Lincoln had a play date scheduled for Saturday morning at the elementary school playground with other incoming Kindergartners, and he was so excited! We've been to a few of these "get to know you" play dates this summer, and it has been great playing with kids that will all be in Kindergarten together. They all go to different pre-K programs now so it's nice to get acquainted. Usually Beau accompanies us, but we left him home with Daddy this time. (Lincoln and Beau area so used to playing together, it's more comfortable for Linc to play with Beau first than branch out and play with the other kids.) Right away, Isak and Nick from our T-Ball and soccer teams ran up to Lincoln. They had the best time on the playground and tossing the Frisbee. Lincoln has never looked so 5 years old as he did on the school playground just playing with his friends as his Mommy wasn't needed and just looked on from the pavilion. It's great that he feels so comfortable with the kids and the playground. He can't wait for Kindergarten!
We did some shopping, had some lunch, played in a super intense indoor soccer game (that we won-still undefeated!), and had a delicious dinner at Mia's. Two superheroes got all cleaned up and decked out in their Spiderman pjs, and they looked super cute. It was a fun day!
Cuties all ready for church on Sunday morning . . . Mommy needs to work on tucking shirts in, right? They both look so grown up, and it's totally true that there are no babies in the Kuhlman house anymore.
We went to brunch after church and stopped by Central Market for dinner ingredients for the week. On the menu: beef fajitas, garlic pesto pork tenderloin, lemon rosemary chicken breasts, broccoli, Yukon gold potatoes, and green beans. Yummy!!! Daddy went to play golf in the afternoon, and the boys and Mommy hit up the pool with Nana and Pops. So much fun! Beau conquered jumping to Pops. Lincoln floated for a while then initiated a lively game of catch.
A few hours later we reconvened for fajitas for a pre-birthday celebration dinner for Mommy. Turning 35 means extra celebrating, so we had a pre-party on Sunday night. The fajitas Daddy grilled were delicious! Lincoln had wrapped a special pre-birthday gift to open on Birthday Eve. It was a framed picture from the dining room wrapped in notebook paper and taped up like crazy. It was super awesome because he is the sweetest and most thoughtful little gift-giver ever!!!! (He also gave me a wrapped and coin-filled liver pills bottle earlier in the week that he got from Poppa at our Arkansas visit. Love that he's giving me money! We might need to take that to the bank to get dollars!) Such a sweetie!
It wouldn't be a pre-birthday party with out pre-birthday cake, and the boys were most excited about that! They sang Happy Birthday so sweetly and gave lots instructions about how to make a wish.
These two had two slices of cake each! With extra icing! At 8:00 at night! And they wanted more! And they got chocolate everywhere! And the chocolate will never come out of these shirts in the wash! And it was awesome!
Best pre-birthday party ever, if you ask this birthday girl. Can't wait for the real deal on Monday! Lincoln has planned the menu, and he and Nana are in charge of décor and gifts and dessert. It will surely be a great day!
