we went strawberry picking today.

it was lovely!!

we picked several buckets for us and langstons.

the girls did great at finding and picking the berries,

kale mostly ate the berries.

i think we will make it a yearly tradition!

feel better

kales little friend, logan broke his arm.

kale was very worried about him

so we got a little care package together and took it over.

it was so nice to see kale so concerned for someone else.

he is such a sweet boy!

presents for ms wurm

liv had such a great year in kindgarten!! 

she just loves her teacher, ms wurm.

we made a canvas bag for ms wurm to say thanks for all her hard work!

liv was so excited to gave it to her.

inside of a piano

today was one of those weird days.

i wanted to have mallory look inside the piano while i played to

watch the keys move. 

she couldn't see if very well so i took the piano apart.

the kids thought it was sooo cool.

then i saw how gross and dirty it was.

then i had to clean it. 

mal and kale wanted to keep the piano open to show liv when she got home!!

liv thought it was pretty cool too!

2 goals!

these girls are doing so great with soccer!

they are scoring more every game and starting to understand the game more.

it is so awesome to see them play and try and do their best.

i want to be a soccer mom!!!

all sorts of stuff

we had russel and leah over again.

they are moving tomorrow!  boo.

the kids were very busy today. 

they jumped on the tramp, had tea parties, popsicles and played!

i was getting out the tea party stuff for the girls and both these boys said they

wanted to have a tea party too.

they thought it was pretty fun!

these girls love to do make up!

snap

funny story.

randomly i taught olivia how to snap today.

she happily went off to school.

this is what she came home with.

band aids on her thumb and finger

because she had blisters from snapping!!
i LOVE this girl!!

argh

kale got some awesome pirate prizes for going to potty.

by mid afternoon he had all the pirate gear on!

a miracle

this boy is almost potty trained!!

it is a miracle. 

i saw an idea on pinterest to get some potty prizes

and give them for going potty.

we went to target today and i bought some prizes thinking we would

start potty training soon.

well, kale had other ideas.

he saw those prizes and wanted them!

we went home and he got on the potty until he finally went.

it was so funny to see his face when he finally "got it"!

he has gotten better all day today and it doing great!!

we are almost out of diapers....

awesome!!!!
