Field Day

Olivia’s school had their yearly Field Day to celebrate the end of school approaching.  There were all sorts of games, but the water games are what everyone seemed to be looking forward to.  I took the morning off of work to go watch her participate in all the fun.  We both had a great time and she even got to come home early from school that day.  School year 1 is almost out, 1 more week!

First wave of fun before the water challenges.

Last wave of non-water activities

Haircut

Thought I would give a quick 47 second glimpse into Jake getting his hair cut.  “Grandpa cut my hair” he said afterwards.

 

Dolphin

Brooke found a slug in the back yard the other day, and showed it to Jake.  Unlike his sister, he was a little hesitant to see it, and certainly didn’t want to touch it.  He thought it was a “dolphin”.  Too funny.

The Big 3

Jake turned 3 Thursday.  We had a small celebration at home with cake and a few gifts.  We will have a party next weekend when Auntie Stephie, Uncle CJ and Emma are in town.

When Jake saw his candles we told him to blow them out, but he decided to put one out with his finger.  He got a surprise when he felt how hot it was, and he burnt his little finger pretty bad.  Got a little blister from it even.  Poor Jake.

 

The Mind of a 6 Year-Old

Olivia went to the Zoo with School last Wednesday, and started to learn about extinction.  For some reason, she thinks that people that speak different languages are extinct, especially “Indians”.

 

St. Patrick’s Day

Today was St. Patrick’s Day, and the leprechaun didn’t disappoint.  He was up to his mischief again.  He also has a new nickname, Jake can’t say leprechaun, so he calls him “corn”.  Made me laugh.  He also calls lucky charms “monkey charms”.

 

Day Before Valentines Day

Livi and Jake received a package from Grandma and Grandpa for Valentines day.  We let them open it early.
