Our annual last-day-of-school campout this year turned into MUDFEST '11! The field was so soggy that every step you took stirred up more mud. We had to contain the twins inside our tent to keep them free of it. Ben and Maggie ran around getting covered. Maggie probably changed her clothes three or four times before I left for the evening. Brian, being the champion dad that he is, still camped out with Ben and Maggie for the entire night.

Maggie's Goddard Graduation
Today, Maggie graduated from Goddard, where she has been in daycare/pre-school since birth. I have really mixed emotions about this milestone. I'm SO relieved to be free of the bills to a daycare center for one more kid. However, primarily, I'm sad to see this era end. Goddard has been so good for Maggie. And, she loves her most recent teachers, Miss Adea and Miss Tricia. We'll miss them in the Mondays and Wednesdays to come!

Ben's Trike Race
After Maggie's bike parade yesterday, Ben had the opportunity to show off his stuff today at Woodbrook Elementary's annual Kindy 500! This event might actually top the cuteness factor of the Seton bike parade. It was so well-organized! (They do this event year after year...) The entire school comes out to the playground followed by the kindergarteners who are wearing shirts of various colors to represent their teams. Each team competes against the other teams in a trike race around the circle. It's done relay-style. The entire school cheers them on. I loved it! It went so fast that I almost missed a photo of Ben as he zoomed past me! I think his team won!

Our New Stroller!
It seems like we have waited forever to get this stroller. This is the newest model, just available this month, and it's about 20 pounds lighter than the original model. I gotta say that 20 more pounds might be a deal-breaker for me. This thing weighs a TON! The girls love it, though. I think it's the only stroller available that allows the girls to face each other. Pushes LIKE. A. DREAM!!!

kids looking out the window
Brian has this "thing" for taking pictures of the kids at the window when they're first learning to stand. I admit that they look so cute standing there. For this shot, he put them in their matching monster-jammies, and I stood outside with Java waving my arms like some idiot to keep their attention on me. Oh, the stuff we do for good photos!
