Happy Fourth!

July 7, 2016 / eaumaison / 0 Comments

We spent the holiday in Grand Junction visiting both Waterhouses and Masons. The kids had a blast! I didn’t take too many pictures, but I have these at least:

I spent most of my time doing a puzzle 🙂

The boys showed off their swimming skills.

Tuckered out Sam every afternoon (of course, he stayed up late each night in exchange!)

I made a flag cake!

Sparklers and fireworks on the third, after dinner with all the family together.

More swimming, with a surprise frog visitor.

The boys were positively pickled after hours of swimming on our last day.

Sam nodded off before we crossed the town border on our way home on the 4th.

Within an hour of leaving I got this photo. So glad it got done! Sad I couldn’t do it all while I was there though. I picked on too big for the weekend.

We drove through Vail during their fireworks display. Perfect timing! Jack declared “Those fireworkds really saved the day. It’s a good thing we saw them. It was almost the worst Fourth of July EVER.” //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

We had no idea fireworks were so important to him 🙂 Noted for next year.

I can’t believe I’m doing this. But I realized there’s few things I’m a fanatic about. Fancy tiger is one of those things. So I got up at 6:30 on a Saturday to attend their 10 year anniversary. The first 150 people get a bag of freebies.

I’m #29. Got my knitting and Netflix with me. Only 2.5 hours until they open!

Jack turned SIX!

It was a magical birthday! You guys keep complaining that I’m not blogging. I know, I know, I know. I’ll at least throw these pictures up here. Jack had an absolutely fantastic day. Everything turned out wonderful. He had friends from all areas of life come to his party, his grandparents came to visit, and he got everything he was hoping for. Oh, to be six again, right?

The school year is ending soon and Jack is excited for Field Day this morning. So many fun things to do in May!

Happy Mother’s Day!

The dance craze sweeping Kindergarten; a Cinco de Mayo gift from Jack.

April showers look awfully fluffy and white in Colorado.

School Pictures II: Revenge of the Kindergarten – UPDATED

April 22, 2016 / eaumaison / 0 Comments

So there was a notice about spring school pictures. “Since when do they do pictures more than once?” I asked Ben. “Since whenever they figured they could make more money” he wisely replied. “Well, not from me” I declared, and resolved not to give them money and threw the flyer away.

Then I felt all sad and nostalgic and my babies are growing so fast and I tried to log on to order them later. But alas, I didn’t have the code and their website sucks, so I gave up.

Then Jack gave himself a haircut that week. Then Jack had his other front tooth pulled that week. Then Jack tripped and smacked his head the day before.

Alright, totally not buying pictures. But I kinda wish I could see them. I dutifully dressed him and combed him in case there was a class portrait too, so he would look nice for others.

Fast forward a month and Jack brings this home:

You guys. Wat. Seriously? Have you ever seen such doofy crazy eyes? I’ll zoom in for you.

//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js

Seriously? So fabulous.

I swear I didn’t order these. I have no idea why we got them. And it’s not just a couple prints. They sent me a deluxe set.

So please, email me that you want 5×7’s, 4×6’s, wallets, and keychains of this amazing Ode to the Kindergarten Trifecta of Accidents. We’ll keep the puzzle portrait for ourselves.

UPDATE – I logged into LifeTouch and it prompted me to “Order more portraits or pay for portraits I already received.” Looking at the fine print, it appears this is a marketing ploy. I’m supposed to return any unwanted prints to them via the school. I think we will keep the “fun pack” with the puzzle, but return the rest unless someone wants to pay for it themselves.
