brooks picture of the day

This is from last week. We went to get some things at Lowes. He had to check out the mowers, however he refers to the big ones as tractors.  He literally sat on every display model they had.  He learned how to work them from his grandfather. 

Brooks Cow

Brooks asked me to make him horns like a cow this morning.  This was the best I could come up with.  He's mooing....

Long, fun day

Brooks and Brynn had school today and me Bailee ran errands all morning.  After Parker got out of school him and Tracie came by and we went to the zoo. 

There was meerkat watching,

there was pretzel eating,

there was goat petting,

there was lots of playing on the jungle gym (water break picture),

there were fish to look at,

(Brooks tried to take every step that Parker took - literally.)

and there was a snake that raised up to look the kids over!

It was a long but fun day.  The kids all went to bed an hour early so now Mommy's going to too!

New Carpet

It makes for an interesting day when you've got three little ones and you are getting new carpet in your house.  It was three rooms and the stairs.  It took two guys all day.  Thankfully, it was a nice day so we logged a whole lot of outside time.

Bailee took her morning nap outside.

  We had a picnic lunch.

B&B did lots if running and pushing each other in the wagon.

When we came back in after lunch we lost Bailee.  Not really, but you can see it was pretty cramped in the living room.  And she is in this picture, if you can find her.

Brooks was very into the tools the guys brought in.  He went and got his "tool box" and sat it right beside theirs.

Even though there was very loud work going on all around, B&B had no problems taking an afternoon nap on the couch!

It turned out great at the end of the day.  Here's a before and after pic from the worst area of carpet that goes out to the garage.  

And to top off the night we celebrated with chocolate covered strawberries.

Happy Mother's Day to me

We've had a very busy day today.  We are getting new carpet tomorrow and that inspired us to do alot of closet cleaning this weekend!

But this post is about Mother's Day.  This morning I got some very sweet flower pictures from some very sweet kids.

Earlier this week I got a special recipe card holder that b&b made at school.  They were so excited to give it to me, but within about 30 minutes Brynn had broken both of them. Ha!  I do still have the recipe cards that came on them.

Me and Brynn were at Target last week and texted Jay to ask if it was ok if we went ahead and bought my Mother's Day present.  She helped me pick out a "B" necklace.

On Facebook today everyone was posting about how they had the best mom ever.  I was thinking it was funny that each of us do think OUR Mom is the best.  And then I realized why.  Because no one will ever love you like your Mom loves you.  I know this because it just would NOT be possible for any one to love these three more than I do.  Happy Mother's Day to me.:)
