So much fun going on here . . . Let's start with Lincoln reading AGAIN. He was reading a book to Beau, and he said a sentence with the word "but" as in "that looked yummy, but". The fit of giggles they erupted in was massive. "Lincoln said BUTT!!!!" See, reading is fun!
Friday was the 100th day of school, and the Kindergartners had lots of 100 themed activities planned for Friday. They were also supposed to come to school dressed like a 100 year old. Lincoln chose to go with a older stylish yet quirky look. Nice pants, fancy shirt, sharp vest, and a Razorback bow tie! Cutest 100 year old EVER!
After we sent Lincoln off to school, Beau had some playtime and lunch at home. We have been talking about transitioning Beau from his toddler bed to a big kid bed for a few days, so we decided that Friday was the day to find a bed. Ikea was our destination, and Beau loved it. He posed next to each bed and voted whether he liked it or not! Note: the bed in the picture is not the one we picked, but he was looking super silly. He had so much fun and told every single person in Ikea that he needed a 4 year old bed because he is almost 4. We also found a dresser and nightstand to match his new bed. Success . . . except that Idea furniture has to be put together at home. More about that later!
After our trip to Ikea, we picked Lincoln up from his 100th day of Kindergarten. He had fun being dressed up and with all of their special activities. He played on the playground with his friends for a while then we headed to the library for a few Accelerated Reader quizzes. He aced the 3 quizzes and lot to Level 5! Such a happy guy and encouraging little brother!
On Friday evening, Daddy did a lot of assembling of he aforementioned bed. It was eventful to say the least. Beau was excited to help. Pictures of his new room will come soon, but his new bedding hasn't arrived yet. (That's because it wasn't ordered until Friday night at 11:00 pm because we didn't actually plan on buying the bed on Friday!!!) On Saturday, Lincoln had a basketball game that was great. Lots of participation and good effort from all the kids. Lincoln is really improving at basketball, and we all love that. They actually have semi-pass plays to run, and it's super fun. Nana and Pops came over to help with the rest of the furniture assembly after the game, but the boys had to play outside in the almost 70 degree weather. It was so nice!
Lincoln joined Daddy for a short round of golf later in the afternoon, and he did great. They had a fun time together.
Beau ran out of steam around 5:30 and crashed for about 30 minutes. Truth: he had played all day without any rest time and wanted some cookies at 5:00. Mommy said no because he had already had two snacks and dinner was soon. He pouted angrily for 30 minutes then finally gave in to the tiredness!
We had a nice dinner at Manny's, the boys watched a few TMNT and Scooby movies before bed. Sunday was church, brunch at the club, golf for Daddy, grocery shopping for Mommy and the boys. Tom Tom and Central Market are easier for a Mom if she goes solo, but it way more fun if two sweeties come along!!!
We unloaded our groceries for the week and headed for an afternoon of tennis to enjoy the wonderful weather. Lincoln made us put our rackets in (like hands before a game) and yell "1 2 3 Tennis Time!!!" We got several smiles and laughs from golfers in the parking lot. They were excited!
We played for two hours. Lincoln led us in a few tennis drills, we played the line game, and we attempted to actually "play" tennis together. It's not as easy as it sounds, but it was super fun! These BFFs are the best!
We were still there when Daddy finished golfing, so we had dinner on the patio and soaked up the last warm moments of an awesome day! It was a super special day . . . not because it was special in any extraordinary way, but because it was completely ordinary and completely fun and completely real life with our family of four.
