All in a day

We had the funnest Saturday ever.  Oscar's school had their annual carnival / book fair.  They had games and food.  Calvin ate an entire cotton candy all by himself.

 There was "fishing" for prizes.

 Golfing for prizes.

 Riding ovesized tricycles (for fun... no prizes)

 Cake walks.

 Giant hammer games.

The biggest blow up thing you ever saw.  That's Oscar on his way up.

And to top it off after we went to one of Oscar's classmates house for BBQ / roasting marshmallows.  Landon lives on a HUGE "rustic" lot.  They boys actually hiked in their backyard for marshmallow stick.  Serious boy fun.  They were giddy. 

I love Saturdays like that.

Boy Crazy

This was how the boys occupied themselves while I did dishes after dinner tonight. 

Good old fashion silly fun. 

Smiling yet?

Just some random stuff

Now that Darren has started his MBA we see him even less than usual.  He's tried to keep Sunday for family.  This was a special moment w/ all my "boys" observing a catapillar they found on our deck.

Took Calvin & Jack to the zoo one day Oscar was in school.  I love the zoo on school days... it's so EMPTY.

They boys being creative.  They are playing "turtle".... pretty imaginative I thought.

Oscar and Calvin helping me w/ my "homework".  I took a pile of stuff from Calvins preschool to help out the teacher w/.  I'll have to email this to her.... I'm not sure this is exactly what she had in mind when she asked moms to help her out with the paperwork......

First Day of School

This year Oscar starts 1st grade and Calvin starts Pre-K.  Yesterday both schools had the open house / meet the teacher day.  Jack wanted to wear a backpack too.  The open houses went super well.  Both kids seemed excited!  We LOVE the schools the boys are at so that helps a lot too!

 This is Calvin's Pre-K class room.  I snapped a pic through the window after drop off to make sure all was well (it was).  This is his friend Jack who he's know for a few years.  They'll be buddies for sure.

 This is Oscar's 1st grade classroom.  This pic is from the open house where he's putting all his school supplies away. 

 Calvin, morning of his first day of school ever! 

 Oscar, an expert at this school thing now that he's a very big 1st grader.

Sigh.  They are getting so big......
