End of School Days

Ryan had his last day of school yesterday. They had a picnic in the park and all 4 preschool classes put on a performance for all the other classes and parents. It was very cute. Ryan's class did the Very Hungry Catepillar and Ryan was the apple. He was a great apple (except for trying to take his costume off immediately after being 'eaten' by the catepillar). I'm sure that Ryan will miss school after little break from it, he really thrives on the structure. My mom came down to visit and see the performance before she heads back to work next week, so we all went out for ice cream at McDonalds afterwards.

Here are the pictures comparing the first day to the last day of school.

This past weekend, Kris decided to finish painting the garage. This task has been on his 'to do' list since before Emma was born (we won't go into the microwave vent). So with nice enough and not too hot weather, he wanted to get it done with. The kids and I kept busy by going to the gym, taking naps and playing in the pool. Both the kids loved the pool and fought over the slide - one was always on each side which made using it very difficult. They also loved the garage sale look of our front yard since all the garage toys were moved outside for the painting. Here are some of the pictures from this weekend.

We started potty training Ryan for what I promise is the last time today. He's had 4 accidents, but they were after he had drank 2 full glasses of water - it was 4 times in just over an hour. None since then and he was dry when he got up from his nap. Emma is still giving us trouble over her nap schedule and continues to be tired around 11 am. Yesterday she napped in the morning for 2 hours and then again later in the day. Today, she napped in the morning and then cried for over an hour this afternoon before giving into to sleep. If she only takes an afternoon nap she sleeps for about 3 hours which is great - but seems so tired by 11 that it's hard to keep her up. We'll figure it out some day I'm sure.

Also, the post below is new also. I posted it earlier today. I'm a little behind!
