Mother's Day

Luke wanted to vacuum this morning. That might top the other treats I received today in honor of being this awesome kid's mom!

Luke, it is a pleasure to parent you. You are kind, smart & clever, and I am so proud of you!

Heading to brunch soon with our awesome moms to celebrate together!

Hope any & every mom reading this has a great day :)

Quotes

Two quotes in one day.

'Who wants the big trophy for being the bestest person in the world?'

I told him Luke should get the trophy & he said, 'no, it's for you, mommy'

A while later...
'Mommy, you are a real nutball & I am going to ask Obama to kick you off Earth'

Pretty nice balance, eh?

Favorite!

Saw Alyssa @ pickup today...she is the best babysitter!! Took time away from her break to play with Luke as we walked out :)

Ready...

Luke made the 'be quiet' sign for the eggs incubating. He LOVED this unit. 9 chicks hatched & will shortly go back to the farm. Very Cool!








A little evidence I wanted to document that our Luke is ready for the learning & adventures of kindergarten! I treasure the 'ha, ha, ha!' so much.

I asked him today if he was going to be an actor, but he is sticking to the career choice of pilot. He did hint that he might go into acting once he is done being a pilot. That is his father's common sense coming through. Whew!

Personal day!

Slept in a little, took L to school late, brunch with dear friends, picked Luke up early, lunch with Luke & a surprise visit from Daddy, errands with my little helper, walked with him & crazy dogs, planted some lettuce & flowers with my budding gardener, spread more of the never ending pile of mulch, made a Luke inspired dinner of swiss chard wraps, enjoyed the WHOLE day!! Thankful for all of the above and especially for my 'bread sword' wielding son. :)

My ninja boys

What an awesome duo! XOXO





Luke picked Steve's shirt out for his birthday :)

Graduation Day!

Luke's Pre-k graduated yesterday! It was a great little ceremony with Luke leading his class out, a brief description of each student-Luke was described as the 'morning greeter', a class song & class poem. Each student was then announced & received a certificate of completion for Pre-k.

The favorite part for Luke was the party afterwards where he ate cake & cookies until he was stuffed & had a blast swinging at the piñata.

This is a great group of smart & loved kids moving on to Kindergarten. I hope I see them all in nine years starting high school still full of the joy & love that surrounds them today!
