On Thursday this school year Anna and Henry are going to have an art play date before story time. This week they decorated aliens and rocket ships. Anna spent most of her time working on coloring one red alien while Henry and Sam were a assembly line of decorating.
We went to the state fair on Saturday. Really nothing could be better then an afternoon of eating corn dogs, looking at draft horses, petting pigs, a six dollar pony ride, meeting Smokey the Bear, watching cows get judged on how full the hind ends are, and learning that our pet walking sticks are a "forbidden, invasive, insect ... who are NOT allowed in Oregon" and all the ways we must destroy them.
Today we went out for ice cream with Henry and Walter to celebrate Henry's last day at pre-school (the 1/2 day school). It was really sweet and a little sad today, Henry and Anna have been the best of friends since Anna's first day at school ... and this year they will both be at different places.
Sam had his two year check up today. He is weighing in at 29 1/2 lbs (50%) and is 34 1/2" tall (75%). His growth has slowed down in the last few months but the doctor is not worried about it. No for Sam shots today, we will have to go back in a month for the flu shot once his cold clears up a little.
