Spring Sing & Mother's Day

It was an exciting week for us. We were looking forward to our Spring Sing on Friday. We also looked forward to Mother's Day - Noah even made a paper chain to count down the days from Wednesday!
We helped Daddy wrap Mommy's mother's day present on Thursday. I helped color the wrapping paper to make it pretty. Noah came in the kitchen and told we got her a keyboard for a surprise! Daddy was very unhappy, but mom said Noah may not even know that he spilled the beans. He was very excited and only referred to it as a "surprise" from then until when she opened it.
When we took our baths, Mom told us that Grandma & Grandpa were going to come see us sing on Friday. We were so excited - Mom said our eyes lit up when she told us! She wanted to make it a surprise, but didn't want it to distract us when we were singing.
Friday, I got to wear a fancy dress and Noah wore his Thomas overalls. We practiced in the cafeteria before our parents showed up, then we sang with our class.We did a great job! We were very excited when we came in to see Grandma Diane, Grandpa Mark, Mom and Dad all there to see us. Some of the kids cried, some of the kids didn't sing but we sang nicely. Mom said Noah can't wear his overalls next year because he tugged at them most of the program. She said he was distracting but not really naughty. Afterwords, we got to bring our grown-ups back to our classroom and show off our room, our projects AND have TWO cookies! YUM!
After Spring Sing, Grandpa wanted to go shopping, so we went to a tool store. It was really cool, but Mommy was tired of Noah touching everything so we went outside to play. We went next door to a furniture store and tried out all their chairs, then walked around to find a playroom. That was really cool to have a place to play with toys where Mommy wasn't telling us to stop touching everything. Daddy & Grandpa came to get us, then we went to Target and tried on hats while Grandma & Grandpa shopped.After shopping, we were STARVING so Daddy took us all out to eat at the VFW. We got to see some planes take off and land, and got some yummy food. It was so great to spend time with Grandma & Grandpa.
Saturday, we were very quiet and patient waiting for Grandma & Grandpa to get up so we could play with them. Daddy decided that we would go to the park & have a picnic because Grandma & Grandpa had to leave after lunch.
Before we went to the park, we gave Grandma her Mother's Day present. She let us help her open it. Then we went to the big car wash to get Grandma's truck washed. It got really dark when we went inside, then we got out of the truck so a girl & boy could wash inside and make it REALLY SHINY! We even got to go inside a room where we could see the other cars getting washed.
We went to the park with the BIG nets & play equipment, then had sandwiches with Grandma & Grandpa before they left.We were sad to see Grandma & Grandpa go, but we got to go to the library then home for quiet time. We were so tired, we both slept!
Saturday night, we got to go out to eat again. We must be very good kids to go out to restaurants twice this weekend! After we ate, we came home and got to hang out with Griffin, Dan & Melissa for a short time. We were going to have a bonfire, but it got too late after playing with our friend. Maybe next week, we can have a bonfire. We were glad to get to play with Griffin since it's been a long winter of being couped up inside.
Noah was kind and shared his Woody pajamas with me Saturday night, so I could pretend to be Jesse from Toy Story.
Today, we got up and played quietly so Mommy could sleep in a little bit. Then we went to Sunday School. They had cupcakes & juice for teacher appreciation Sunday, then we went to our classroom and planted flowers for Mommy. It was our last day of Sunday School, so we're very sad about that. TJ & Penny have made the Sunday School Year so much fun! It's been awesome.
Mom & Dad went to church, so we hung out in the nursery with our Sunday School friends & Kasey. We got to draw on the sidewalk and play on the playground. It was a great day! Then we came home to eat Mac & Cheese - our favorite.
While we had dinner, we gave Mommy all her presents. Of course, we (us and daddy) got her a new keyboard for her computer. We made her pretty hearts with our pictures on them in preschool (we wrapped them in pretty boxes and held the boxes when we did our Mommy in a Box song for Spring Sing). At Sue's, we made her a bookmark and little decorated jewelry box and filled it with candy for her. And, we gave her the flowers we planted in Sunday School. We helped Daddy spoil Mommy and make her feel really special because we love her so much.
We got to play with Mommy inside (because it was raining outside). After watching our Spring Sing concert that daddy taped (and singing along), Daddy made dinner. It was a delicious steak, potatoes and cheese bread. We were so full, but we still had room for the ding-dongs that TJ & Penny gave us in class. :-) Yum!
What a busy weekend! We gave Mommy an extra special hug tonight before we went to bed. We're so lucky to have a Mommy & Daddy who take such great care of us.
Happy Mother's Day to our Mommy, Grandmas and Great Grandmas!
