A Good Old Fashioned.....

temper tantrum! Simon is getting very good at these. Notice how he is in different spots in the photos. He was following me around the house crying, when I would stop walking he would throw himself on the floor. Then when I left the room, he would get up and follow me. He's a funny kid!

Mr. Independent

So, I am not one of those moms who willingly gives their toddlers a spoon and lets them have at it. I have enough messes to clean up without adding that kind of mess to my list. So, I like to wait until they are REALLY ready and don't make so much of a mess. Some may argue with me, but hey, it's not like they are gonna go to college not knowing how to use a spoon, so I am not overly worried.

Well, I sat down to feed Simon some yogurt today and he had an absolute fit when I tried to put it in his mouth. He kept trying to grab the spoon, so I let him have it. He definitley required assistance to actually get the yogurt on the spoon, but he was pretty proud of himself for what he COULD do.



Good job, Si!!!

Splish, Splash

It is SO stinkin' hot here today! We decided to get the little pool out so the kids can cool off. They had a blast - Simon, splashing and playing with his toys and Anna, bossing him around :-)

Last Day of Kindergarten

Today was my baby's last day of Kindergarten! She is now officially a first grader - a fact she will proudly tell anyone who will listen. She finished the school year with flying colors! Her report card was fabulous! We are amazed at the smart, social, funny little girl she has grown into over the past school year! Great job, Anna!!!!

Headed off for her last day of K - putting up with mom taking photos :-)

Getting off the Kindergarten bus for the last time

Mom's Birthday

Today we celebrated my birthday with my kiddos. My parents took us all out to dinner, then we had cake and ice cream at our house. Anna just HAD to help with everything and Simon just wanted at the cake :-)

For Sale....

Yup, it's officially on the market now. We've packed stuff up, cleaned like mad and finished up some projects (although we still have a few in the works). I'm having mixed feelings about the whole thing.....it's OUR house after all. So, we'll see what happens now.......

Field Day

Today was field day at Anna's school. She had a great time running, bouncing and playing with her friends.
