Beach Day

Today was a family beach day.  The kids love the beach.  They have so much fun digging in the sand and playing in the water.  They come home exhausted!  Here they are modeling their beachwear. A long sleeve swim top is a must at the beach for Ben.  Kate likes to wear her swim top so she can look like a surfer.  She is also wearing the paper tie she made for Jesse at school.  On the back there are some questions the teachers asked about the dads.  A couple of my favorites:   What does your dad like to eat?  "Everything" and What is your dad good at? "Chasing my brother."  That he is!!!

Ben tumbles

Ben sitter, Nelly, took him to a gym class at the local park this year.  He loves it and often asks "I go clatt (class).  I get tamp (stamp)."  I got to take him to the last few class and it was very fun to see him be such a big boy following directions and doing all kinds of tumbling moves.

Goodbye Pre-K

Kate had her end of the year show yesterday.  Each Pre-K class sang about a Jewish holiday.  Kate and her class sang about Hannukah.  It is hard to believe that she will be moving on to Kindergarten next year.  Enjoy the show!!

Ben Speaks

When asked how old he is Ben replies "I big two."

Ben's Track

Ben has recently started to use toys and really play with them.  He makes car noises, moves things around, and makes the "people" talk.  Here he is with a train track that he built himself.  As can be seen, he is very proud of himself.

Flower Children

Kate is preparing for her fourth time around as a flower girl.  This time it will be for her Auntie Kerri and Uncle Andy's wedding in July.  Her dress came in the mail today so I had her try it on to make sure it fit.  Ben saw that she was putting on a fancy dress and decided that he also needed to put one on as well.  That boy does not like to be left out of anything!!

Kid Funnies

A couple of funnies from the kids.

Upon arriving a a park that overlooks the ocean Ben calls out "yook (look), Mama, yook.  A pool."

After asking me what unforgettable means Kate says "kind of like we just had an unforgettable earthquake."
