that's a lot of kids

Jay and Gina brought the kids over for Memorial Day and we spent the day at the pool. Six kids is a lot to keep up with at one time. (Lilly, the littlest, is in the pack n play behind them)

still short...

Brooke woke up this morning and came running down the stairs to tell me that her hair is still short.

Locks of Love

We have been talking about doing things for other people lately and Brooke has been wanting to get her hair cut. We decided to donate her hair to Locks of Love to make wigs for kids with cancer. She was very excited and asked me when we were going to make a wig.

We will miss you Ms. Dondi

Brooke's last day in Ms. Dondi's class was today and she is so sad that she has to say good-bye. She will be just down the hall next year in Ms. Tonia's class.

they've been eaten by a shark

Ben had a sleepover tonight and they decided that they wanted to sleep in the shark tent. At some point in the night, Brooke decided to get in her bed. I heard Ben screaming for Brooke trying to find her shortly after.

going, going, gone...

Since it's so hot outside, really the only thing the kids want to do is play in the water. Good thing we have a great neighborhood pool. Brooke loves the little slide. She can't wait til she's big enough to ride down the big waterslide. It won't be long.

splashing around

Bridgeland has a great pool with lots of areas for the kids to play. Jack really loves to climb up and down the stairs at the splashpad.

almost 5 years old

Since Brooke's birthday is in the summer, Ms. Dondi let her celebrate it the last week of school. All day long, she told me that she was so happy that she was 5 years old...I had to keep reminding her that she was almost 5.
