Kindergarten

Gavin's homework assignment last night was to write a letter to his teacher telling her his favorite part of kindergarten this year.

Gavin's letter?

"My favorite part of kindergarten this year was lunch and play time"

I guess that would be about right for a kid!!

Weekend Roundup

1 Week later and we are done painting the house. Friday night Ken finished the trimwork that needed to be done and I painted the shutters. We went with a light gray for the house and a brick red for the shutters and our front door. I'll post pictures when it is all done ( still have to do the door ).


Saturday was our first Saturday in about 10 weeks or so that we had absolutely nothing planned. Since basketball season is over no more waking early to get Gavin to the courts by 8am. So, did I get to sleep in? Of course not. Katelyn decided to give me a couple shout outs over the baby monitor around 530am. I ignored her of course. 6 am came and there she was again. This time I got up, changed her diaper, and snuggled with her on the couch for about 10 minutes. I put her back in her crib where she slept until about 730.


We spent the day doing a whole lot of nothing. Cleaned up Gavin's room which was a disaster. Played tea party with Katelyn for a while. She kept pouring me cups of tea from her tea pot. And you HAVE to drink them or she will shove the cup to your mouth. Same goes with the pretend food. You better eat it or risk a fork shoved your way!!


We all finally got dressed around 4pm! What a lazy day. Pizza for dinner and then Alexis came over to play with Gavin and Katelyn. Oh yeah, and this is how I found them after a very long time of being quiet:

Nice.

Sunday morning we went to church with my inlaws while Ken headed off to work for a couple of hours. After church we went to my inlaws for lunch. Then the bad news came. Ken called to say that he had broken down about an hour and a half away. In MY car no less. He said the water pump broke.

So, off my father in law went to go rescue him. Meanwhile I went back home with the kids. And, I got a baby sitter lined up for Katelyn and I took Gavin to see the new Indiana Jones movie.

Wow, Harrison Ford has still got it. I loved the movie, Gavin loved the movie, and now I have a crush on Harrison Ford.

As for Memorial Day, the only plans we have are to spend some time outside with the sprinkler. Fun! Then we are eating at my dad's for dinner!

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great Memorial Day!!

I Know Alot!!

As we were doing homework the other night Gavin was getting a little restless. He really wanted to be done and was trying to go as fast as possible. This made his handwriting look sloppy.

So I told him to slow down and write the words nicely like a first grader would do. That got his attention since he is looking forward to being in first grade next year. So, he slowed down and wrote out all his spelling words very neatly. I even told him one of the words looks like a second grader could have written it.

Wow! Was he impressed with himself! Then he says so very cutely: Mom, do you know there is such thing as ninth grade?

Yes Gavin, I did know that.

Now he is impressed that I know that. And then ever so seriously he asks me: Do you think there is a tenth grade?

And when I said yes, it just blew his mind that school could go up that far.

I am glad I can still amaze him with my knowledge!!

Weekend Roundup

Since we have decided to sell our house most of this weekend was spent getting it ready to be listed. Friday after dinner Ken, Gavin, and Danyelle got the outside ready to be painted. They covered all the windows and put the blue tape around everything else.

Saturday morning Gavin had his awards ceremony for this basketball season. He got a great medal with his name engraved on it and his team name. After the ceremony was his last game. Again Gavin and the whole team played great. Unfortunatly, they lost. Oh well, they had a good season. Gavin is already looking forward to what sport he wants to try out next.

Katelyn was a tired cranky girl all day Saturday! I even made her take two naps, compared to the one nap she usually takes. She whined and screamed about everything. Maybe the terrible two's are coming a little early!

Later Saturday evening my mom picked up Gavin to go out for cheesecake. Yummy!

Sunday was a great day. Gavin and I went to Adventure Island ( a water park ) for some fun in the sun. We went with my inlaws, my brother in law and his two kids. The last time I was there was 2 years ago when I was pregnant with Katelyn. And since last year Katelyn was still a baby, I stayed home while Ken and Gavin went. We did the Rambling Bayou twice. I used a tube to float thru while Gavin just wore a life jacket and floated all the way. We also spent about a half hour in the wave pool. I put aside my fear of water and swam into the deep end with Gavin so he could enjoy those monstrous crazy waves- again Gavin used the life jacket. We also spent some time in the kids splash zone. We rode water flumes named Key West Rapids and Calyspso Coaster. We also did a picnic lunch at the park.

And where was Katelyn? Aunt Gina offered to watch her for the day so I could go to the park and enjoy being with just Gavin. Thanks Gina!!

Meanwhile, Ken and Danyelle stayed home to work on painting the house. They got the whole house done except for the trim.

And that's all folks! Hope everyone has a great week!
