(They look much better at night)  Fireflies are something I’m definitely going to miss when we leave Virginia.

We’ve also spent a little time here

Hopefully we’ll get to do some of this before the summer’s over

We’re trying to make the most of our last summer here on the East Coast.

{off to a running start}

How is it already the end of the school year? I feel like this year went by so fast. I can’t believe my first class at Primrose has graduated from preschool. They did really well at their graduation program (aside from those few behavior glitches that I’ll choose to ignore). They sang some fun songs and then had a ceremony. I’m so proud of all my kids and know they will do so great next year.

WATCH OUT KINDERGARTEN, HERE WE COME!!

More Carytown

We love Carytown!! Memorial Day weekend we went there twice. The first time we went to dinner and a movie ( the second time was for our “photo shoot”)

We went to dinner at New York Deli. It was really good. My favorite part was the fries. Any place that has GOOD fries has me coming back for more. That’s probably the only reason I let Matt take me to Arby’s – LOVE their curly fries! May222009_0016

We got the Hawaiian pita pizza and bbq pork sandwich. Both were delicious!   May222009_0021 May222009_0022 May222009_0023

Before the movie we stopped at one of the coolest toy stores in Richmond. And now we have a lovely cardboard rhino head mounted on our wall. Matt had so much fun putting it together but wishes it wasn’t so easy for him.

We went to the wonderful Byrd Theater for Coraline. It was pretty good, for $2,  but we decided we probably won’t buy it.
