Kindergarten Graduation and Other Fun Stuff

Brooklyn graduated from Kindergarten yesterday. 

She is such a smart girl and I am so proud at how much she has learned this year in school. Their class demonstrated how they can count to 100, say all the days of the week and all of the months. I have heard her practice when she comes to our house and she is always so good at it all. Often when she tries to figure out what day tomorrow is she will sing the days of the week song she learned in school.

 After her graduation Chris and I had to go back to work and Mimi took Gavin and Chan to the Zoo. A short while later we got a text from Brooklyn's mom. Brooklyn has been asking to come stay at our house and now that Brooklyn is out of school she doesn't mind if she spends a week night with us. So, as soon as I got off work I picked her up and we headed to the Zoo... unfortunately when we got there the boys were done so we met them at This Is The Place in the gift shop. 

It's a little blurry but she wouldn't let me take another picture.... even though she thought it was hilarious.

Once we met up we headed to The Gateway for a treat and a movie. We got some delicious frozen yogurt at Juicy Berry.

We played in the fountains just a little, but not too much. We didn't want to be wet and cold for the movie so we didn't go too crazy. 

Brooklyn didn't decide that she actually wanted to run through the water until Chan had to go to the bathroom so they didn't actually run though the water at the same time.

I decided to take off Gavin's shorts because they got really wet and then he wanted everything off. I guess that's one benefit of being a baby. No one cares if you're naked :)

They were holding hands and walking until Brooklyn realized I was trying to take a picture. She was so embarrassed lol.

We saw the movie "Epic". It was a cute show. I've heard mixed reviews. I would say it was better then "Thumbelina" but not as good as "Toy Story". Gavin slept through most of the movie so we all got to actually see the movie... which was great!

 

After the movie we loaded up and headed home. It was raining really hard but we got to see a beautiful double rainbow on our way. 

At home we got ready for bed and then Brooklyn painted my nails and hers with her new polish. It was a pretty glittery gold. She is getting really good at painting nails. Unfortunately it washes off in water cause it looked pretty cute. 

Brooklyn said the sweetest family night time prayer. She asked that the Holy Spirit could be with us and guide us and that out bodies can stay clean and that when they get dirty we can clean them. It's so fun to watch Brooklyn learn things about the gospel. Sometimes it reminds me of when children first learn to talk they don't always say things quite right but overtime with guidance they figure it out. 

Silly banana boy.
