It's so hard to take care of two babies at the same time ...
The higher you jump, the higher the stomp rocket goes!
Lucas had his last soccer game today followed by a small pizza celebration where each member of his team received their own trophy. Coach Ben informed us that he was impressed with how well Lucas improved over the season ... and he did improve. The first session was rough and it took Lucas 20 minutes to warm up to the coach and his teammates. By the last game, Lucas was awesome! He scored lots of of goals during the season and had a great time! Megan even had fun cheering him and the Bumble Bees on and practicing soccer on the side of the field.
We picked a good day to go to the zoo. It was a little cool, considering it was June, but we got to see the new baby kangaroos hopping around and getting in and out of their mommies' pouches. We also got to enjoy a picnic lunch with Abby and her family before heading home.
Lucas' teachers usually have a Pre-K outing to see the local minor league team, but they didn't pay their bills and got kicked out of their stadium. So this year ... bowling! The kids had a blast! Between the bumpers and the ramps, they did really well. Thank you Ms. Katie & Ms. Carol for organizing such a fun outing for the kids!
Today we celebrated Lucas' friend Nate's birthday at The TreeHouse. Lucas had a lot of fun climbing around with many of his classmates, and Megan had a good time, too. The video shows Megan's reaction every time she went down the slide ... not just the first time.
We've gotten a few cute pics when friends have come over lately. I think the funniest is the one with the kids and Drew ... the new thing to do is to get out all of Mommy's brushes and fix people's hair. And the best way to style hair? To add cheese, of course!
Today was a busy birthday day. We started the day off at Monkey Joe's for Alicia's 5th birthday party. As Monkey Joe's is one of the kids' favorite places, it was a good way to start the day. And Heather did an awesome job making Alicia's cool castle cake. :) Happy Birthday, Alicia!
After fun at Alicia's party and a nap to re-energize, we headed to Hannah's 1st birthday party. Lucas and Megan were excited because they were on their way to eat pizza and cake for the second time that day. :) Happy Birthday, Hannah!
The Star Wars themed birthday party for Samantha (5) and Everett (2) was pretty cool. They had lightsabers (chocolate covered pretzel rods), Han Solo stuck in carbonite (a small figurine in jello) and several other themed food items. Darth Vader's head even doubled as a piñata. The kids had a blast playing together and we (technically Drew) even got a good picture of all of them together: Lucas, Samantha, Hannah, Carl, Megan, Ben, Alicia, Everett, Kaylee and Nathaniel.
