Spring Lunch Bunch, Spring Learning Experience and Friends

The week before spring break has been hectic, but a lot of fun. Gavin's pre-school had a fundraiser lunch called a "Lunch Bunch" on Monday. We have pizza, fruit and dessert with all the kids and families of the pre-school during an extended lunch. Each class put together a basket that are raffled off to raise money for the school. Gavin's class was fortunate to put together a Sports Basket. How perfect! Anyway, I didn't do the redeye here to fix it, but all the kids come out together and then they say grace as a group. Gavin was a bit nervous.

This morning was Ian's Spring Learning Experience. I've been able to help with the Fall and Winter ones and they are a lot of fun. They have "centers" and at each center is a project related to the season. In this picture, Ian was making a butterfly out of a coffee filter, markers with some water and a clip.

Ian tricked me...he pretended that he was going to eat his paintbrush! At this station he painted a clay pot. He was quite the artist!

Ben and Luke came over to our house to play for a little bit. Ian and Luke had fun with the track ball game.

They even made a hopscotch.

Gavin was VIP at school today and he took his "soccer gear" for his show and tell. Oh yes...his soccer bag, soccer ball, cleats, shinguards and soccer socks. He didn't pack his shorts or shirt. I don't think he thought they would be cool enough! LO L

His first practice is TOMORROW! Hard to believe! He has been looking forward to this day for quite awhile. Ian will have his first practice at the same exact time! The good thing is that it's at the same park. Cailean will be at the baseball field (he's now an assistant coach) and I'll be at the soccer field, but making sure I watch some baseball from there, too. :)

Aunt Sandi is flying down from NY and will witness this big event!!!
