We’ve been super busy the last few days. Aren’t the weekends supposed to be for relaxing? After a busy night at the M’s game, I had to get up early, early and take my things down to the Mom’s Consignment sale in Winslow. Got some things sold (disappointing turn out to say the least and I only made $150) and out of the house and have others still priced so maybe we’ll have a sale here soon to get rid of it. Lots of cute boys summer clothes 12 months-3t (call me if you wanna come look!) and cheap prices.

Anyhow, after the sale we had more photo viewings from the portrait party and then the boys all had eye appts. Turns out the both Levi and Trey are pretty typically far sighted (that will most likely resolve itself) and Carlos is near sighted (which most likely will get worse rather than better). Mary was out in the garden when we got back and we decided we needed a grown-ups night out. Carolyn came and hung out with the crew while we went to Ghandi for some amazing Indian food and then Mary and I went to see Sex in the City while Dee (who refused to see the chick flick) went to see Ironman. All in all, a nice break.

Sunday Nana and I took Carlos to the Guatemalan Picnic down in Winslow. Some great food, lots of kids running around who look like Carlos. It was fun and always good to get him in that environment. He wanted to play on his own, which wasn’t surprising, but we all enjoyed it and he loved having the time alone with just Mama K and Nana.

While we were at the picnic, Dee took Trey and Levi over to play in the shop at Patti and Jeanie’s. They always love it there. Like typical boys they ran around and got dirty and Trey scuffed up his face when he took a nose first dive into their driveway. The big treat was that they got to see the kittens…so cute! They are trying so hard to get us to bring a kitty home. It’s hard to say no, because there is a little grey female that I would totally choose. My grandma used to read me the story of Mimi the Merry-Go-Round Cat over and over and over and it goes something like this: “Mimi was a kitten, a soft, gray kitten, a blue eyed kitten. Mimi had many friends….” Anyhow, because of this book I’ve always wanted a little gray kitten. We’ll see.

Today was the last day of preschool, I’m not good with change. It’s not about the boys being gone for a couple hours during the day that I am sad, it’s about missing seeing the teachers and getting the support we depend on. I like routine, it’s just who I am. But summer will be fun and we have lots of things planned. Hoping to hit a bunch of parks, take some family hikes as well as swimming lessons, camps and maybe soccer and LOTS of time hanging out in the backyard.

Naptime’s just about over….time to wrap it up! Hello summer vacation.
