PROJECT 365 - Day 158 - Concert
Tonight was The Bear and The Princess' 2nd grade concert at school. They sang - The Bear played the drum - The Princess played the maracas. They rocked that auditorium! On a side note - somehow, although they got dressed separately and with no help or guidance from me they ended up matching. :-) I'm not gonna lie - I LOVE that! My twins sort of looked like twins!
PROJECT 365 - Day 157 -Celebration!
Tonight we had the two soccer teams, that My Wonderful Husband coaches, over for an "end of season ice cream party celebration".
Scotland United and Scotland Cosmos each had a great spring season!!
PROJECT 365 - Day 156 - She jumped!
We had a fun afternoon BBQ at our friends' house. The parents got to hang and chat. The kids all went swimming together and had tons of fun. My 6 year old dare devil, succeeded in making me cringe on numerous occasions....I tried to start averting my eyes.... When he discovered the added fun of jumping off of a diving board, he was thrilled! "This is what I like" I believe were his words. My friend thought he was going to say "This is what I'm talking about!"....close enough. :-) So The Boy did not hesitate to climb up on the diving board and jump off. As I told my friend, I am pretty sure that if she had told him that at their house it was the custom to jump off of the roof into the pool, he would have been game. I know, I think I am in trouble.... The Bear also loved the diving board and was performing tricks by the end of the day - jumping off and catching a ball at the same time. But this was not the case with The Princess. She "looks before she leaps" so to speak.... She deliberates. She contemplates. She gets on the diving board and gets off. A few times. She wanted to do it, but was understandably nervous about taking the plunge for the first time. We cheered her on but she needed to get there on her own. Finally, my friend suggested that it be the picture of the day and that seemed to motivate The Princess to overcome her fear....for the good of Project 365! haha :-) So I grabbed my camera and she jumped! Just in time too - because The Boy was tired of waiting for his turn!
PROJECT 365 - Day 155 - Frozen Treats
After a morning spent at the park playing the last soccer games of the season, the kids were a bit wiped out. We spent the rest of the day at home chillin' and playing. I shared a favorite treat of mine with the kids - frozen Capri Suns! Yum!!
PROJECT 365 - Day 154 - Yard Sale Goodies...
Today was our annual community yard sale. Now, officially, the purpose of organizing the yard sale is to get rid of things we are no longer using, make room for new things, and make a little money. The unofficial purpose of organizing the yard sale is to find some goodies!!!! This year's haul takes the cake - a bike for The Princess, two shelves for me, a pretty little Christmas tree (b/c one can never have too many Christmas decorations....), a cool new game for family game night, some doll clothes that are not pictured, (not to mention some clothes that our neighbor gave to The Princess and a cool soccer jersey our other neighbor gave to The Bear, and yes, that is a Wii!!!!! We pretty much broke even this year, but it was totally worth it! We found some awesome yard sale goodies. :-)
PROJECT 365 - Day 153 - Kickball
The kids went outside after dinner to play kickball or their version of kickball..... In a stellar move, The Boy avoids an out by slipping past his brother and running for home. The Princess was safe on second and clearly worried about The Boy making it home. The Boy, on the other hand, was as cool as a cucumber.... The Bear attempted a "Hail Mary" type throw to get The Boy out, but just missed him. It was some riveting kickball......
PROJECT 365- Day 152 - Buzzing.....
The Bear earned this big stuffed bee from library today. He was buzzing with excitement and pride!! (couldn't resist...heeheehee...)
