What a Weekend

It was a slap back to reality when I realized that Landon still had school after our carefree summer fun weekend. It started with fun days at school for both kids. Lucy had her year end party at pdo which marked her official end of the school year. I dropped her off as usual in car pool and headed back up there around 11 for the big "partay"! Lucy has a great year of school and had the best teachers ever! She constantly talks about Ms Lisa and Ms Morgan and I couldn't have asked for better teachers this year!






She made lots of friends one of which she just loves...Miss Evey! These girls are a mess and we got notes every day about her playing dolls, or kitchen or playing on the playground with Evey. I also heard lots of stories about these girls and their wild ways! :) They would sit in the circle tunnel thingy on the playground and take their shoes off and throw them through the holes. And since they have both been potty trained lately, they would go potty together...all day! When one would go, the other would go, and vice versa. I think Ms. Morgan told me for the past couple of weeks they pretty much have spent their days in the bathroom! ha! We hope to have lots of play dates this summer with Evey!



Next year, Lynlee will have Ms. Lisa and Ms. Morgan, along with about half of the other siblings of Lucy's class, one of which is Evey's little brother. So, these little blue eyed babies got aquanited during the party. :)





After, Lucy's party, I dropped the girls off at Ash's office and made my way over to Landon's school for May Day Play Day! This is a play day on steroids!







I manned the sponge race, which was super duper easy. I pretty much chatted with the other volunteer moms and snapped pictures....Landon's class won!














So, this is how our weekend started. That night we ended up having an impromptu get together with some of our favorite friends, made a stop at Yogurt Lab (yum) and then enjoyed a few beverages into the late night. Saturday morning came and went and we just piddled around the house. By mid afternoon, we were all antsy and decided to drive up to the Gardendale splash pad. This was our first visit and I can tell you it won't be the last. The kids had a blast...

















even Lynlee...











and just as we were leaving the ice cream truck showed up. My kids were in pure bliss! So, for all my birmingham area friends, its a quick drive up 65 to Feildstown Road exit, take a left and the park will be on your right...can't miss it! We will be making several trips up over the summer.

On Sunday, our sweet friends invited us to their lake house for the day at Highlands Lake. So after church the kids and I made our way up. It was a pretty drive and just under an hour. And the weather could not have been more beautiful! We all changed into our swimming suits and enjoyed the day...

















laying out, swimming, grilling, fishing, feeding the fish, riding the seadoo. My little dare devil, didn't hesitate a bit on the seadoo riding and kept asking to "go again"





And Lynlee was good as gold playing in her pack n play in the shade.



She had plenty of company...



It was a perfect start to our summer almost summer. Landon has just 3 more days of school and we can't wait for all our days to be lazy, care free and fun filled!
