Summer 2010 thus far.....

Yesterday morning, we drove to a local strawberry patch in Poland, Maine.....@ Chipman Farms. It was the first time that the boys had ever gone strawberry picking. I have gone a few times before, and the last time that I went I was pregnant with Henry (that may explain why he LOVES strawberries!!). We had a great time, everyone was well behaved, and we tasted some incredibly delicious berries. SOOO much better than the store. I can't even compare the difference in quality. It is like night and day!! Here are some pictures from our little trip.

This summer has reall been awesome so far. The weather really has been great, and we have been outside part or most of every day the past few weeks.

Last night, we had our first movie night of the summer with Paul and Henry. We watched the first Toy Story. The boys received the DVD from Grandma Jane and Papa Jon for Christmas.

The boys and I took a trip to CVS in the afternoon so that they could pick out their own candy bars. We also let them have their very first soda ever. Paul thought that was especially neat!!

LAST day of school!!

So, Paul's LAST DAY of Kindergarten was today, June 8, 2010! What a crazy, fun, and FAST year that was....phew! I am worn out, but Paul learned so much and had a great time. I can't believe that growth that he achieved over the past 10 months. Truly amazing! Learning how to write words, then sentences, and then reading them too! Drawing pictures and writing a story to go with them! Expressing himself in so many ways, and becoming more independent...tying his shoes on his own! Picking out his clothes, getting dressed, and getting ready for school all by himself. It is really wonderful watching him grow up right before my eyes. : )

Below is the first day of school in August 2009....followed by 2 pictures from today, the last day of school, June 8, 2010.

Here is Paul running into school, on his last day of Kindergarten! : )

This is a picture of the boys last night at Park Ave. We went to a family picnic and to listen to a Steel Drum Band! It was GREAT!! The boys danced and ran all over the place after eating dinner. We ordered out some Italian sandwiches, and brought chips and drinks and brownies!! LOTS of fun!
