Kindergarten Field Trip

William had so much fun today on his field trip to the Dallas World Aquarium. His favorite things were the penguins, jaguar, and watching the sharks during feeding time. He also loved riding on the school bus! We made some wonderful memories today. I had to keep up with three very excited kindergarten boys so will sleep good tonight!

William's Birthday

Yesterday was William's birthday. He is 6 years old!! I brought him Sonic for lunch with a Dr Pepper. He was so excited and talked 90mph the entire lunch. We let him pick three friends to come home from school with us. They had so much fun playing Star Wars in the backyard until Eric could get off work. We took them to GattiTown for dinner, rides and games.

Robbers Cave State Park

We went to Robbers Cave State Park in Oklahoma this past week. My parents took me here every year as a kid. It is a beautiful place!
We were so excited that Nana and Papa were able to join us.
The kids had so much fun hiking, fishing and riding canoe/paddle boats. They also went to a couple of kid classes at the Nature Center.
They liked hanging by the lake feeding fish, playing at the park and eating snow cones! We also enjoyed a hayride on our last evening together.
Above picture is outside our cabin making s'mores. Robbers Cave does not have wireless internet!! It was nice but kinda weird not being "connected."

The Morning After

Sarah had "the best slumber party ever." Eric checked on them at 3am and they were all still awake! I needed a blow horn this morning. They all looked at me like I had four heads when I told them it was time to wake up!

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Sarah's 9th Birthday last night! She did not want a cake. Instead she wanted Great Nana's chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. So I made her a cookie cake using the recipe. It was so yummy!
We let the kids choose what they want for dinner on their birthdays. Sarah chose Steak-n-Shake. We did not know you get a free shake on your birthday. Any shake any size! Sarah was so happy to not have to get a kid size shake. Dr. Pepper on top of that. We are terrible parents.
Catherine wanting to help Sarah with all her presents. Sarah is having a slumber party on Saturday night. Catherine will love a house full of 9 year olds. Eric and William not so much. I think they are trying to plan an escape.
