last day of preschool

#23

My favorite lunch is the #23 from the Vietnamese restaurant in LO.  I pretty much crave this everyday, but I manage to just go once a week.  It is so good!

my poor plants

This evening while I was in the kitchen and Justin was on the sofa I heard a loud crash.  I really didn't want to look and see what it was cause it sounded ugly.  Justin was closest to the destruction and screamed at Lucy who had been in the window sill and had caused the mess.  "My poor plants" he said, nearly in tears.  Then he stood there with his hands on his hips accessing the damage while I tried to will the situation away because I didn't want to clean up dirt and spiky cacti. 

trying to listen to the ocean

forever folding laundry...

...but I do it while watching The Bachelorette, so it isn't too bad.

another pet store lizard

I have no desire to own a pet lizard but I think they are fun to photograph. 

Going to the pet store with Justin is always a treat.  He showed me a pac man frog and a tree frog - I have no idea how he knows what either of those are - but he does.

new rubber

Today we wore shorts and short sleeved shirts and it felt so so good! It was a perfect day weather wise and a long time coming.

We started the day at Les Schwab spending way more than I anticipated on new tires for the car. Justin was pretty stoked to go to the tire store though. He ate the free popcorn and watched the guys work.

Later in the day, since it was so nice out we went to the park.

just washed

I forgot that a freshly washed car is basically an invitation for birds to crap on my car.

peek-a-boo

I pretty much love taking pictures with my iPhone.  I am especially fond of the square format I get when I use the Instagram app.  My poor Canon is very neglected these days.

Finally

I have been waiting for the leaves to pop on the tree out front.  Finally!

green eggs no ham

Last night we read Dr. Suess - Green Eggs and Ham.  Justin asked about green eggs and I told him I could make his some.  He was interested and reminded me in the morning that he wanted green eggs.  He ate them up, I guess they were good.

Lego gym

Justin's skills with Legos far surpass anything I could ever create.  Here he made a gym complete with a treadmill and weight lifting stations. 

over grown

Wow!  Time to deal with my mess.  If I had a lawnmower this wouldn't be a problem - but I don't - and I am not entirely sure I want to buy one.  The yard is actually 99% weeds, including a lot of moss, and it really needs to be totally re-done.  I got out my big sheers and started hacking a path away while formulating an actual plan of attack. 

kindy registration

Today was kindergarten registration day at what will be Justin's new school.  Since the orientation started at 2:30 in the afternoon I left work early and sprung Justin outta pre-school after care early. 

bock bock bock

My favorite Lego piece to date would have to be this chicken!

wishes

We took a walk last night because it was a beautiful day.  Justin kept spotting dandelion puffs and saying "I see another wish!"  He was wishing for Legos.  No surprise there.  An alien invasion mother ship Lego to be precise.

mmmmmm good!

what you find when the garage is clean

1025 Ziploc sandwich bags!  Obviously I had no idea I had more than enough because the messy garage made it hard to see what I had.  I am well stocked up now!

play day

Super productive day today. I was awake was sooner than I wanted to be because my nose was stuffed up and running at the same time and I was coughing. Plus I had plans to clean out the garage (to get the HOA off my back about my roommate parking his car on the street). And let's get real... the garage has been on my to-do list for.ever! I got 'er cleaned up a lot faster than I expected and then Justin and I got dressed because we had tickets to see "How I Became a Pirate" at the children's theater downtown.

Justin enjoyed the show {or at least it seemed like he did}. Then we went to Freddie's because Justin was asking for light up shoes. The fact that he wanted "real shoes" and is favoring them over flip flops is a good thing. So he got some light up sketchers that he loves and actually wears.

Awesome Saturday!!!

my fave

The dogwood outside of Justin's school is blooming. 

They are my most favorite!

lunch this week

bossy cat

I pulled into the garage at the end of the day and turn the car off, but stay in the car listening to something on the radio.  Paxil jumps up on the hood of the car and starts screaming at me in meows.  I imagine he was saying "get out of the car and get me my evening treat now!" 

vroom vroom

hangin' out

We went to the pet store today, just because, and I spotted this little lizard hanging from the mesh above his cage.  I thought it was so cool.  I put my iPhone right up to the glass and snapped away. 

Chocolate Covered Strawberry cupcakes

Mother's Day Tea

Today the preschool had a Mother's Day Tea. When I arrived Justin greeted me at the door with a hat he had made for me {yellow paper, flowers, duct tape} and then he showed me to a seat and left. Once all the moms were there the kiddos came out for a performance. They sang "if you are happy and you know it".

Next up was snacks that we ate on the floor.  It was super sweet and way cute.  Justin was a little emotional about the whole thing.  He was on the verge of tears.  He would not look at me during the performance at all.  I remember those grade school performances well and I wasn't a fan either.  But he did really good.

This is Jack, Justin's best buddy at school.

Slug Bug!

awwww

Bye Spokane, we had fun!
