Kira's New Playset

A good friend of mine from work and his wife graciously gave us their used playcenter now that their kids are a bit older. They also helped us move it to our house! Kira and her friends had sooo much fun trying it out this weekend! It was a beautiful sunny spring day, and at any point in time, there were between 5-8 girls playing. Kira is thrilled with the playset AND a great excuse for the kids to play at HER house now!






The one below is all the girls sitting on benches while they picked teams and discussed the name for their "camp".


And my favorite picture...

Kira's First Soccer Game!

Kira is on a Kindergarten soccer team now. With the rainly cool weather, the had a whopping 2 practices before their first game this Saturday! Let me preface the game by letting you know how adorable, informal, and hillarious it was!

First, they broke up each team into two smaller teams. So Kira was one of 5 from her school. But they always had 2 sitting out and 3 on the field. And the best part... no goalies! Hey- they were lucky to kick the ball, needless to say in the right direction. Surprisingly, the kids seemed to get the hang of remembering which goal was theirs. After about 30 minutes, it started to rain, and they called the game. Kira says they won, but I was too busy giggling at the cute kids slapping "good game" in the rain to notice the call!





Sharing a Yummy Dessert

At the end of April, we headed to Illinois to have a late Easter. We went out for a great brunch. The highlight at the end was Kira and Daddy sharing a decadent banana fosters dessert.
