May 2013
Once again really behind...
5/31 - Kasey's last day of 3s at AppleCreek. Greg and I took her up there to get few pictures and give teachers gift. It was fun. Kind of sad to see those teachers go. Ms Melinda's last day.
We went to one baseball game for some other 1st grade teams. It was fun to watch, until Kasey threw complete fit because we wouldn't let her have piece of gum. I ended up carrying her to the car. Not fun times.
Landon got Knight of the week for the 3rd time this year this week.
5/28 - I had my last board meeting as President of AppleCreek Preschool. we had dinner at Mi Conina. It was nice and enjoyed some time with ladies
5/27 - we had a pretty lazy Memorial day. Slept in some, I had a short PTA meeting, and then we ate lunch at home. Spent most of the morning watching how it's made and Magic Revealed with the kids. In the afternoon we went to the pool. The Cracknells were there. I was one of few parents getting in water because it's still cool, and so I had several kids jumping to me and hanging on as we went around the pool. We had fun through. Greg was throwing football with the boys so they had fun with that as well. Kasey is doing really well swimming but we still have someone in the big pool with her because she gets a bit confident.
We got home from dinner and Kasey says Landon's head is warm. I will take care of him so you don't have to. His head wasn't warm...
She laid down on blanket in the living room and both kids try to tell us they weren't tired. Kasey says I'm laying here with no reason. They were both tired though. They had been up late for 2-3 nights.
5/26 - We had going away party for the Turners. It was just the 4 families on our block that hang out together. We had great food, margaritas (thanks Greg), and good company. The kids had a great time in the pool and playing upstairs and the parents go to visit. We really avoided the discussion of the Turners leaving because it makes all of us sad to see them go. We wish them the best in their new adventures and hope to keep up on Facebook and such.
5/25 - Today was my last 8:15am aerobics class. They are cancelling it because of low attendance and they can't really find teacher for it. I've been going to that class since after graduation so it s been a long time.
Greg had bought some clothes for Kasey. He showed them to her in the morning. She really likes animal prints because one of her teacher really likes them. One of the skirts was Zebra like print. Kasey yells Oh Yea, give me 5. It was hilarious.
Kasey was getting ready for bday party. I asked her if we could brush her hair before going. She said no. I asked why not, she said because I'm a horrible daughter (not sure where that came from).
We split up for Bday parties. Greg dropped Landon off at Cosmic jump for a class mate party. Kasey and I went to a party where she got to ride a horse (for first time). She had fun. They also have miniature horse pulling a little cart that the kids got to ride in. They played on playground, got faces painted, balloons (Kasey got a flower), and horse tattoos.
Greg took our kids and 3 other friends and a few dads to FC Dallas game. It was raining, but they still had fun. They got Moo Yah with milk shakes, and even candy at the game. Doug and Solis' were there so everyone had a good time. The kids got their picture with Hooper and some of the FC Dallas girls - Greg posted on facebook that they wanted their picture with the mascot :)
I got some time to myself. I went and did a little shopping, got some Pei Wei and hung out at home watching the Ugly Truth with some wine. It was nice!
5/24 - Greg and I got to go out on a date - it's been quite a while. We were going to go to Chamberlains, and then Greg changed it. Google often tells me where surprise dinners are. Today it told me Greg had searched for Perry's steakhouse so I thought we were going there. He kept it a secret until we were basically walking up to it, but we ended up at Capital Grill. There have been multiple dinners there that I have not been able to go to for various reasons. I was excited to get to go. We had a great edinner, but ordered to much so boxed some stuff up to take home. We decided that dessert at Seasons 52 sounded better with key lime pie and peanut butter/chocolate moose. So we took our Capital Grill to go boxes over to the other restaurant for a drink and dessert. Then we headed to movie theater to see Hangover III. The movie had funny parts and the scene in the credits was hilarious, but overall I liked the other 2 better.
5/19 - That morning Landon's nose started bleeding just a little bit. We had him lay down for a while which was really hard for him to do. Kasey would take him water, kleenex. She came up to me and said that she would take care of him so that we didn't have to worry about him. She was serious too.
We got to have donuts for breakfast which the kids loved. We got ready and headed out to Taste of Addison. it was warm, but it was fun to have Fogo de Chao, Chamberlains, Empanada and Sangria.
We even had some ice cream. After eating and hanging out with Dave and Elisabeth, we headed to the roller coasters so the kids could play. Landon and i got to go on a few rides. The Octopus and Storm. The storm was a little much but was fun.
Then we headed back. Picked up Tin Star for family birthday party. We had 16 people to the house for dinner, cake and to open Landon's presents. We had a good time, but we were all pretty tired.
5/18 - I went to work out. Apparently they are cancelling my 8:15am Saturday aerobics class. I'm sad. I've been going to that class almost since I graduated from college. A long time. I came home to get ready and took Kasey to a friends bday party. Kids had fun outside bouncing and playing. We had to leave early to get to Landon's baseball game. The boys played well, but the umpires stopped the game early so the team wasn't able to try and come back. Landon got 2 outs at 2nd base in one inning that they held to team to no runs.
After the game we came home. Kasey and I took little naps because we were tired. We had neighborhood party to go to at 5. They had street blocked off, had train for kids to ride on, a few bounce house type things, a picture booth, 4 kegs, and a bunch of food. The kids got to run around an dance with DJ, watch clown, get faces painted etc. It was a good time for all.
Of course the kids got to bed late again.
5/17 - I took the day off to finish decorating cakes for Landon's party.
I went to Kasey's class to read 2 books to them. I read 5 little Monkeys and Robert the Rose Horse which the kids seemed to like. They all did the jump up and down song at the end.
