Happy Birthday Bumpa!!!

ok - so we have skipped spring and have rolled right into summer for this years celebration of Bumpa's b-day!
great day - we played outside ALL day
we grilled out and had gluten free cupcakes YUM YUM!
all the bulbs are up and we are averaging about 70-75 degrees!
ready to go looking for swimsuits and shorts!!
it is amazing though and wonderful all at the same time things are happening so so fast
Sadie graduates from pre-k on May 24th and they have a little graduation ceremony where all the kids show off what they learned for the year - I am hoping Sadie shows some of her karate moves on some of the mean girls in her class :)
really though Sadie loves karate and is really good at it - she is teaching bubby everything she knows about balance and HI YA's
still waiting to hear from the kindergartens - but that is no surprise in some ways - but either way we are saving money as best we can - which means home improvement projects are on hold till maybe they graduate from college :)
that is it for now - we have jumped in puddles and taken a bath and are getting ready for a snuggly nap with windows open and crock pot cooking some yummy dinner
it is days like today that i love cleveland and i love living by the lake

Happy Birthday Bumpa!!!

oh my......

i just looked at the blog and realized in horror - i have kept everyone in the dark for so long about how things are and what is happening - but honestly do you come to the blog to read or look at pictures?
so here it is
Silas is 3 now -
his b-day party was a blast!!! literally - we had the party at a local "bouncy house" place and he jumped and jumped - we had about 15 people come to party and he got lots of super heros or "bad guys" as he likes to call them
so we are knee deep in batmans and spidermans which is wonderful because the super heros like to pretend to play family in the doll house :)
Silas is working very hard to use the potty - we tried the usual tricks of chocolate which worked wonderfully with Sadie - but he is a wise little guy and held out
so we are using other methods of bribing - cars, superheros, plastic insects and animals - but it is working
Sadie is growing up so super fast - she picks out her clothes every night and gets herself dressed every day, she loves to cook and makes eggs, muffins and cookies
she is reading basic words and is learning to read full sentences
both kids spend most of their days drawing pictures - a typical day in our house involves lots of art supplies!
i have so many other stories to tell but right now we are enjoying the spring time weather
we are finally able to go down to the beach and collect beach glass
and we go for long walks and hikes on the weekends
we are still working out the logistics of school - Silas though will be going to http://www.montessori-holyrosary.org/ and we are waiting to hear back form a few schools for Sadie
aside from that we are busy planning the garden and playing as much as possible
i apologize for my few words - but life can get busy!

Sadie is going running!
