A little overlap to begin with.  Olivia'a last day of school was last thursday- Nate picked her and an hour later I took Isaac to visit school- Olivia's same class.  So although I am sad she has finished preschool- I am so happy to continue with Olivia's teachers and class with Isaac.  Thursday afternoon we made it to the farm and picked strawberries.  After the weekend I faced a Monday without any plans.  After a bit of pondering, the kids and I headed to Lake Wyola and had a great time.  I hope to spend many days there this summer!   Tuesday we hung out with our neighbors at home and Wednesday we played with our town friends.  And today we headed to springfield and had a blast.  It's been a great week even though it lacked many plans.

oh and the kids have started making MUD in our backyard.  they love it!

friday afternoon olivia and isaac were part of a psych study at Amherst college.  They got stickers and I found an amazing view!

Saturday morning was our first time at Lake Wyola.  I forgot to really check the weather so it was  a bit chilly but that did NOT stop Olivia.  Nate was helping a friend move so we caught up with him at home later for a movie and Chick Fil A for dinner.

Sam thought this was so funny..

And then the big kids had to join in...  

Happy Father's Day Nate dinner.

Monday morning was bright and sunny and we just had so much fun!

Happy Birthday to our friend Annika!

24/52 Preschool Good-Byes

Some day I will figure out how to put all these photos in order....  for today I will just say this week has definitely been about "Ending" things- End of Year Picnic for Preschool, End of Season Soccer, and today is Olivia's last day.  I am really sad about this:(  She was so little when she started- just 3.5 and Same wasn't even born just yet.  She has done SO well- had great teachers and experiences and has a great group of little friends.  However, most of them are moving:(  I know she will make new friends this fall in kindergarten, but for now this is reality.  Thankfully also- it is a week of Hello's too- Isaac will visit preschool this afternoon, we made it to the condo pool over the weekend and had lots more water play, and Isaac is learning to use the potty!!!  (though I won't share those photos with the world:)  Summer here we come!

My friend Beth matched outsides for our Saturday morning run- NOT on purpose. Ha!

Ready for Olivia's picnic- our clothes are all clean!

Olivia's best friends at school

Her class sang us songs and presented us with poems and picture from each student.

Sam entertained himself with my phone taking selfies.

Friday afternoon we had fun with a sprinkler!

Back to the preschool picnic- FOOD!

Isaac was SO cute in getting ready for the pool- he is SO ready!

Mommy Daddy Olivia Date to Panera!

We are taking a first time homebuyers class this month and i am so blessed with family to come and watch our kids each week.  This is the kiddos saying goodbye to Nate and me.

Lots of art projects have come home with Olivia this week.

Last day of school photo.

Isaac is really good with animals!  Especially goats!

Once again, a wonderful full week.  Our lives are filled to the max and I love and hate it all the at the same time.  I never know what to say when people ask "hows it going?"  "busy? full?  good?"  Such bland answers, but how do you say more in two seconds.  Anyways- here is a peek into our week.  

Celebrating Olivia's classmate Hadden's 5th Birthday at the North Hadley Sugat Shack Farm Tale- it was an awesome place and this cake was AMAZING!

Then we drove to Canaan...

And celebrated 7 years!

Conducting the Flamingos

Tackling with our neighbor friends.

Isaac loves these magna tiles at the AFC- but never wants to share.  He found a great spot to enjoy solo on Monday.

Visiting Great Grandpa Bob.
