Pool fun, Soccer and Teacher Appreciation

This year is going to finally be a lot of fun in the pool department.  Tommy is comfortable wearing floaties and the girls have proven to be little fish, so I can now relax poolside while the minis splash around.


I love my delicious little man.




The girls have come such a long way in the pool in just a couple summers.


Elle looks like she's ready for a synchronized swim competition.


Khera played spring soccer this year, and we learned quickly that she has a competitive edge that we didn't even know about...when Elle and Tommy let her have the ball, that is.




She had a couple of schoolmates on her team, it was so fun to watch how their skills evolved throughout the short season.


The main reason Khera wanted to play soccer was to get the trophy or medal at the end.  She was VERY proud when she received hers from coach Joel.


Tommy showed off his muscles during the last game.


Papi and Grandma made it to her final game also.


Elle made a friend and Tommy ate his dinner on the field.

I've got to say I was really relieved when the season was over, it takes a lot of effort to coordinate homework, meals, carpools, snacks, baths in the afternoon/evenings and fitting in a soccer season was NOT easy.  It was worth it to see Khera grow and work on a team.

Teacher Appreciation week was a couple weeks ago at preschool, and since I volunteered to be room mom this year for Tommy's class, there were several things I had to pull together.

Door decoration:


Stationery and flower pens:


I also made some fun clipboards with this photo attached:

So you might be wondering what Tommy was doing during these various projects???

Feeding his cars roasted garlic hummus...


Dipping his trains into his Oreo dipper icing...

I was very thankful when this week was over as well.  It was a lot of fun making these treats for his teachers, but now we can get back to catching up on our own lives!
