Tyler's Turn

OK so today was Tyler's turn at being a star. They had their show at the school and sang a little diddly then the teachers put together a slide presentation with all the pictures they had taken of the kids throughout the year. It was really nice. Tyler did an excellent job singing by which I mean he actually sang this time. I think he had fun and was really glad that we all (me, Kendall & Daddy) were able to come to his show. I can't believe the school year will be over next week! But unlike many of our friends Tyler will be remaining in Preschool for one more year. He doesn't make the cut-off out here so he gets another year of Lilliput which he is excited about.

Show Day

Kendall had her final show today for school. We met all the Tuesday, Thursday classes at Dean Park this morning. Boy was it a hot day. I think it was close to 90 with 101% humidity at 9am. I'm not complaining though. I still LOVE it. I'll take that over any day under 40. So anyway. Kendall got up and sang all her songs with her class. She actually sang and everything. Tyler didn't even sing when he had his show last year. I tried to video it but some other little brat I mean little boy was in front of her blocking my little girl's time to shine. ugh. :-) Anyway she had a great day, singing, running obstacle courses, eating snacks (this reminds me I need to do my annual watermelon pics soon), face painting and lots of other fun things.












I'm glad we (Tyler and I) got to be there for her "special day" as Tyler said.

New York! New York!

On Saturday I took a little bus ride down to New York with a couple of friends. It was a lot of fun.














We just stayed in the Times Square area because that's where we were dropped off and had lunch then went to a show and we didn't have much time to travel anywhere else. There is so much to see in NY and I hope eventually I'll get to see it all because honestly I'm getting a bit sick of Times Square. I really want to head over to Central Park again and also see Grand Central Station. I guess I'll just have to plan more visits! Anyway we did have a great time, the bus ride seemed short because we chatted away for 3 hours there and 3 hours back. We had lunch at a Druse restaurant which is basically Turkish food. We walked around a bit in Times Square, saw of course the Naked Cowboy!












Then went to the show Avenue Q. It was labeled as Sesame Street meets South Park and that's rightly identified. It's really funny.












We got a hot dog from a street vendor and cupcakes from a yummy bakery Crumbs and sat on the steps of St. Patrick's and enjoyed it all. That was our day in a nut shell. I can't wait to do it again.

No Girls Allowed!

Today Tyler came to me with a picture of a girl in a pink tutu with a circle and a line through it saying "I need you to write, 'no girls allowed in my room." I told him I wasn't going to write it but that he could. So we printed out a tracer page and he went to work.








As you can see Kendall wasn't too happy with this new "law." She stood there for a bit then got a sneaky look and went right in looking back at me saying "Tyler will never know!" And then slammed the door.












Of course Tyler did find out (she's a dead give away when she's in there jumping around). Tyler came up and booted her out. He thought he was being tricky by locking her out. But hey what's wrong with that picture? He's actually locking himself IN!

No Longer Off the Charts

So I don't know what happened within this past year with Kendall but she went from 90% in height to 43%. She only grew 1 inch this year. (or so it's charted) I find that hard to believe since I'm pretty sure her clothes have gotten shorter since the last time she went to the doctor but oh well. Now she's just average. She's almost 37 inches tall and weighs 29 lbs. Tyler was the exact same height at her age and weighed a couple of pounds more. Everything is looking good though so here is to another year of living healthy and well. I'll end with a couple of pictures from today's fun in the sun. It was in the 90's here today (yes it was 45 just 3 days ago). The kids told me they "had TOO much fun today"
