5K fun run

We participated in a Memorial Day Fun Run today.  Max, Kye and Sam rode their bikes.  Trevor pushed Hunter in the stroller and I ran.

silly Sam

This picture makes me laugh.

mmm mmm good

Kye had a free ice-cream coupon to Uswirl, so we took the kids tonight.  It is a self-serve ice-cream shop.  They loved filling their cups with different flavors of ice-cream and picking out as many toppings as they wanted.  Sam couldn't get enough.

two wheeler

I took Sam's training wheels off her bike today. We walked her bike across the street to the park and I told her I would help her get started after I put Hunter in the shade. I was walking to the tree to park Hunter, who was in the stroller, when she came flying by me riding the bike like a pro. It only took her a couple times to figure out how to stop and not fall over. We went back to the house and she was doing figure eights in the driveway.

Max's award

Max's award assembly was today. He received the citizenship award and straight A honor roll award. Great job Max!

Kye's award

Kye had an awards assembly at school today. He received the citizenship award for the third trimester. He worked really hard and did a great job this year. I can't believe he is going to be a first grader.

dinner conversation

Tonight at dinner we began talking about a picture Kye had drawn earlier. He told me "this was a picture of a boy whose mom made him walk to school by himself, but he didn't know the way. So he went the wrong way and ended up in the 'bad guys' lab. He went in the back door and the lasers trapped him (like in the movie The Incredibles)." Kye and Max went on and on about things in the 'bad guys lab', superpowers, and how the boy got away. What I gathered from the conversation is that my boys really don't want to walk to school by themselves.  We suggested that maybe next year the boys could walk home together.
