July Birthday fun

The other week at daycare, Sydney got very upset.  It was a few hours after Brian had dropped her off.  For whatever reason, she kept crying for me.  She has never done that.  She always loves school and is usually fine.  But for some reason she was really upset.  The teachers tried calming her down but nothing worked.  So her teacher decided to take her for a walk to see Austin.  They went into Austin's room.  Then as Austin said, he was confused on why Sydney was in there.  He thought maybe it was because maybe it was picture day.  The teachers were impressed and told us how Austin was concerned and went over to her to help.  Sydney told him that she wanted mommy.  Austin told her that mommy will be here after work and not to worry.  And then he gave her a big hug and picked her up off the floor.  Sydney felt so much better and then went back to her room.  He calmed her down when no one else could and she stopped crying.  Austin was a great big brother and was so good with her.  Austin is very caring does a great job helping Sydney when she needs it!  All the teachers were impressed.
For my mom's birthday, we went down to Menard's.  Brian needed to get supplies for our hot water tank. Then we went to Rockne's for dinner.  The kids were fairly good at dinner.  We don't eat out often.  After dinner, we went back to their house for cake.  The kids made the cake.  They are good in the kitchen.  The kids made her a planter with their footprints on it.  I thought it turned out really cute.

We took the kids to a Rubber Ducks game with my parents.  We were supposed to go in May but it got rained out.  My mom exchanged the tickets for us.  Our new seats were right behind home plate.  It was awesome.  The kids made a duck hat.  Then they got a duck whistle.  I am not a fan of it since it is so loud, but the kids love it!  They also got to go down the bouncy slide.  They saw Jake the Pirate and mascots of the rubber ducks.  It was a great day.

After the game, we went back to my parents house for pizza.  The kids love pizza now.  Sydney really only eats the pepperoni and Austin likes cheese pizza.  Then we had cake for Papa's birthday.  Again the kids made it.  It was really good.

Our garden is doing okay.  The green beans are doing fantastic.  We have had a lot of them and they are good.  Nothing else has grown enough to eat yet.  We have a few green tomatoes and it appears watermelon and a few cucumbers.  Austin and Sydney have enjoyed the garden.  The like to water it and pick the green beans.  Even though I don't like gardening much, it has been fun with the kiddos.  We'll probably do it again next year.
