His first day of Pre-K

And his last day of Pre-K (last day in uniform at least!)

Carter will be out of school later this week - what a year it has been, I can't believe Pre-K is over but am very confident he's going to love Kindergarten when he gets there in the fall. He's grown so much this year - in inches and respect - his yes mam's never get old nor does his ever growing love for his friends and learning. Bring on summer!

Linc's first real play date

As the 2nd child, Linc hasn't gotten umm, any all about him play dates until this week when Molly came to play. They had a great time and both said they wanted to do it again! They were so sweet with one another, now he has an official little buddy for preschool. Aren't they cute?

Lincoln decided he'd cut the grass for daddy this week - he didn't finish all of it but made a little dent! He also insisted that I take a picture of "Little Guy" aka Theodore, but don't call him Theodore he's Little Guy or Little Guy-Guy. He's a funny little character.

yep, he's hanging from the fence!

Pre-K hosts Mass

Carter and his chum, Cameron

Carter & his class hosted mass last week - they were SO cute! They sang their hearts out and got to have a cookie party following mass with their chums (Carter insisted that we take "Grandma cookies" for the party). Taking pictures was a little challenging because it was hard to see the kids with all of the parents flocked around with their cameras and video cameras!

The rest of the day...

This is what Carter constructed while the rest of us napped on Easter day - it is some sort of fort built from random items in my bedroom - we did agree to turn on the t.v. for him after I realized he was gathering many, many items that would then have to be put away! Notice the Easter eggs in his sock he placed in the middle with some pictures - he even decorated this fort.

This is his "I've been up since 4 AM" face

Note the flying grass...

The boys were so excited about the bunny visit this year - maybe even more so than Santa's. Carter said he could barely go to sleep because he was SO excited. Lincoln barely did go to sleep, he slept and was up at 4 to go to the bathroom and started his egg hunt then, somehow Sean contained him until about 6 when the rest of the house was forced into Easter action and the egg hunt proceeded (after I put some of the eggs back that Linc had piled up before the official start of the hunt.) The bunny had LOTS of eggs this year, we were finding them all day long!

Carter has a very specific theory about where the bunny lives - he's certain that the bunny lives in Oregon like his friends Robby & William. He says that the bunny would like it there because there are lots of outdoor things to do and it would be a good place for him. I couldn't disagree with this theory and since I've never heard an official residence of the bunny I think we will go with Oregon!
