SCHOOL'S OUT

School is officially out for the summer, and we are ready for a break! We have a lot of fun things coming up this month, so I will be posting more often than usual.

Here are some pictures from Corinne's last week of school, including a video of her dance festival. (Each grade performed a dance. Corinne's was from High School Musical, which she is SO into right now.)

She had a fun year and made some great friends. We are looking forward to 3rd grade. (I can't believe it!)

BUDDIES

Matthew loves to visit Allison in her room after her morning nap. This time, I actually let him get in her crib. This was such a cute photo-op, I couldn't resist taking some pictures.

Allison woke up with a poopy diaper, so Matt had to hold his nose!

(All clean after a diaper change.) Allie's smile is priceless!

So sweet.

A SURPRISE FOR CORINNE

My kids have been really into Webkinz lately, but neither of them even have one! They have been saving their money (except when they are tempted by the ice cream man), but at $15 a pop, it was going to be hard for them. We got a great tip from my sister-in-law Mandy about a Webkinz sale this week, so Matt and I headed over to the store to pick out two Webkinz, one for him, one for Corinne. When Corinne got home, we told her we had a surprise and she had to go on a scavenger hunt to find it.

Do you see a pink poodle?

This was super fun for Corinne and Matt. These new animals are like their babies. The only down side is that Corinne has her standardized testing at school this week, and she came home saying that it was hard to concentrate because she kept thinking about Lucy! (Maybe I should have waited until the tests were over!)
