The weekend before kindergarten!

Friday morning was Kindergarten Orientation. We went to the school to meet Ollie's new teacher. This was more hectic than I thought it would be. There was more paperwork for us to fill out when we got there. Then the parents left the kids in the room with the teachers and had a meeting with the Principal. Then we took the kids on a self guided tour of the school to show them where the music room, gym, art room, computer lab, etc are. Then we practiced going through the lunch line. Ollie is more excited now because he already has 2 friends in his class! Nathan (from his daycare) and Jay (up the street)! At the end of orientation we let the kids play on the playground for a bit. Then Ollie and I had a picnic at City Centre Park before I went back to work.

Kathryn & Ollie on the playground. They will have recess together!

Ollie & Jay are in the same class!
After work on Friday, I picked up Ollie and we headed to the Mall to meet Spongebob!!! We got in line at 4:30 and only had to wait an hour! I heard other people waited for 3 1/2 hours. Yikes! After we met Spongebob Ollie really wanted a balloon animal so we waited in another line for an hour for a balloon. I should have scored some major mommy points Friday night!

Saturday morning we stopped by the Little Gym before stroller class to watch Ivy. It was her last class. It looks like she really enjoys it!

Saturday afternoon Papa, John, Kevin & Ollie worked on Aunt Erin's fence.
The girls hung out and talked. Ivy played in her sand box!


Then it was time for a dip in the pool.
Check out Ollie swimming with no floaties!!! He has learned so much this summer!

This morning I took Ollie to Pump It Up in New Town. It is like Monkey Joe's. Ollie had a blast!
