Cole's preschool music program

So last week I got to go to Cole's preschool and watch their music program. Since school is almost over, they wanted to show the parents what songs the kids has learned this year. After watching, I'm not sure Cole learned any. As you can see from the pictures, he pretty much just sat there trying to look invisible. I definitely don't think I have an actor on my hands. Oh well, I guess he'll have to be a surgeon.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to my mother and all you other mothers out there. I have to say I had a pretty good day. Cole made me a mug and gave me some tea that his preschool put together. Riley let me sleep in and he got up with the kids. He went to the store first thing and got me a hanging flower plant just like I asked for and then came back and made me breakfast. He did a bunch of yard work and I just relaxed most of the day. I had planned on finishing Twilight, but I just couldn't stand it and stayed up until 12:30 Saturday night to finish it. I can't wait to get started on the second one.

My kids Rock

Aren't they adorable!!!

Birthday Party

So one of Cole's preschool friends has his birthday party this weekend and the kids got to dress up as their favorite superhero. Thank goodness Cole was spiderman for Halloween. It was the biggest birthday party for a five year old I've ever been too. They had a huge bouncy house that all the kids loved and enough food for an army. Too bad my son had to throw a fit when it was time to go. He apparently wasn't ready and I got to carry him out kicking and screaming infront of everybody. I was a little mortified, especially since he goes to school with a bunch of the kids that were there. I'm sure all the moms were either laughing at the situation because they've been there themselves or talking about me behind my back. Either way, Cole got a spanking when we got to the car and a nap when we got home.

Rainy weekend at home

Well we had a pretty good weekend. Saturday was actually pretty nice when the wind wasn't blowing. We got up early and went to Winco over in Spokane. I'm very excited that they opened one up over there. It really does save money grocery shopping there. At 11:00 I took the boys to the park and met one of Cole's preschool friends there for a playdate and picnic. That afternoon while the boys were sleeping Riley and I moved the lawn just in time for the rain to come down. We watched Australia Saturday night. It was a very good movie. Sunday was pretty rainy. Besides leaving the house for Cole to get his hair cut, we pretty much stayed indoors. Cole and I built him a fort in the living room while Finn took his nap. Hope everyone else had a good weekend too.

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter. Cole was so excited. He told me "Mom, I can't believe how good the Easter bunny was to me". That made me feel really good. He got money and candy, so he's a very happy boy. He loved coloring the Easter eggs, but got upset with me when I went to make deviled eggs out of them. He didn't understand why I was ruining his eggs he colored. We had our friends Trevor and Tina and their kids over for Easter dinner. It was a really nice day.

Welcoming Brodie

My sister Kristin finally had her baby last night, a little after 7:00 p.m. She'd been in labor since 1:30 a.m. so it was a very long day for her. Her doctor finally decided she needed to have a C-section. Thank goodness. Brodie Joseph weighed in at 10lb7oz, 22.5 inches long. He's definitely a healthy little guy. Hopefully I'll have pictures to post soon.
