Following that weekend was Daddy's birthday weekend which included Brewfest for Daddy and Dana's Bridal Shower for the girls. Everyone had a great time. After Daddy's nap when he got home on his birthday we celebrated with both of his favorite deserts that the girls made for him.
Teacher's week was to follow which we spent time making crafts and notes to appreciate all our teachers. That week also included the big Talent Show event. Cienna was a super star in both of her acts. Both the Daisy Troop act and her classroom act were a lot of fun to watch and be a part of.
Mothers Day started a little early with an amazing Mommy's muffin Morning in Cienna's classroom. They not only gave us muffins but filled us with love and songs from the kids. Keeping with tradition we had our bagels and tailgate party in the Lowe's parking lot before we ventured in to get supplies for our home improvement project for Mother's Day. We now have matching light fixtures all around the outside of our home. We also had some pretty amazing ribs for dinner! And not too mention a home pedicure and so much love.
We got to then have another successful troop meeting, this time in Mrs. Dowlen's classroom, followed by Hailey's 7th Birthday bring your dollies party!
They are getting into more abstract learning subjects in school such as history, science, culture, etc. and Cienna is loving every bit of it. She is still such a great student and friend to all of her classmates. We've noticed that she is growing up and is having a little trouble at times understanding all of the emotions that she feels and how to deal with them. However, she is so kind hearted that of course she "usually" has the best reaction to them! She gets to be the example most of the time in her gymnastics class and is excited for Fall soccer which we have just signed up for.
Kaylee is on a roll with her reading, although it is frustrating at times to be learning and just want to be as good as your sister already is. But she is doing great. Her artwork is also continuing to improve and has really gotten way more patient spending time and initiating fun projects. Her physical coordination is remarkable and she loves putting it to use at gymnastics.
We are all looking forward to Joe and Dana's wedding coming this Friday, I know the girls are happy for them, but they're pretty excited about being the flower girls as well!
Enjoy the pictures!
