Golf

Sometimes you just have to get out of the house. Here are our golfers.

Wes is actually thinking about trying high school golf next year. We think it will be good for him.

Mommy & Me Preschool

Lynzy and I attend a Mommy & Me preschool one day a week. We love her teacher, Ms. Suzanne, and her class is super fun. Lots of painting, playdoh and crafts. It's a good interim thing for us to do together before she heads to Montessori preschool in the fall (Brock's preschool.)

I volunteered to sew mesh fabric to cover the hole in the middle of the preschool's parachutes and the kids (all 3) loved building this fort with them. (yes, there were two and I'm not the best seamstress, but it worked.)



By the way, if you can't tell, Wes is 6'1" and wears a size 13 shoe and is 14 1/2 years old.

Last day of winter/spring session - Easter Egg hunt at the park

Two funny things before I forget

Lynzy has some funny words that I don't want to forget once she stops saying them. Yesterday, Wes and I had her saying them all day.

Marbles = Markles
Pear = Parrot

It is hysterical to hear her ask "Brock, do you want some of my parrot?" Or "Mom, can I have a parrot?"

In honor of our governor

Of course our children have not seen The Terminator or even know what this means but it sure makes us laugh each time.

Santa

Santa was at Santee Lakes this year. He didn't say anything to the kids though except Ho Ho Ho. And Mrs. Claus was missing a couple of teeth, which can be common in our city. I'm pretty sure the kids didn't notice that part though.

Miraculously, Santa and Mrs. Claus (with all of her teeth) visited Brock's school a short time later. Lynzy got over being scared and sat with them happily. This time Santa asked them what they wanted. Lynzy said bunk beds and Brock said cars.

La Posada

Brock's preschool has a holiday party which teaches the kids a couple of the different traditions from around the world. One of them is La Posada which reenacts the journey that Mary & Joseph made on Christmas Eve. The school designates the oldest boy and oldest girl as Joseph & Mary and Brock was the oldest. He was really proud to be Joseph. He got to walk around with "Mary" and knock on all the doors asking for a room to stay.

After we got home, my kids acted it out even more with the awesome nativity set my cousin Jamie made us this year.

Halloween 2009 - better late than never

I think in blog posts but finding the time to post them is something else. Anyway, here are our scarecrow and Barbie cheerleader. Brock chose the scarecrow idea from a book and we found the shirt and hat at the thrift store. Lynzy's cheerleader outfit was courtesy of a yard sale where it only cost me $2.

I just have one complaint about the cheerleader costume. Is it really necessary to have a see-through mesh middle? My three year old isn't going to be showing any skin if I can help it. She also won't be wearing any bikinis, makeup or dating until she is 30.
