Cooling off

Nothing beats getting out the hose on a hot pre-summer day.  It's amazing how entertaining and fun water can be.  Aah, the simple pleasures in life!

Round Table Pizza field trip

We took a fun field trip to Round Table Pizza with Nina's preschool class.  The girl's got a behind the scenes peek on how they prep the food and actually got to help make some things as well.  

Here is Nina squishing some pizza dough.

 Nina got to help put pepperoni on one of the pizzas.  She's an awesome kitchen helper.

Here she is prepping potato wedges. 

 The best part was enjoying all of their hard work.  It sure was yummy!

 Our preschool group.  These ladies and their kids are the greatest.

Repurposing Project

I tried my hand at a repurposing project.  I had a blue striped shirt and a red shirt and made skirts for the little girls.  Too bad I didn't take a "before" picture.  Anyways, here is an after shot of the girlies in their skirts.

 Guess it was a long day for this one.  We found her sleeping like this in the hallway.

Shopping buddies

As much as I dread grocery shopping, I couldn't ask for a better pair to shop with.  Here's documentation of a trip to Sam's.

 LOVE these little faces!

Decorating Eggs

This year we dyed our Easter eggs with Kool-aid.  It was a great way to go.  It smelled great and the colors turned out great.

Nothing beats Susie's body language and expression in this picture!  She was mesmerized by the whole process.

 Grandma even got in on the decorating fun.

 The finished products.

A trip to Grandma Lemmon's

One of my all-time favorite places to visit is Grandma Lemmon's in Los Osos.  I have so many great memories there and it is so fun having my children to make new memories there in some of my favorite places.  

My grandma was watching a little girl that week during her spring break so she brought over her huge horse.  Nina was beyond delighted.

 Here we are at Montana de Oro playing with the rocks on the beach.

 Susie did not hesitate to join in the fun.

 No trip is complete without a visit to feed the sea lions and see the aquarium in Morro Bay.

 We visited Cal Poly to see all the animals and it was the perfect time to go.  There were tons of baby animals and we even saw a baby horse being born!

 We headed over to beautiful Avila Beach and went on the pier.

Dewar's field trip

One of my favorite things to do is go on a preschool field trip.  We always get to go to the most fun places and they usually involve good food.  This field trip was to the ice cream and candy store Dewar's.  We got to go on a tour of the facility and most importantly we got to sample their candy and ice cream.

Here are the girls sporting their hair nets ready to go inside the candy making room.

 Here they were explaining how they make their delicious chewy candies.

 The machine that stretches it and rolls out the candy.
