no more teacher’s dirty looks

Kickball, funky relay races, and sticky sugary treats. That’s what field day is all about. Don’t you remember? It was obvious they saved the most important life skills for the end of the school year.

What skills you ask? Well, holding a sopping wet sponge with just my chin is something I do everyday…

Or passing a rubber chicken using only your elbows. That comes in handy all the time!

Drew got first place in the chicken throw. Just look at that technique! And while you’re looking, check out that substitute teacher! Somebody call Geico, we found their missing cavewoman!

The cost of NASCAR pit crew training was pricey, but worth every penny.

Mr. organized list maker made sure we packed all the necessary ingredients to ensure a good time at the splash party.

One year down, 12 to go. Congrats future class of 2021! We’ll remember always, especially with these awesome kindergarten scrapbooks Drew’s teacher put together.

The proud graduate and his fantastic teacher. And by fantastic, we mean supercalafragalisticexpealadocious. If it was a real word, it would describe the awesomeness that was Drew’s kindergarten year, thanks to this lady.

Not only Drew will miss her.  We had plans. She was supposed to teach Brinley when she goes to Kindy…good thing we rent. We can follow this teacher wherever she may go! hi ho!

It doesn’t matter if you go to all-day kindergarten or half-day kindergarten, you still get a whole snow cone. Brinley snagged one too, and was too busy to smile for the camera, of course.

Now that school’s out, it’s time to let that inner bad boy out too. Rebellious move #1: Get a tattoo!

Rest assured, there will be no mohawk, or faux-hawk for that matter, following this tattoo. Nope, nuh-uh, no how, no way.

Rebellious move #2: Convince little sister to get a tattoo too. Awesome!

And that marks the beginning of summer! YA-HOO!

Maybe we had too much cake and ice cream. Maybe we partied just a little too hard. Maybe it’s just spring time and all kinds of bugs and germs are swarming about. Maybe.

Whatever the case, all of us got a variety of yuck during this last week. Drew had it worst, and therefore was the “lucky” one who got the real drugs. Doesn’t he look ecstatic?

We all spent a lot of time sleeping and trying to rest off all the hacking, wheezing, overall goober-ness. Edgar was Drew’s knight in red fur. Anytime we got close to check on the sleeping scoob the pig would grind his teeth on the bed as a method of intimidation. Terrified, aren’t you?

Or maybe he was just trying to deflect blame from giving us all his own version of swine flu. Say what?!

the weekend that wasn’t

Drew is a casualty of the current roller coaster weather and has a case of the flu. Perfect timing of course, as this was a three-day weekend for all of us to enjoy fantastic family fun-ness together.

I got a mani/pedi done during some down time. These salon girls keep getting younger and younger!

You have to pay top dollar to get precision like this.

Manicure complete. Great job Binnie! We are starting a whole new fashion trend right now!

The pedicure turned out mighty fine as well. Put it all on my tab, OK Binnie? Best part is, I have no nail polish remover!

Drew stayed right where he belonged and spent his time reviewing our vast Pixar & Dreamworks collection. Poor Scoob. Get better quick dude, the weatherman says it’s gonna be sunny soon!
