Family Night and More...

We've had lots of fun this week.  Playdates, storytime at the library, and family night at church. 

Today Katie's spring pictures came in at school.  I think they turned out pretty cute.  Here are my "pictures of the pictures" that I got since I don't have a digital copy.
Storytime at the library was awesome!  They had puppets, a story on the projector screen, a fannel story, and singing and dancing.  Katie did really well and we plan to go every week we're in town this summer.  The theme last week was "All Aboard!" so the stories and puppet show were about trains.
I don't have pictures from any playdates but we're loving our playgroup.  We have stuff to do every week with them and everyone is so nice.  I'm hoping to get together with some teacher friends with kids Katie's age this summer too.

Tonight we had our 1st ever "Family Experience" night at our church.  Katie apparently likes to be the center of attention because she kept wanting to go up on stage and play.  But other little kids her age did too so it's all good.  We had a picnic style dinner, sang songs, played games, watched a skit, and heard a Bible story.  And yes, I tried to hula hoop which usually I can do really well, but it's very different hula hooping with a "baby hula hoop".  Ha!


I noticed tonight that our magnolias are blooming pretty good and I couldn't resist getting my camera out for them.  I LOVE magnolia trees.  The kind that get real big and grow wide (not the tall skinny ones).
Katie's favorite cartoon is Dora and when Swiper the Fox comes around on Dora everyone says "Swiper, no swiping."  And then Swiper says, "Aw Man!"  I think it's so cute the way Katie says that so here's a short little video I taped in the car on the way home tonight.  (Don't worry... Andy was driving!)

Silly Nut 6/18/10 at OneTrueMedia.com

After popsicles last night Katie was pretty hyper. She kept asking for more "ice cream" then repeated Andy when he called her a "silly nut." He told her she was "wired... like a monkey" and she said, "Ah-Ah!" That's her monkey sound.

Then she found her sunglasses and thought if she put them on that meant she would go to the "water" (her word for pool.) Silly girl.

Last night we finally blew up Katie's splash pool and she loved it.

Tunks

I can't come home during crawfish season and not have any.  So tonight we had dinner at Tunks (on the lake).  Yummy crawfish!  And crawfish at my brother's house tomorrow night!

Beautiful Cousin Tess
What a ham... a year ago we were begging her to sing for us but she was too shy.  She has definitely come out of her shell!

Fun at Memaw and Papaw's house

Summer vacation has officially begun and we started it with a trip to Memaw and Papaw's house for a week.  Just me and Katie since Andy has to work.  We miss him but are having a great time "playing" with family.

"Forget the Cheez-Its.  Now I know where to come for the good stuff."
"I don't know what you're talking about, Mommy.  I didn't have a cookie."

Congratulations to Staci and Adam.  Their wedding was beautiful and I had a great time hanging out with friends from high school that I haven't seen in way too long! 
What a cutie!
