Jeffrey's Last day of Kindergarten

Jeffrey had a lot of fun at Kindergarten this year.  He loved learning to read, and had so much fun with his classmates.  We enjoyed a final music program by Jeffrey's kindergarten class and Jeffrey went on a kindergarten field trip.  All the Corl Street Kindergarteners walked to Mrs. Shoemakers house for lunch and games.  The teachers also threw water balloons at the kids! 

His last two days at school, Jeffrey ate the school lunch!  He chose Chicken Nuggets and Warm Soft Cheese Pretzel.  On the last day we walked home, Jill the crossing guard gave Jeffrey and Meredith popsicles and bubbles as an end of the year treat.  Jeffrey has grown so much this year, we have truly enjoyed our first year of school at Corl Street. 

Meredith's Last Day of Terrific Two's Class

Yesterday Meredith had her last day of school.  It was hard to get an end of the year picture because she was grumpy about school ending.  I bribed her with 2 m&ms and that mostly worked. Meredith and her class spent most of the day at Central Parklet (the small park next to their school) and in the big room. On her second to last day they ate fudgesicles and played in the sand box at the parklet.  It has been so much fun for the kids at school these last few weeks!

Memorial Day Fun

Memorial Day weekend, Mike and I walked the Black Moshannon 5K.  We had a babysitter watch the kids and drove up to the park for a chilly but sunny walk.  It was a beautiful morning with the sunlight sparkling off the water, next year we are planning on the 10K walk.  Then we enjoyed some crepes and coffee at the local cafe.  It was a great start to the weekend.

I finished!

 Although it was a cool weekend, it wasn't too cold for our kids to go swimming at the pool!  Jeffrey and Mike went to Welch Pool on Saturday and we all went to Park Forest Pool on Sunday and Monday.  (I didn't get wet though, too cool for me!)  Meredith loved the toddler pool, she even liked the buckets that dumped water on her head.  And Jeffrey spent the entire time going down the yellow water slide!  He was tired after all those stairs. 

We ate lots of cheeseburgers and hotdogs, and finished up with a backyard 'campfire' in our old Coleman grill for toasting marshmallows and eating s'mores.  Just a few more days of school for the kids, then its summer vacation.
