Our weekend

and boy it was a busy weekend.

Saturday morning we had preschool round-up for next year. In case you are confused, in Story City the kids can go to preschool for two years. So Ryan went at age 3 and he will go next year at age 4. He loves preschool so that is okay with him. Anyway, at preschool round-up we met all the kids (and parents) that will be in his class next year, filled out a bunch of paperwork and officially registered.

After preschool round-up we drove to Grinnell for my cousins graduation party. My family filled Ryan up with sugar - cake, brownies, cupcakes, juice and ice cream. Good thing that doesn't happen very often. We spent all afternoon and evening in Grinnell. It was a great party. Of course, Ben had to miss it all. Because of the crazy spring rain, he now has to be in the fields pretty much around the clock so he can get all the crops in the ground before the next rain.

Ryan and my other cousin, Cody, caught a baby rabbit. He thought that was pretty cool!

On Sunday morning, I had a few minutes to get some housework done while Ryan helped grandma bake cookies. Then in the afternoon, Ryan and I met Erin/Matt and the kids at Little Wall Lake for a boat ride. It was a blast and Ryan had so much fun. I am looking forward to many camping and boating trips this summer.

Don't those lifejackets straps look comfortable??!?!

Going fast! I think they were getting water sprayed in their faces

Poor Aubrey couldn't even sit upright with that lifejacket on

When we got home from Little Wall my grandparents were here. They came to visit for a few days and to go to Ryan's end of year preschool program tomorrow night. We headed to Lowe's to get some supplies to work on Ryan swingset. Came home and got right to work.

Check back soon to see how Ryan does at his program tomorrow night...should be interesting. 3-4-5 year olds perform in a singing program.
