Happy June!

A pretty low key week with rain that kept us in the house during the week.  We finally received Ayson's Boehm-3 and DIAL Preschool test results (to let us know that he was all set for Kindergarten...even though we already attended Kindergarten orientation...).  It was interesting to read the reports and to learn what is expected of Kindergartners.  Addie is doing well but we are trying to get her to stop sucking her thumb.  As a baby step, Mommy only wants Addie to suck her thumb during naps and at night and not when she is just tired or needs comfort.

On Monday, Ayson brought home pictures from last Friday's Class picture in support of Casi.  The below 2 pictures are the kids in Ayson's afternoon Pre-K class (Casi is in the morning Pre-K).






The kids LOVE to check the rain gauge and it rained Monday-Wednesday so there was plenty of opportunity to check!  Daddy has already had to order a replacement rain gauge...he probably should have ordered more than one :)  The glass gauge sits in the cute frog figurine holding an umbrella...too cute for a kiddo to resist!



A walk in the yard on Friday afternoon.






Bouncing with Mumma!



On Saturday morning, we went to the BIG park so that the kids could go fishing (Daddy caught a trout!).  The kids also played on the playground equipment, rode their bikes, and visited with Ayson's classmates that were playing T-ball.  What a great morning!





Daddy's trout!



Addie LOVES to sit in the "little" swing so that Mommy can push her high!



Saturday afternoon, we took Gianna's suggestion and placed the sprinkler under the trampoline. What a BLAST!  Auntie HOlly, have you tried out the trampoline/sprinkler fun before?



Mommy got in on the fun too!



The kids helping Mommy husk the corn on the cob for dinner.  Ayson and Daddy went to the store during Addie's nap to buy fish (fish dinner on the brain from Saturday morning...Daddy did not keep the trout from the Big park) and Ayson picked out the corn.


Mmmm



Grilled trout


Eating corn on the cob is a messy production!



S'mores time!



Mommy was all out of graham crackers so we used what we had around the house: mini vanilla wafers that were fused together. Mommy had to pour out the box of wafers to find enough "twin" wafers to make 3 S'mores :)



Addie letting her S'more cool



Hi Gianna!



Playing on the trampoline after the sugar rush



Playing a counting game where they would count to a certain number and then all fall down



On Sunday, we discovered a garter snake that lives under/behind the back porch (the porch is a fall project for Daddy to rip out and replace some time in the next 2-5 years :)  The kids were fascinated with the snake and kept waiting for the snake to make an appearance.



More trampoline/sprinkler fun spiced up with beach balls.  Daddy would throw the ball in and Ayson would throw it back out.  Both boys were having a ton of fun!



The past couple of weeks, Ayson has been learning about farm, pond, and ocean life and things at the beach.
Ayson made a  frog on a lily pad!
