3 Day Holiday Weekend....and a BOX!

ConCon gave us a box from her new patio furniture and we had so much fun! Painting and drawing and playing house. At one point, Samson even got in on the action. I was working with Will on drawing "cewrcles".....when Stella announced she had made Samson a doggie salad to eat in his new doggie house. I peeked in to find Samson enjoying his dog food with Vanilla Cheerios. Later, at dinner, I asked Stella what her favorite part of the day was and she said, "Making Samson a doggie salad." Fun times!

Pre-K Graduation

Stella and her classmates celebrated their Pre-K Graduation from The Gardner School on May 14th at the annual Spring Fling. They opened with a song about the 50 States That Rhyme, which we practiced for weeks. Each student accepted a certificate from Ms. Loretta. It was sad knowing this was the last event we would attend for The Gardner School, a home away from home for both kids. Notice the green kitty socks that Stella insists on wearing all the time. We tried to convince her she needed to wear dress socks that matched with her dress for graduation but she said "no thank you." We pick our battles.
