Field Trip

Just like a few of my mommy blogger friends, last week I was able to chaperone the Kindergarten class trip to Rutter's Dairy Farm. The Farm is celebrating their 90th birthday this year. They got to pet calves and goats.

These calves were known for their shoe shines. The kids thought this was hysterical.

This is Natalie's teacher who she absolutely adores. With only a few weeks left of school, it's bittersweet.

We are going to the "graduation" on Thursday so stay tuned for more pictures.

Here's Danny and a little game of Peek A Boo

Noodles and Bears?

Mother's Day was great. Between the great weather, great activities and great cards, I couldn't have asked for more. Here are some of the cards that the kids gave to me. The first is a paper that Natalie brought home from school. You might have to click on it to see her answers. I just had to laugh at some of her answers. She got my name right, and yeah, ok, that's my age. But I make lots of calls at work? She admitted that she didn't know what I do. Fair enough. Half the time, I don't know what I'm doing either. My favorite food is not noodles - that is her favorite food. And Greg has a good point - isn't everyone afraid of bears? I do hate when the dog is bad. That is a true statement. And the swing in our playroom is pretty great. And it was my idea so I guess that does makes me great!

This one made me laugh because of the drawing. It's true that I do let her stay up late on movie night. The picture is of us watching the Rapunzel movie, Tangled. I love the color choices. And our tv with a giant antenna.

To be fair, here's Danny's little card for me. What a cute little hand.
And what would a post be without pictures of the kids.

To the Theatre

This weekend the kids and I hit the road and headed down to Richmond for a visit with Eric, Katie and Anna. For Natalie's birthday, they bought us tickets to see Beauty and the Beast at the local theatre. By the time we got there Friday night, Anna was already asleep so I got to spend some quality time reading books with her first thing Saturday morning.

Then it was off for a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood to a nearby playground.

Danny LOVED the slide. LOVED.

After a full morning of play, it was time to clean up and head down to the theatre. We also went with Katie's mom, who Natalie affectionately refers to as "Aunt Jan". This is funny because she is not her aunt, nor is she named Jan. She is Jane. Anyhoo...

Eric stayed behind with the two toddlers (bless his soul) and pulled them through the neighborhood in the wagon. He said they played outside, inside and overall had a great time. They gave hugs, high-fived and did a great job at sharing.

Thanks again for having us down. It was a great show and great to see everyone.
