Drew's last Day of 3-4 year old preschool- May 23rd 2013

Drew is just incapable of a normal smile.  

Ice Cream Party

Mommy and Drew

Paper Plate Awards.  Drew got "The Dreamer" Award.  She said that he sometimes just looks like he's daydreaming.  She asks what he's thinking of and his answer is always Star Wars.  She gave him stars for his ceiling and Star Wars squinkies.

Drew had a great year of preschool.  He really loved his teachers and they were great.  He's looking forward to having Mrs. Meier next year :)

Raising Butterflies- May 2013

Caterpillars

Turning into cocoons

Cocoon in the habitat

Drew was so excited that he got to feed them

Getting ready to let them go in the backyard

They all flew straight up and over the house.  The boys were disappointed that they didn't land on the flowers on the deck.  

Jack got one to land in his hands

Poor Drew got so close....

Then it flew away.  he was so sad :(  But overall the kids really liked it.  We may do it again next year! 

Drew's Nature Walk

Drew and his buddy Cullen

They kept saying "I see you." to each other :)

The nature walk was really just a trip around the school and church.  

Parking lot

They went out to see the nest but mama bird was sitting on it and wouldn't let them get too close

Checking out the pond.  Jack got to join since it was before Kindergarten

Drew is growing up- May 2nd 2013

Drew's last night in his toddler bed

Proud owner of a big boy bed.

He was so cute about getting his furniture.  He tried out the bed and pretended to sleep in it.  Then he tried out his desk and pretended to do homework in it.  He loves his new Star Wars Sheets too!  Will get the room put together and take more pics.  

The Birds and the Bees :)

Love Birds

These birds have decided that our deck is the perfect place for their baby-making.  On the third day I decided to snap some pics.  

They peck at each other for a while

Then the magic happens taking all of 2 seconds.  

Done and then they groom themselves for about 5 minutes and fly off.  

Haircut Day!- April 22nd 2013

These were the before pics which they cooperated for.  

The after pic not so much.  They wouldn't stand still so I couldn't get them in focus.  

Baltimore Harbor- April 20th 2013

My friend Jen and I went to Baltimore to see Kathy Griffin and stayed overnight.  This is the next morning when we ate lunch on the harbor
