Week 23

Up to date, finally! Last night was Carmen's Joy School year one graduation. Basically just an excuse to have a party with friends. It was very cute though. They marched in as we all hummed Pomp and Circumstance (is that the name of the song?) and had little caps on. They received diplomas and report cards, and had little gifts for all their teachers and sang "Oh Boy, I've Got Joy!". We are so proud of Carmen and the things she learned this year. She now thinks that she is going to kindergarden in the fall, but I keep telling her she has one more year of Joy School. 

Throughout the year they made little things that all got put into a book to keep. Doesn't she look so "joyful"!
Carmen and Aliza discovered they both had enough money to buy something at the store. Aliza had $1 and Carmen had $3 that they had been saving up. Carmen bought lip gloss. I was so surprised (sense the sarcasm). And Aliza bought Ariel tattoos. She decided to give one to Charlotte!
I HATE LAUNDRY!!!! This was the pile I tackled on Monday. It was so gigantic that I had to take a picture. And there was still another load in the dryer, which is still there and will remain there until I do laundry again. The picture really gives you no idea how big the pile really was. It covered our CA KING sized bed. 
Charlotte took a little snooze on our front lawn. She loves to suck her thumb. We better start saving for braces now!
We went to the San Jose Discovery Museum on Thursday and there was a Curious George exhibit. My kids love this place and could have spent a lot longer there. We with some of our friends and had a picnic afterwards. 
The girls love the art center here. They painted and also made some coffee filter paper thingy....
This is Aliza's best friend, Liam. They are really so cute together. Aliza was hitching a ride with him this day. This is their new favorite thing to do together.
