June 13 - 30

Horsing around on grandpa:

P2 graduated from Upstart. It is a great program and she is beginning to read!

Cute little boy: 

We did a session of swim lessons in June. P1 had to be in the big kid class now that he is 6. They were both in level 2. P2 was a little nervous to be in a class with P1, but once she finally got in she did great. They both had fantastic teachers! Something finally clicked for P1, and he can now swim by himself! That was so fun to watch, and I am so proud of him!

P3 didn't love swim lessons, because he didn't get to swim. Poor baby. But he found other ways to entertain himself. Thankfully the lessons are only 25 minutes long!

Just lounging in a giant box of stuffed animals:

Splash party at a friend's house! Poor P3 was shivering the whole time in the water. He just has no body fat!

P3 rockin' the outfit he picked out:

Sword fighting (P3's favorite activity):

We did a craft class at Michael's with our friends. They made slime!

Waiting at the doctor's office for P2's 5 year check up:

P1 and P2 drew Buzz Lightyear:

 Playing at McDonald's:

T-Ball

P1 did T-ball this year. It was a bit more intense than soccer (which was only once a week). We had games on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the practice on Friday. Games were an hour long and would start at 5:30, 6:30 or 7:30. For the late games, one of us would take P1 and the other would put the younger two to bed.

P1 made a lot of improvement this season. By the end, he was able to hit some of the coach pitches.

P3 catches on quickly. He is our natural athlete. Here he is hitting toys off of the t-ball stand.

Birthday Party

P2 had a Princess Leia birthday party. At first we were only going to invited girls, but since 3 of her girl friends were out of town, we decided to invited some boys. I made Princess Leia headbands for the girls, and Yoda ears for the boys.

The kids built droids: 

They all made Ewok puppets:

 

And they made their own light sabers:

From her friends she received: a Jasmine Lego set, Jasmine dress up accessories, a giant princess coloring book with glitter markers, a water coloring set, and a baby doll. All the girls wanted to try on the Jasmine accessories!

Birthday cupcakes:

Having fun with her presents:

It was a fun party with no major mishaps!
