First tooth!

Kendra lost her first tooth today! Actually, she quite literally lost it! It was there before lunch and after a hot-dog lunch it wasn't there anymore! I'm not sure if I have the heart to tell her where I'm pretty sure it is! She was very excited but then very worried that the tooth fairy wouldn't come if she didn't have the actual tooth. However, after I explained that I thought the tooth fairy would be quite understanding if she wrote her a letter explaining what had happened. A '1-tooth-missing' smile appeared once again and she was off to write a letter. We'll see how understanding that tooth fairy really is as this is her first trip to this household!

T-ball - as a 5 year old!

We signed Kendra up for Inter-church T-ball this spring. It is a 8 week, once a week T-ball league for ages 5-7. Kendra was VERY excited to be going and felt quite grown-up with her little pink glove. Here she is sitting in line waiting for her turn to hit the ball. Finally, Kendra's turn to hit!

Taking a turn in the outfield, Kendra has discovered, is not as much fun as hitting the ball.

"I'm ready, really I am!!!"

Eventually the pull to pick buttercups was just too much to resist!

Planting Day!

There are some days that just turn out to be 'good days'. So far, today is one of those. A good night's sleep, an absolutely gorgeous day, kids playing outside, baby having a good nap and flowers to be planted. The kids were very excited about helping me plant - they each wanted to be in charge of one pot. I love looking at flowers but have never been a great gardener but we try anyway! So, off we went.

First step: gather all supplies Step two: Fill pots with dirt and begin making holes for the plants.

Step three: Add water.

Step 4: Place pots in their garden / deck spots.

This is Kendra's sunflower plant that she planted from a seed in her preschool. We're hoping we can keep it growing and see a sunflower at the end of the summer!
