We have been running around like crazy with all the end of school year activities! This week is also packed with excitement, but I am ready to have my babies home for the summer!
The past few weeks run together, and I do not want to forget all the fun, so here is a quick snapshot of our lives:
Tuttle had his first Field Day two weeks ago. It was definitely organized chaos. Jacob and I went to cheer him on in the morning and returned with Maggie after preschool. My favorite competitions to watch were the three-legged sack race and the water challenge pictured below. Everyone was worn out after a day in the sun!
Daddy and Tuttle enjoyed "Doughnut with Dad" this past Friday. Only kindergarten holds these sweet events for the parents, so we soaked it up with our first boy! Two more years and we will be attending again with Maggie.
Our family ran/walked the Brookhaven Bolt on Saturday. It raises money for the elementary school and has increased in popularity over the years. We ran in it a few years ago before we were involved in Ashford Park Elementary, and it was exciting to see how much it has grown. The highlight for Tuttle was seeing the teachers spread out along the course, especially Ms. and Mrs. Fleming, the biggest celebrities of the school! :)
Jay and I attended a wedding for one of his co-workers on Saturday night. I even was able to sneak away for the wedding for a haircut. (I honestly might get my hair cut twice a year, so this is a HUGE treat!). The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, and we are thrilled for the happy couple!
Yesterday the entire family (including both sets of grandparents) attended Maggie's gymnastics showcase at Jumpstart. It was a total mommy fail because we showed up at the wrong time, and Maggie froze during the performance. Luckily Ava came to the rescue and walked Maggie through all the obstacles. Maggie's actual performance was later in the afternoon, and Maggie requested that we go back to try it again with her friends, especially since Ava was performing at the afternoon showcase. After a BIG pep-talk, Maggie rocked it at the second round! She danced and showcased her strong gymnastics moves! I was so proud of her for overcoming her fear from the first show.
Jacob has been such a trooper during all his brother and sister's activities. He is happy to be along for the ride and always has an enormous grin plastered on his face.
We are gearing up for a kindergarten graduation, school parties, gymnastics awards, and a karate belt test this week! Our babies sure keep us busy, but we are so proud of their hard work this year in school and sports.
I am counting down the days until summer break, so we can continue to make memories with our packed June and July!
