May 22, 2012 - PreSchool Open House

The boys had their open house on today.  I LOVED Red Room's theme of A Bugs Life.  They are learning so much about numbers, shapes, measurement, insects & their life cycle, and practicing motor skils in a fun way :)
* I love Daniel's answer to what he wants to be when he grows up :)

 

May 20, 2012 - Waiting for the Eclipse

Church...errands...cleaning...AN ECLIPSE!  

Sunday's imminent eclipse was all over the news the entire weekend.  The time was near and we eagerly went out in the hopes of catching a glimpse of this annular eclipse. I sat like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive; the view was okay, but nothing like that of Denver, Albuquerque, or Tokyo.



May 19, 2012 -" Kiddie K" Fun Run

We skipped karate and swim lessons to participate in the "Kiddie K" Fun Run.  I couldn't help but flashback to two years ago when they last participated.  The boys were still using pacifiers, and I was pushing them in the double stroller.   This time around, I was racing after Anthony who took off like a bullet behind the other kids.  Little Daniel, on the other hand, did just the opposite.  He walked the 1/4 mile with his dad since he clearly was not too thrilled with the hustle and bustle or the large crowd.  I loved that every kid's number was #1 and that a medal  was bestowed upon each by a police officer at the finish line.  After the race, we toured the police department, checked out some of the health fair booths, saw a K9 presentation, and ended our day with some bounce house fun.

May 12, 2012 - Whittier Founder's Day

After I'd taken the boys to karate and swim lessons, we made our way over to Whittier's 118th Founder's Celebration.  The event, held at Central Park, had games for the kids, booths, music, and food. Cleaning house would have to wait yet again. Boys just wanna have fun!
** A photographer from the Whittier Daily News took a picture of the boys and ran it on the front page of Sunday's paper :)
