Last Week of Preschool (sniff)

Yup, it is here.  It's been an entire year of preschool, and tomorrow is the last day.  And while at the beginning of the year I was wondering what I would do with those 7.5 hours a week while Toby was at school, I now find myself asking...

"What the heck will I do with him those extra 7.5 hours a week?"

School has been beyond good for him and I've learned the beauty of grocery shopping with only one child.  I am going to miss that all summer, for sure!  Not to mention he has a severe case of Spring Fever and his behavior has been marginal at best.

Eh, it would really help if the weather would dry out enough to really get out and play, but t-ball has been cancelled 2 weeks out of 3 so far.  Maybe we'll get lucky and be able to play tomorrow.

But I am going to be one  sad mama tomorrow at preschool pickup. 

At least they run summer camp and I already have the kids signed up for a week (yes, they did open it up for 3-5 year olds so both kids are in!  Woohoo!).  And between metroparks activities and library activities we shouldn't have a week with nothing to do...but it's still going to be a long long summer.

A Whole New Me...ahem, rather, US!

Short Hair!

Ready to chop it off!

One last look at those long locks

And she ages a year in 5 minutes

It's really all gone!

But much cooler for summer :)

First t-ball practice!

pictures!  As you can tell, we all had haircuts in the last week - I think Lucy and I are both enjoying less weight on our heads since it's terribly hot out all of a sudden!

This was also the first t-ball practice for the year - for Lucy, it's her first team sport.  They were so stinking excited to go, and both did really well.  They had a blast and Lucy's already counting down to next Wednesday so she can go play again!

We've been spending a lot of time outside this week - and using our new picnic table for lunches and snacks!  I think it's a good thing as it's supposed to cool off again this weekend.

Last night we had a kindergarten orientation meeting for Toby...sigh.  He's definitely ready for kindy, but it breaks my heart to send him away all week like that...but it had to happen sometime I suppose.  And I know it's good for him - he will blossom at school.  But i'll miss him!

Flying pig!

There were pigs everywhere!

We all had a great time at the Flying Pig yesterday in Cincy - ok, so were weren't running the real deal full marathon, but the 5k was awesome - 3000 runners!  I came in 749th, if that tells you anything :) - actually, given how slow I was in high school, it was pretty cool to come in faster than half the people!  Curtis had a great race and made better time than he hoped for.  We're both tired today, but it's a good tired, like we did something really awesome :)

The kids had fun at the kids races too - and both earned their medal!  We're all wearing out matching Flying Pig teeshirts today (oh yes we are!), and proud of them.  It was an awesome time, and I look forward to doing it again!
