Some More Birthday Stuff and a Preschool Graduation...

Finally, summer has arrived.  We had an awesome Memorial Day weekend, filled with time outside, at the pool, doing yard work, playing with our neighbor, and just generally resting.  Was just what we needed to kick off summer.

We planted some flowers a week or so ago and Margot likes to help Mark water them.  On this particular day she got herself in her bathing suit to do it...as she's not great keeping the hose just on the flowers.  This is one of our new suits for this summer...a little big, but so cute and patriotic.

 This girl loves to be outside.

 Sawyer and Isla made Margot some birthday signs...with no prompting from me or Mark.  Sawyer went big with the sign across the room, Isla's is a bit smaller down below.

 So excited to be 3 years old!!!

Last week was also Isla's last day of preschool.  She said from now on when someone asks her what grade she's in, she's going to say Kindergarten.  We went to the park by our house here they had a little preschool graduation ceremony complete with songs performed for the parents and time for the kids to run around/have snacks.  Our graduate before the concert began...

 Lined up and ready to sing.

With her teacher...getting her diploma and class picture.  We think this will be Margot's teacher next year too...so they have two more years of Harris girls, though I am willing to bet Isla was the easiest of the two.

I literally ran over for a half hour to see the ceremony, songs, and make sure my girl knew i was there, but also had a crazy busy week so had to run home to get on some calls.  On one hand it's amazing how I can have that flexibility with my job, and on the other, it's crazy that I'm sprinting from one to the other...modern day working I suppose, at least in my world.

Isla has a good friend from school who she has play dates with.  She has a little sister that will be in preschool with Margot next year, and both sets of girls have become fast friends.  We were out to lunch near their house a few days ago and decided to invite both of them over for some sprinkler and bubble fun.  Having B over was Margot's very first playdate and she loved it.  She spent the whole car ride home trying to make B laugh, and B happily obliged, which in turn had Mark and I giggling the whole ride home.

Best thing to do on a hot day is hit up the sprinkler and ours has been on a lot lately before we get in the swing of the pool schedule.  These bubbles had four girls running around the back yard screeching.

Thanks for the birthday present Grandma and Grandpa...we are going to go stock up on more bubble refills because this was a huge hit!

Sawyer is now in her last day of school - with a trip to the zoo today, field day on Thursday and last half day on Friday.  Can't believe the year is over, but everyone is pretty geared up for the summer activities and a few trips we have planned along the way....
