VBS ~ Day 2

Today is the second day of vacation bible school for Gavin and Katelyn. This years theme is PandaMania.

Both kids had a great time yesterday and were full of stories when I picked them up. The craft they made was name tag necklaces to wear all week. Of course with a big Panda in the middle.

Both Gavin and Katelyn said their favorite activity yesterday was game time- and it involved some sort of water gun fight.

Today is crazy hair day. Gavin asked for his to be spiked- and since he needs a hair cut- it does look kind of crazy.

Katelyn asked for her hair to be done in lots of pony tails. So I gave her 5 pony tails and she picked out different colored bands to put on the top of each one.

I am so glad they are having fun at VBS!

And note the cute T-shirts too!

Last Day Of School 2011

As of 3:15 today- we are on summer vacation! Today was the last day of school for Gavin and Katelyn!

I snapped this picture before they both left for school this morning.

Katelyn was sad that her school year is over. She is a social butterfly who makes friends so very easily. She loved going to school each and every day. When I would pick her up she was always full of stories to tell me about all her little friends. What they ate for snack time, what she did on the play ground, who didn't listen to the teacher, and who she played with throughout the day.

She has learned so much this year. She knows how to write her name out and most of the letters of the alphabet. She can also add some numbers too! I think she is more than ready for kindergarten!

As for Gavin...my poor guy was absolutely thrilled this was the last day of school. We struggled all year long with the increased work load and homework. I am pleased to say that he passed the FCAT with flying colors ( whew ) and starts 4th grade in the fall.

And tonight we have Katelyn's preschool graduation. She has been excited for this for weeks now!

Sunday Fashion Show

Katelyn woke up Saturday morning sick. She was having trouble breathing and her cough was just horrible. So we started off the day bright and early with a breathing treatment at 7am. My poor girl laid on the couch all day so sad that she was sick.

I think by 11PM we were at a total of 4 breathing treatments and her chest was FINALLY clearing up. Nothing like breathing problems to make me worry sick all day long. And I truly mean ALL.DAY.LONG.


BUT---by Sunday when she woke up, Katelyn was 100% better. Her cough was all gone and her energy was back. And to thank me for all of my loving care the day before Katelyn treated me to a fashion show. I'm not sure what kind of fashion she thinks this is, but lets go with it.

And she's really got the pose down for the runway. She can really strike a pose in her "heel shoes".
But sometimes as a model you have to be able to switch up your look. Like a change of hair color for example.
And last, but not least, to complete the look of being fabulous....you have to have the upside down sunglasses.

Move over supermodels of the world....Here comes Katelyn!

Looks Can Be Deceiving

I had to laugh this past weekend when I heard Danyelle in the kitchen. I found her standing over the box of donuts I had given the kids earlier.

I heard her say "WHO does this?"

I walked up next to her and said "What?' Whats wrong?"

She opened the donut box and showed me what she had found:

Several half eaten donuts and some with just one bite out of them. Again Danyelle said "WHO does something like this?"

And by now I was laughing hysterically. I called Katelyn in and asked her if she did it. She took a look at all the damaged donuts and said "Yep, I did that. I don't like the chocolate."

I guess it took her biting into 5 or 6 donuts before she realized she didn't like them!

Katelyn's 1st Field Trip

Katelyn had her first field trip last week with her pre-school. She woke up every morning last week and would say "Is this my field trip day?" And every day she would remind Gavin that she would be going on a field trip with her class. Oh yes, she was super excited.

We went to the Van Wezel hall in downtown right on the water. We saw a live performance of Harold and the Purple Crayon.

When we first got there we all waited outside for the everyone to get there and then all walked in to our seats. Katelyn was just beside herself seeing all of her friends outside of school!! Our seats were in the 3rd row right in the center so we could see the stage perfectly.
The play was really cute and Katelyn laughed the whole time. After the show we all went behind the building so the kids could have a snack.

After the snack the kids ran around in the grass and threw some rocks into the ocean. Then they all got together for a group shot.

Don't they all look so cute in their school T-shirts! Katelyn had wonderful time and is looking forward to the next field trip!!
