Ryan's last day of 3's

I can't believe how fast that incredibly short school year went! Ryan made some really good buddies that he will definitely miss. A few have family in Baltimore so hopefully we will still get to see them.  He really came out of his (can't you tell) shell at school this year. For a good amount of the year he would still have to be pulled off my leg once we got to school even though he loved it. By the end, he didn't even turn around to tell me goodbye. He was the youngest by a long shot because of the way the cut-off runs (Dec 31st and he is a Jan 6 baby) so most of his friends are going to Kindergarten next year. He hung in there though. Having a big brother definitely helped. 

One more year of preschool before he gets to, and I quote, "ride the yellow bus with Andrew, but against the window." We love you little stubborn mule:)

Andrew's Field Day

So much fun! I remember just LOVING field day, and I think Andrew does too! Sack races, tug-o-war, obstacle courses, octopus tag, soccer, exercise ball tag, relay races...on and on. I love watching them all have fun.

                                                 Daddy even got to come for a few hours!

Coney Island

After almost three years here, we finally ventured to Coney Island! I don't know why we never went before. It was an easy 30 minute drive, we found great parking and it was super empty in the earlier part of the day. 

 We walked the boardwalk until Luna Park opened and then got to ride all the rides we wanted with almost no wait. We left after a few hours and it was perfect timing!

 After all the rides we had to take a short sand break.

 Eating Nathan's famous dogs!

 The NYC skyline. Last drive in for that view for awhile.

 Then we headed into Central Park for a relaxing dinner with some friends.

 I asked Andrew to make a card for his teachers for Teacher's Appreciation Day. This was my favorite. She had just told the class she was pregnant. And his letters are weird because he is "writing in cursive"

 One of the KPMG wives had a going away party for myself, Kathy and Brooke whose families are all leaving in a few weeks. She had a WONDERFUL spread of food and it was so nice to be able to get to catch up with some of the ladies before we leave:(

 Ryan has had a few accidents the last few weeks. First he was running laps in our apartment and fell and hit his head on the metal brake of Andrew's scooter (because it lives in our hall). He had (and actually still has) an EGG on his head.

                                                  Superheros for lunch-who are your lunch guest?

  Daddy was away at Uncle Pat's graduation so the boys and I "camped out" on the air mattress for movie night.

 Mom had a few good pictures I didn't have-

                                      Just a little reading

 Ryan's second accident. Scootering while talking and looking behind him. Into a low fence.

                       Somebody loves their kitty. Yes, he had just hit Fasbee in the top picture.

 After I took this picture, I realized how short these shorts were. He wore pants to school that day and it got reallllly hot. So I pulled some out of the stroller. And they said 24 months. But they fit-kinda....

 I got to go with Andrew's class on their last field trip of the year to the 92 Street YMCA. They have been doing an entire music series that has been amazing.
