Last Day of School

-


So, you may be asking yourself, why would we care about the last day of school? I'll save you the suspense and tell you. Dustin is a school teacher. This means that as of June 5th he now has the summer off! To celebrate his summer freedom and national donuts day we went to the Kemah Boardwalk to play in the dancing fountains and then to Shipley's Donuts for our celebratory snack (the nearest Crispy Cream was in Austin!!! I guess Houston can't be totally perfect). Here are a few pics of our fun afternoon.



Loyd kept wandering away from the fountain. I don't think he was too in to playing in the water that day. He preferred to pull at the plants.



We had a few rare moments where Rebekah got him into the spirit of summer. I just love this picture.



Rebekah got her workout for the day. She ran around trying to catch the water as it shot up for over an hour. She was very wet and tired when we decided to leave, but she had a wonderful time. She wanted to go back the very next day. Good thing these fountains are free!

We took our kids to DisneyWorld when they were about the same age as your kids. The best part: the free water fountain very similar to the one in the photo. They played for about 2 hours (9-11pm) and drew a crowd of 100 or so. Good times.

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
