Swimming

This past weekend was warm. And although we did get the usual weekend rain (seems like every weekend this spring so far has had rain and storms), we did have quite a bit of sunshine as well. Which is unusual for a Memorial Day Weekend.

The kids got outside and enjoyed some play time in the small pool.

And although Madeline didn't go in the pool, she certainlly walked around it, threw things in it and enjoyed her outside time as well.

1st Grade Track and Field Day

Cailin had her track and field day at school this past week. I remember doing this as a kid too - everyone was always so excited and wound up on track and field day at my school and Cailin was the exact same way. The day was warm and very windy. While waiting for her turn, she was hamming it up.

She participated in the hurdlers (as she called them).

The Bean Bag race

Of which she took 2nd place - and resulted in some celebration.

And of course, the big finale, the Tug O War.

Her team didn't quite win the championship, but they sure gave it their all.

Madeline Grace is 1

Madeline Grace turned 1 year old this past week. She hasn't been feeling well, so sadly she ended up at the pediatrician on her birthday. But got a clean bill of health (other than a cold and some new molars coming in). So that was good. So we had a do a 're-do' for her birthday - and we were able to do that this evening. We have just returned from our first camping trip of the season, so everyone was tired - especially Maddy. We gave her a cupcake after singing the traditional happy birthday song - but then she wasn't exactly sure what to do with the cupcake at first.

But she still managed to take a few bites.

And get it everywhere.

And she liked the singing too.

Happy Birthday Maddy!
