Our Annual Visit to the Great Wolf Lodge

Another Fun One!

Safety Town

The city we live in holds a little camp, free of charge, for entering kindergartners...
"Safety Town"
They attend every day for one week and learn all about safety, including traffic rules, memorizing their address, and staying away from strangers. They get to visit the fire station, check out the police cars, and take a ride on a school bus. At the end of the week they have a little graduation ceremony and then they get to play in the safety village. Dillon enjoyed camp and is still particular about lifting his bicycle helmet a little at intersections and telling me he is listening for sirens. I guess you can't be too safe right?

Thanks Grandma and Papa

We got a fun package from Grandma and Papa the other day. Lots of goodies from their trip to Hawaii. There isn't a picture of the yummy macadamia nut cookies cause they were gone in a flash.

Soccer Camp 2009

Dillon really took to soccer this year, I think we might have found a good way to burn off some of that extra energy. He was really pretty good and it was a lot of fun watching him kick that ball around. Too bad they haven't created some type of "snow soccer" sport so we could keep this up through the winter.

Schools Out (and other stuff around that time)

As lame as it is...over a month later...I still have to post this kind of stuff for the sake of remembering. Just wait until I do my Mother's/Father's Day post.

There were lots of celebrations to be had at the close of this school year. The only problem was, being the room parent in both of my kids classes, I had to do the planning and preparing of these celebrations. Outside of the occasional chaos, I think it all went pretty well. For Dillon's class we did a teddy bear picnic party. We played games, ate lots of picnic goodies, and had a little preschool graduation ceremony. The kids had a lot of fun and I, surprisingly, got through it without falling apart, as I usually do when my kids move up in school.



For Molly's party we had a luau. I called about 50 different dollar/discount stores anywhere within an hour drive and everybody was sold out of hula hoops. After calling the Dollar Tree distribution center to see if I could order them I was told they were on back order until August, so we ended up with jump ropes. The kids still enjoyed it, along with other activities, and at least the jump ropes are a little easier for them to take home.

Cleveland Heights/University Heights Summer Blast Off
the kids got to take a ride on the Rocket Car and Travis and I learned how to hula hoop (really cool).
