Picture Day and Shiners

Last Saturday, dinner at Grammy and Pops. 

Jackie reading Marvin K. Mooney...

I love her hair like this.  She is so big.

Jack drew this picture.  When I asked her who the girl with the black hair is, she said "Emily next door."

Hillary's 5th birthday party at Grandma and Pop-pops.  This is the 2nd year that Pop-pop arranged for her to have a bounce house.  It's so much fun for the kids.

The crew. Watching an Eagles loss.

The birthday girl, all decked out in her new accessories.  Her family knows her well.

Gabey and Ben, playing trains.  Gabe would become furious when baby Payton would sit on the track.  He would holler "Mommy! Get that guy off my track."

The cake- the theme last minute was Secret Lives of Pets, which is set in NYC.  So the cake is a NYC skyline and she also received a little stuffed Max (main character) from the movie.  Was gonna set him on the cake, but didn't wanna ruin the cake.

I love watching the kids sing to each other.  So darn cute.

Deep in play.

The main event: the dolphin bounce house.

Jack had off on Monday, so her and I took a trip to Target. She was a huge help, yet again.

After all our zillion activities on Monday, we had the last activity: field hockey.  I'm tired from our Mondays just writing this. It's all so worth it, though.

On Tuesday I took Grandma Shoemaker to breakfast and dropped the kids off at Connor and Gabe's where my Mom was babysitting them for the day.  Aunt J was still there when I dropped the kids off so she did Hilly/s hair so beautifully.

They had a really fun day dancing and playing.  Love that they had this time together!

Uke practice after dance on Tues.

They sent this funny faces pic to Gabey.  I love my gummy bear, Gabe!

Lost tooth and cool hair tie.

Picture day for Hills.  I had her switch out those pants...

Ben/s picture day too.  He got this shiner after school when we walked to pick up Jack.  Nailed his head right on the sidewalk.  The sound was just awful.  Thankfully my friend Lisa was there.  She has 3 boys and was like, 'You're fine, Ben. Shake it off.'  And he did.  Meanwhile I just sat there thinking 'AHHHHH!' 

On Thurs we visited Jim's work so I could get my flu shot (so annoying), but at least the kids got to see his office.  Em came along to yoga w me and Jack and Payton, while the little kids played at Hannah's house.