Landon turned 7 years old today. He woke up and we put a small package on his clothes that were set out. He opened it to find a #2 Johnny football shirt that he had wanted. He told us when he saw it was maroon that he thought we had wrapped up his other maroon shirt he had out to wear that day. He was pretty excited. That day at school he had World culture day where they got to learn about different countries. I had taken the day off so I got to go up there and have lunch with him. We had McDonalds as he wanted. Kyle and DJ Lynch were there eating lunch as well.
After lunch I went home to finish decorating Landon's cakes. Thursday night I had decorated a football and basketball, and then Friday I decorated baseballs (in shape of 7 per Greg's idea), and a soccer ball.
We had Landon's friend party. It was at a park/pavilion near Landon's school. We had several kids from Landon's class and some of their siblings as well. The boys played kickball, basketball and played on the playground. We had pizza, pizza rolls, fruit and veggies. Then we all had some of the sports cakes which were great.
I think everyone had fun. A few of the girls (Kasey, Peyton, Chloe and Aliie all made some mud and were playing in it. They got pretty dirty. I didn't expect the girls in dresses to be the big mess :)
We also had a friend Landon has known since he was 2 come by at the end of the party to hang out for a little while which was fun.
5/14 - We had Pixie end of season party today. Greg and I made softball field cake and some purple cupcakes for the girls. They got trophies, played some kickball with the older brothers and dads. We had a good time. it's been a fun season with the girls. We will see what Kasey decides to do in the fall :)
5/12 - We had good Mothers Day. Kids let us sleep til almost 8am which never happens. The kids gave me sweet homemade cards. Landon also made me a fun few pages about our favorite things.
The kids got me some earings an necklace for mothers day!
the kids and I made homemade card for Grammy - Kasey drew a person with a large belly button, Landon drew Grammy with Landon, Kasey and I, and I wrote down some things I think about a lot with my mom.
We went to lunch at Paesanos which we all love. We had great food, good company and wonderful dessert. Grammy and I both got beautiful earings for Mothers Day..
5/11 - We had a busy day as usual. I worked out then we headed to baseball/softball fields for most of the day. Landon's first game the boys came back and won 12 to 11. Landon got 2 outs at 2nd base to help get out of the last inning.
Then we went to Kaseys game. She got a few good hits and girls played pretty well. The team we played against only had 4 players which was a little weird. During the game several of the girls sat in the dugout and played duck duck goose. Girls are a bit different than boys :)
After game we went to Sonic for a drink, sat at home for little bit then back to baseball fields.
Landon got few good hits. The Volcanoes won 13 to 5 so boys were excited about it.
Landon missed his soccer game because it was same time as baseball. His soccer team won 4 to 2 and several boys scored. It was great last game for Coach Roy.
That night we had going away party for the Roys. They are moving to Austin unfortunately. Kids had great time on bounce house and playing ball, and it was fun for adults to get to talk as well.
5/10 - We had Kasey's school end of year party. The kids got snacks (we even got to sing the snack song), and then one of the moms and I read all of them a book. Kasey sat in my lap while I read book. I would read the pages, the kids would laugh outloud and then Kasey would should the class the pages. She asked one of the boys not paying attention if he saw the pages. It was fun.
Then the kids made bracelets with their names on them. Then they sang the jump up and down song. We still remember Landon doing that when he was her age. Fun times.
I worked from home most of the day, and so Greg and I went up to see the 1st grade kickball tournament. Landon's class won which was fun.
That evening was the Norton Carnival. The boys were at baseball practice. Kasey and I were headed to get dinner for all of us. Kasey was crying and saying her ear hurt. So when boys got home I took Kasey to Acute kids. She had ear infection but nothing else so we went home for some Tylenol and headed to the Carnival to meet the boys.
Kids had great time at Carnival. They go to jump on bounce houses, try to dunk AIM teacher Mrs Szeryk, paint their hair different colors, get tattos (Kasey got drums, and Landon got 2 Angry birds), and some airbrush tatoos as well (Landon got dolphins, cobra and snake; Kasey got snake and dice).
5/5 - Kids played dress up in the morning. Kasey dressed up as dinosaur and Landon dressed up as Power Ranger with light saber.
We rode bikes to last soccer practice. That evening Kasey started feeling bad and got fever. She didn't have other symptoms, but had fever for few days. Poor thing.
5/4 - Landon had 9:30am baseball game. Boys had tough game and lost by 1 run. Landon then went to soccer game. Landon played well, but team didn't win which is ok. His baseball team did not win 2nd game either (he didn't get to play because it was same time as soccer and team was low on players).
Then Landon and I went to one of his school mates birthday parties at Chucky Cheese. One of my favorite :) WE had to leave early to get to Kasey tball game. Kasey got an out at 2nd base and had a few good hits as well.
5/3 - Greg and I got to go on school field trip with Landon to the Dallas Zoo. Greg got Colin, Andrew, Landon and Jaden in his group. I got 4 girls from his class - Jorden, Danny, Meagan and Makeila. We had wanted to all walk around together, but the girls didn't want to walk with the boys.
We ended up staying together some, but not all day. We got to see the lions training first and walk around in the new Africa section. The kids wanted to eat by 10:30 even though they had had snack about 9:45am.
Kids had fun seeing animals, having lunch, hanging out together. Of course they got warm and wanted me to carry everything :)
it was a fun day. I also got to talk with Landons teacher some. She really likes Landon. She said he's really smart and has done a good job making some good choices even though some friends have not.
That evening Landon had baseball practice and soccer camp.
5/31 - Kasey's last day of 3s at AppleCreek. Greg and I took her up there to get few pictures and give teachers gift. It was fun. Kind of sad to see those teachers go. Ms Melinda's last day.
