Memorial Day & A Luau

We had such a great time last weekend and the fun continued when we came home from Lancaster.  First Preston was presented with these funny new glasses from Grandma:

We had a few of our neighbors over for a Memorial Day BBQ last Monday.  It’s been beyond hot here in Virginia for late May/early June. It feels more like August already.  Here are some pictures from Memorial Day.

We were all drinking my father’s fab pina coladas and Preston wanted to dazzle up his lemonade with a fancy umbrella and straw.  My mother made her homemade macaroni salad.  While cutting up the olives she asked Preston if he would like to try one, to which he retorted, “Nah Grandma. I’m not really a big fan of olives.”  Seriously is this kid four or eighty?

Due to the ridiculous humidity the past week we have had some unbelievable thunderstorms.  Here is Pres on the porch watching the rain come down.

This past Friday marked the end of the school year and the summer program begins tomorrow.  The school put on their end of year luau.  Before the festivities the Montessori class performed a bunch of numbers, The Continents Song, Going on a Rocket Ship, counting in Spanish, the Planets and the Mathematics Macarena.  This was so cute although Pres was not super into doing the actual Macarena.  I told him I knew the Macarena and when I proceeded to do it at home he looked embarrassed for me.  In any event here is a video. I have no idea what my nosey son is looking at to the right of him-someone I believe had a video camera!

Each kid also won an award and Preston won best smile!

After that it was outside for the luau!

Yes.  That’s right folks! Preston has won for the THIRD time in the history of the day care doing raffles-the Nabisco food basket.  When the director pulled his name she literally said, “I cannot believe it!”  I did buy a lot of tickets but what are the odds?  Even the teachers that morning kept saying how strange it would be if he won again.  I really need to get this child to play Mega Millions.

Yesterday was Maddy’s second birthday party!  How cute are Preston and Maddy?  Jordana and Sam put on an awesome party with tons of food!  Have a great week everyone!
