On the last day of school Dawson greeting his brother and sister at the bus stop with squirt bottles for a little water celebration.
Summer reading has begun! Mike told me today that our couch always looks like a library. That's great to hear!
We just finished the book The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. It based on the true story of a gorilla named Ivan who was taken from the jungle in Africa and lived in a shopping mall in Washington for twenty years. The kids really enjoyed this story. We had Ivan's favorite foods: fried chicken with banana pie for desert. I haven't served fried chicken in pretty much forever, but the kids LOVED it. I got it from the grocery store deli and they ate tons! The banana pie however was not a hit. Carter hates pudding, Ava and Dawson like bananas but not fake banana flavor. I guess that isn't such a bad thing. Oh and Ivan loved to finger paint, so we decorated our table using finger paint!
Ivan liked to finger paint with his nose, so Ava and Dawson had to try this method.
Kind of surprising, Dawson was more messy than Ava!
I love catching my kiddos reading, so I must apologize for all these pictures. Carter brought a chapter book to Ava's softball game and finished it!
For Memorial Day we visited the field of heroes.
The twins walking around holding hands, so sweet.
Three beautiful kids, growing up so fast. If all kids could have a Momma like Tracey what a wonderful world it would be. Meme
