Over the past month and a half we have been busy {which goes with out saying} Easter, Chattanooga, Atlanta, Mothers Day....So the boys are finishing up the school year soon and i can not wait to get airey's 1st pre-k assessment! He is such a smart lil guy, so i know his official report card with be all AAAA's... Campbell doesn't quite get a report card yet but the book his MDO teachers made for me made my heart melt with his pics throughout the year and references to Double Trouble and I love my Mammy, etc.. speaking of Lovies ... Roger and I decided the easter bunny was going to take Airey's Lammy "to a new baby to live with" in exchange for a basket of goodies. Well i wasn't as prepared to say goodbye to the lovie that he or I loved so much. I bought Lammy when I was 5 weeks prego and it was the very 1st purchase I made. Roger and I slept with Lammy in the bed with us until he was born and Airey has slept with him 4 1/2 years since. I went up that night at 1am to get him and when I pulled it out of his little sleeping hand {a image ill never forget} my heart broke a little: one, because i realized I was taking something he loved SO much and two: because it meant i didn't have a little boy anymore. Well i smelled it and held it to my face for an hour and sobbed like a baby while Roger consoled me. I put him in a box and hope one day when airey gets a little older he can come for a visit. The dentists said it was time b/c the thumb sucking needed to go and so we decided well if we are going to break airey we might as well break campbell. I bought this Malva stuff you paint on their nails and it DID the trick. I have two thumb free boys! I took lots of pics of them sucking their thumbs and especially Campbell {he looked so sweet!} so honestly it was the best thing and they both did UNBELIABLY great! A little tears on day one nap and bedtime but after that it was done....Kids are always more resilient than we give them credit for {thank God for that}.
easter was super fun i think we went too 1,237 egg hunts all of which were SUPER fun for the kids especially with numerous Bunny Sightings! We hosted our Annual Cole Boys easter egg hunt on Good FRiday. We added a crawfish boil this time which was a huge hit! It was a day of good memories made with friends. my brother and fam came into town the rest of the weekend and we ate and drank and relaxed.
last week roger and I made it to two of the grizzlies playoff games. GROWL towels up! What an exciting adventure for our city and the Griz, we all BELIEVED. They payed the OKC Thunder tight and it went to a game 7, unfortunately we lost ,but what the excitement did for the city among all the flood drama was amazing! I cant wait until next year!
This weekend we took the boys to a redbirds game and the boys got to meet the players before the game and get autographs. I use the term "meets "Loosely... airey hid behind rogers leg and threw his hat to the players, lol. The redbirds won and a great time had by the coles {even the the root beer float i took to the face}. We have also enjoyed the Shelby farms new playground a couple times! Baby Georgia had a fundraiser walk for the March of Dimes at the grounds and we were speechless at the ridiculously fun playground! We had to go back that next week. If your in Memphis you and your kids NEED to go for a visit. Well i better wrap up I know this post is already toooooo long. Pics to come later (Mac is full....aka about to have to buy a new computer...sigh...)
Take care xoxo,
The coles
