For Christmas Aidan and Breanna got a new fort/swingset from the grandparents. They love to have picnics at the table. I was able to snap a few shots of them enjoying their lunch. Of course, they spied Mommy spying on them. I just love how well they play together...when they aren't fighting!
No, Breanna does not have pink eye. For her 4th birthday, Breanna got make up. Boy, was she excited! This girl is all girl. In this picture she is having fun applying LOTS of eye shadow. Fortunately, the colors are light...
Aidan and Breanna attend the AWANA program at our local church. Every year at the end of the year, they have the AWANA Grand Prix. Aidan's first year, he and Daddy made Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars. He won 2nd place for design. I don't think he crossed the finish line. Last year, Daddy procrastinated a little bit and we made a fun car, but it didn't place at all. This year was Bre's first year, so she got to make a car, too! She was so excited. The picture below is the kids watching Daddy paint their cars. There are 2 divisions: TNT (older kids) and Adults and/or Sparks & Cubbies (younger kids). Obviously, we all know who really does the work on the little kids' cars...hence the adult category. Breanna placed 3rd for design this year with her pink fairy car. I think it crossed the line once. We are going to focus more on speed next year, and maybe we can all cross the finish line, at least...hopefully. Nevertheless, it was good fun for all!
It seems like yesterday--literally--that Aidan was headed off to his first day of kindergarten. Now he has less than 2 weeks left. One of the events that always seems to mark the end of the school year is Games Day. Aidan and his class walked to the nearby park and happily participated in Games Day this year. I was able to follow and take a few pictures of the giggles and grins that were so easy on this warm spring day. By the way, that scooter that Aidan is sitting on and pushing himself with plungers is indeed a toilet seat. They assured us that they were not used prior to this day...
Another event that marks the end of the school year is the AWANA Award Ceremony. Like I said previously, both kids attended this year. Breanna got her book 1 award...and a coupon for free Cold Stone ice cream. She and Mommy already used it, but don't tell Daddy. Aidan didn't finish his book this year, but we'll get caught up next year. He still had a lot of fun and enjoyed bringing his friend, Gavin, with him the 2nd half of the year.
This is Aidan at his point in the award ceremony. He cracks me up because whenever he does anything like this, he "stands at attention" just like a Marine. He's so handsome...
With that, I will sign off for now. Enjoy the pictures. I do actually have some writing in progress for this blog, but it is *obviously* not finished yet. It may be a few days before it gets done. I actually have to write a paper for my karate class to get my orange belt in a few weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.
