Mother’s Day Treats with Alex
Today Alex’s school celebrated Mother’s Day by inviting us to have dessert with them after their lunch. I got to join Alex in his classroom and he showed me that he made the pretty butterfly decoration on the table. He also gave me a bookmark made with his fingerprints as a gift/keepsake along with lots of hugs and love. I love my sweet boy!
Fun Day in Norfolk
Today I took the kids to the Wells Theater for Children’s Theatre of Hamton Roads presentation of Davy Crockett’s Tremendously Tall Tales. We got to Norfolk early to ensure the tickets I bought a long time ago were at will call and then walked to the USS Wisconsin for to look around before returning to the show. The kids had a lot of fun and the play was written by the 3 actors who preformed it. It was very interactive and we all loved it. Afterwards the kids were hungry so we walked to The Granby Deli for sandwiches al fresco. We walked around enjoying the art before spending over an hour at the Slover library enjoying their books, interactive areas, and their rooftop garden. We walked down to waterside before heading home. It was a great day!
Laura’s 36th Birthday
Today I turned 36 and to celebrate it, AJ and the kids took me to dinner. Back home we had birthday ‘cake’ and they gave me my birthday presents. Thank you everyone for all the birthday goodies and wishes!!
Muddy Hike
This afternoon I took Brooke and Alex to Northwest River Park for a 3 mile hike. After snacks at the halfway point we took a very muddy trail back. Brooke and I did the best to weave around off trail to avoid the plethora of mud puddles but Alex just started walking through them. I had to strip both down to their undies to get them into the car. Sign of a good hike!
