If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands…

Nate had a VERY busy day today! This morning he had his graduation ceremony in which he sang “If you’re happy and you know it”.  He did a great job and in my opinion was he loudest of the group! It was a great ceremony and it is always emotional to see the bigger kids recite their speech as they graduate.

After the ceremony, we ate lunch at the O.K. Café in Atlanta with Julia’s friend, Laila and her daughter Lillia. (I probably murdered those spellings. If you’re reading, please forgive me!) Lunch was good and so was the company!!

Julia, Nate, and Scott hung out the rest of the afternoon.  I know Nate had a fun time and he told me he got some ice cream! Where can you go wrong with ice cream?!

Busy day!

I stayed in Marietta this weekend and we had a blast! Friday night I babysat the sweet neighbors youngest, Margaret. We had so much fun!

Saturday we loaded up the car and headed to the lake with Julia’s friend Janie and her precious baby girl, Maddie! Nate loved the water and enjoyed jumping in and floating around on the giant tube float! (Pictures to follow as soon as I find some to share!) I kept both of the neighbors little girls Saturday night and Rebecca and I played with puzzles, read lots of stories, and cuddled a bit before bed.

Sunday we relaxed! Julia and Nate visited the “Tractor Store” as Nate calls it. We call it Home Depot! He love ANYTHING tractor so of course Home Depot is a favorite. That boy would rather go sit on the tractors at HD than go to a park any day!!

Speaking of parks,  today was Nate’s school end-of-the-year party at the East Cobb Park. We met with several of the kids and teachers from his school for fun and fellowship. Unfortunately, the morning was dreary and rainy. But the kids did get some playground time, albeit it was wet. After the party at the park we headed home for a nap! Nate was suchhhh a big boy and got in bed and took a great nap! I had to wake him up! We are working on getting into the routine of napping when we get home from school. Since he was at school in the afternoons during regular session, he napped at school. Now that school is out and he will only be going to camp for half a day we need to make that adjustment! I must say, he definitely is doing well and being a big boy!

After nap we made muffins! Nate loves blueberry muffins! He enjoyed helping me stir but I think he liked licking the batter better! I managed to get some shots of him in action!

Sneaking a lick as we filled the tin!

The final product! YUMMM!

Just chilling on his police car eating blueberry muffins.

Later this afternoon, Julia’s friend Holly and her son Will stopped by. They were in the neighborhood and saw us outside. Nate loved playing with Will and drove him up and down the driveway! These two played so well together!

Here are some random shots of us throughout the day.

He helped me get ready today by blow drying my hair! What a big helper!

Say cheese!

Here is a video of cuteness! He loves taking videos!
