Playing in his new sand table

Zane's birthday week started out at home as he had a fever, so I stayed home with him Monday and Matt stayed home with him Tuesday on his actual birthday. His last fever was on Monday evening, so he felt back to normal on his birthday. Tuesday Matt kept telling him that we were going to the "dinosaur place" for supper and Matt said that's all he could talk about. So after I got home from work, we headed that way. He was very excited to go there. Once we got to the restaurant, he was happy to see the big dinosaurs, but clung onto Matt when they growled. We were seated, and once he realized we were there to eat and not just to look at everything, he was not a happy camper! He kept saying "no eat." He finally calmed down and started watching all of the animals and action going on. He kept looking back at one of the dinosaurs saying "No, no dinosaur, don't eat us!"

After dinner, they came and brought him ice cream and sang happy birthday. He didn't quite know what to think of that, but he had a little grin on his face! Before we left, we went to their "build-a-dino" section and Zane built a dinosaur. Lucky for us, he doesn't yet realize you can get a bunch of accessories, so we got off pretty cheap! He named his dinosaur Bobby.
Wednesday, Zane had his party at Jo's house. He got lots of nice gifts from his friends there! Jo really spoils the kids and always knows how to make them feel special!
The rest of the week was very busy. I organized a retirement party at school and we had our annual kindergarten picnic and end-of-year party. I was tired by Friday! We headed to Iowa Friday night and got to Gaga/Papa Farmer's house around 9:00. When we left home it was 80 degrees and warm. By the time we got to Iowa...it was 53 degrees...what a change! Needless to say, the races were cancelled for the sixth time this year! We were able to spend a lot of quality time with Matt's parents this weekend!
We decided to head home today instead of waiting until tomorrow. We got home around 5:00. We were able to mow, do some laundry, unpack, and do a little shopping. Zane even ran through the sprinklers! It was almost 90 degrees here!!! What a change from Saturday's temperature in Iowa!!

Only 5 1/2 more days of school!!! Some schools are already out and I'm jealous! I'd love to start my summer already! I'm sure the end will go quickly and soon I'll be getting ready for the first day again. I'm going to try to make time slow down to enjoy this summer...wish me luck!
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy everything that matters to you!
