1. Today is Hayes’s last day of school. I can’t even talk about it without getting a lump in my throat. I have loved his sweet teachers and his little classmates. Every week, three days a week, for three hours a day he has excitedly entered his little classroom, greeted his teachers with enthusiasm and was loved on all morning by these sweet ladies. It was a wonderful year for him and I’m sad it is coming to a close.
2. I’ve been addicted to watching Scandal. The first season is only 7 episodes, and I plowed through them. I’m halfway through season 2 already and I’ve filled up my DVR with new shows this week because I only want to watch Scandal in the evenings. It’s so good!
3. The boys’ birthday party is this weekend, and I think I’m ready for it. I’ve not done a whole lot of crafting, but I have lots of fun Peter Pan props and decorations. I’m just excited for them to have a day to celebrate and play with their friends!
4. My brother has been here since Friday. Uncle Walker is so much fun and my boys just love being around him and playing with him. We’ve gone to the zoo and played in the yard a lot. Even Boudreaux is happy to have him around.
5. We got a cookie cake for Mother’s Day. Is there anything more wonderful than a cookie cake?
6. I loved all of your questions for me, and I’m excited to have some new blog post ideas!
7. I’ve been working a little bit on a loose “summer schedule.” Of course I want the summer to be low key and lots of fun, but I always want to have a little bit of structure to our day so my boys know a little bit about what to expect. I’ve got some ideas for fun things for Hudson and Hayes to learn and play while having fun! And some different ways to be intentional about making the most of our summer.
8. This post is short because I have to go watch another episode of Scandal. I can’t help myself!
oooo…i haven’t had a cookie cake in a LONG time! might have to work on fixing that!! Sounds like it will be a fun party for your sweet boys ~ can’t wait to hear all about it!! =)
I had a cookie cake for Mother’s Day too – one of my favorites. Tell us more about your summer schedule. Sounds like something that I need to work on! I am sad about school ending too but am looking forward to a little more white space on the calendar.
Oooh! I love cookie cake! We keep a loose summer schedule too. It just makes things run smoothly. =)
I am in complete denial that the season finale is here already for Scandal. Best show on television right now!! Can’t wait to see all the pics from the birthday party, I know it will be perfect!!
I too can’t get enough of Scandal! It’s SO good! Each week, I feel the anticipation building to Thursday at 10pm! I just don’t know what I’m going to do while it’s on hiatus. 🙁
Ooh I would love to read your summer “schedule”. I like to have a few goals to work on each summer with my baby boy too! I’m all about focused or intentional playtime. Nothing’s better than learning throug playing! And I’m always looking for new ideas. Hayes is about the same age as my son so I’m interested to see what you all will be doing this summer 🙂
Can you share your summer schedule? I need to do the same thing.
I just started watching Scandal yesterday. I watched 1.5 episodes while doing laundry, then hubby and I watched 5 episodes last night! We stayed up until 2:30 watching them…it was so good! I think that’s the bad thing about Netflix…you can just keep watching and watching. It’s good and bad! Ha!
I need a new show on Netflix 🙂 When you watch on itunes do you pay for each episode or is there a way to get a subscription?
I LOVE Scandal! It’s probably my favorite show right now. I have to admit I’m a little jealous that you still have a few episodes to watch!
will uncle walker still be there for the boy birthday party?
I know this isn’t in your Q’s post, but can you please explain what ‘school’ is for Hayes and Hudson? Is it a paid thing or a church thing or something else? Here, the only option like that for a 2 or 3 year old would be daycare, which is why I ask 🙂 Just curious how it all works!
Scandal is one of my favorite shows and one that Brian will actually watch with me. It keeps getting better as the season progresses. Caroline’s birthday party is this weekend too! I am praying the rain holds out but I guess only time will tell. Can’t wait to see pictures from the boys fun filled party.
Wanna know something weird about me? I don’t like cookie cake. Can we still be friends? 🙂
Love Scandal!! We started watching it on a whim on Netflix and watched the entire first season in 5 or 6 days. Caught-up on Season 2 online because they were only 5 episodes in, and now we watch it weekly.
