100th Day!!!

Friday was Pierce's 100th day of school so his class participated in a BIG celebration.  Every time I look at these they completely crack me up!!!  His class, apparently, went all out to look like they were 100 years old! The day included lots of fun 100 things...he took 100 marshmellows to share, they did math activities to 100, and table activities to celebrate 100!

Here are Pierce and Carter...oops, I mean Mr. Grover and Uncle Hershel!  They said they were grumpy old men!!

I think that Pierce and Evangelina look like an old homeless couple!  At least they seem to be happy.  HA!!

First of Many (But I Hope Not!)

Pierce is definitely his father's child, in so many ways.  I was hoping that this was one thing he did not get from him, but I guess I was wrong.  One week ago today, this is what we were doing...

 As you can see, he was totally unphased by the fact that he broke his arm!  He fell at the playground the day before so we took a precautionary trip to the doctor which resulted in two doctors visits that day, x rays, a cast, and of course a trip to McDonald's for his favorite dinner!

(Mom, why are you taking my picture?  I'm trying to eat!)

Thankfully, the cast has barely slowed him down and he thinks it's super cool!  I'm sure we will many more of these in our future if he truly is anything like daddy!

Sunny Skies

After having days and days of gray, wet, and cold skies (along with snow two days ago), we were overly excited for a day filled with sunny and warm weather! Sunny weather makes me so much happier!  In celebration, the boys headed outside for an afternoon of fun!

They practiced almost every sport imaginable, this (of course), was daddy's favorite.  I'm afraid Pierce may have gotten his athletic skill from his momma though....uh, oh! 

Snow Day!!!

On Thursday, we had a fun snow day that afternoon! It started snowing late that morning while Pierce was at school, so his sweet teacher took them outside to play in it and catch snowflakes on their tounges.  He was overly excited when I was able to leave work early and pick him up in carpool.  It started coming down really hard on our way home and ended up snowing several inches.  Luckily daddy got to come home too, so we all headed outside to play!

 

 

Working on making his snowman...

Snowball fights with daddy are the best!!!

Molly's Big Day!

We got to help Pierce's classmate, Molly, celebrate her fifth birthday last weekend. This is the second year they have been in the same class at school. It was an afternoon filled with lots of jumping, running, cake, ice cream and pizza! Along with fun friends from school to play with!

Sadly, this is about the only picture I got at the party.  Happy Birthday, Molly!!

 

I was glad to meet a few moms at the party that live in our neighborhood and already have children at the elementary school we are zoned for.  Since Pierce starts Kindergarten in the fall, it was good to hear that they love his future school!

New Year Fun!

After we got back home from Christmas travels and recooperated from time away, we looked for fun entertainment for 2013. Since school had not started back, Pierce was missing his friends so we had some playdates!  One day we met friends for free play jumping at a local jumpy place and a few days later we hit McWane.  Pierce was overly excited about going to McWane since we had not been in quite a while.  Thanks to Grandmomma and Granddaddy we can now go much more often since they gave us a membership for Christmas!

None of these pictures are great since I took them with my phone...I do love Carter's expression here while they were looking at bug slides under the microscope! 

A special boatride at the Clifford exhibit with Evangelina! 

Dressed up as the characters on Clifford and putting on a "show"! 

Fun times with Julian...Pierce loves seeing him! 

It was a super crazy and packed day, but lots of fun.  Pierce is already talking about our next trip and about the new exhibit that will be coming at the end of the month.  He's just hoping that they keep the zipline!

Christmas at the Farm

After a few days in Luverne, we headed down to the farm to see Gigi and Poppa for a few days. Of course, Pierce had to make his visit to the lake to feed the ducks. No one must have been there lately because they quickly surrounded us for food!! We counted 29 big ducks, that wasn't even counting the babies!!

 

 

We also headed down near the beach one night for a yummy seafood dinner at Nick's. (That's the nice thing about being so close to the beach.) It was delicious!  On our way back, we stopped in Defuniak at their "Christmas Reflections" lights at the lake.  It was beautiful, Pierce loved it!  We definitely have to do this again!!
