Sebastian’s Thanksgiving Program

Walked in to see these 12 little Indians.

Singing…

Proud of all his projects before the feast.

With his sweet, wonderful teachers, Ms. Kathy and Ms. Carolyn.

Sebastian’s Pre-K3 Graduation

 

The last week of May, Sebastian had a little end of year program.  It was adorable and I’m so glad I was able to go!

Luca slept in the sling throughout the whole program.  They processed in singing “This little light of mine” and then sang a bunch more adorable songs.

We love how he practically knocks out his classmates next to him during this rendition of the “Itsy bitsy spider.”

On his way out, he smiled and waved at me!  =)

So excited to get his own photo album of school memories from his teachers.

Sebastian's Mother's Day Program

Well, I'm going to be playing catch up for a while here! On Thursday, May 5th Sebastian had a Mother's Day luncheon at school. I was so happy and relieved that I was able to be there and not having a baby! This was my first special school Mother's Day event and I didn't want to miss it! The kids greeted us in the hall way and walked us to the classroom. Then we had a salad and muffins for lunch. Very cute.

With his flower pot he made me.

With Mami. The also gave us a card and answered some questions about us. According to Sebastian I like to cook, play Elefun with him and I'm 51. Ayyyy.....

Then they sang us a song...

My Week at a Glance (well, most of it!)

Matteo....my little sneaky boy! Every time I need to get dressed we take a field trip to my closet (I can't leave them alone for anything!!!) and the boys have a ball hiding in my clothes. They are so cute.

These days I have some very good helpers. Sebastian loves doing his "silverware job" and asks about doing it everyday. He does not like the days we don't have to run the dishwasher!

And of course, Matteo has to have a job too, so I leave him all the plastic dishes and bowls in the top and bottom rack and hands them to me or places them on the edge of the island for me to put away. He loves it too. I love these willing little workers!

Mami forgot to move the bowls closer to the edge!

Sebastian had to fill the letter bucket this week with things that start with W. He loves doing this and I left my camera with his teachers so they could take a few pictures and video him. It's long, but cute (especially since he seems to have forgotten what many of the things were!).

This week, all three boys went to the mall to get $5 haircuts. It was Matteo's first not-at-home haircut and Sebastian hadn't had one in well over 18 months besides at home either. They both did great! The haircuts are okay - I mean, really, I'm not going to be too picky when it's only $5! But we wanted to make sure they were looking spiffy for Uncle Corey's wedding on Saturday!

Daddy took the boys to the Zoo the other day. The zoo is a daily request by Sebastian - he just loves the place!

This past weekend, we celebrated Christmas with Angelica and Titi Monica since they were in Puerto Rico during the holidays. The boys were SOOOOOO happy to see their cousin. They were dancing around and having a ball the whole time. And of course, they opened presents!

Matteo tore right into the candy canes. What a sweet tooth!

This weekend I also hosted a "Girls Night In" party for my very soon to be sister-in-law Sarah! This is the Honeymoon Basket I made her full of fun essentials. =) Paul hosted Corey and the guys on a fishing trip that was certainly memorable too. (The whole weekend was memorable as we unknowingly brought a horrible stomach bug/plague with us, I had it first, followed by Paul a few hours later and then Sebastian in the middle of the night. It made things very interesting...ugh. It's been rough!)

The bachelorette with her cake.

Sarah with her friends. I think everyone had a great time. Next post - WEDDING weekend!!!! Yaya!!!!


AND - I AM OFFICIALLY CAUGHT UP ON THE BLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parties, Parties, Parties!!!

We threw a little bridal shower for my sister-in-law to be last weekend. Everything was lovely!

We can't wait for the wedding!

We celebrated Papa's birthday. Sebastian was very concerned on Papa's actual birthday that we were missing his party, so we had one the next time we were over at their house.

Uncle Corey had fun with his nephews.

We hosted a little party/book exchange with Matteo's playgroup.

This was the best group picture we could manage.

This was the next shot I captured. Geesh....getting harder and harder to just get them in the same frame - let along looking and smiling!!

Sebastian had a "Happy Birthday, Jesus" party at his school on the last day before break. As soon as Matteo walked into the classroom, he was thrilled to see Sebastian, walked right over to the circle of kids and sat in his brother's lap. They were both so cute.

Sebastian trying his ice cream cone cup cake.

Apparently Sebastian wants a tricycle - even though we already have two! I think he means a bike. We'll he's not getting one just yet, but soon!

Matteo had a ball playing in his brother's classroom with all the big kids. He jumped right in.

Sebastian was very excited to give us the presents he made us.

His school picture ornament. It's a keeper! Soooooooo adorable! I loved it.

And his candle, which he told us is very fragile so we had to be careful. =)

We had a little party at church with the playgroup there too. As long as there is lots of food, my boys love it!

Sebastian was all about opening his new book.

Matteo just held his and stood there telling me no, no, no - that he did not want to open it! This is his NO NO NO face!

Sebastian's School Thanksgiving Program

We were so the giddy parents excited to go to Sebastian's first school program. We had no idea what to expect, but were of course, delighted! It was so adorable - when we walked in we saw his place mat on the table.

This project is a keeper for sure. =) So sweet.

I was all excited about my cute cheese and cracker tray and spent a while using these miniature cookie cutters to make little fall leaves and pumpkins out of cheese.

I got totally bowled over though with this fruit and veggie turkey....! Oh preschool moms, why must we be so competitive!!! =) Just kidding, I enjoyed it too.

Sebastian's 3yr old class, lined up and ready for the program. When Sebastian saw us he didn't even really say hello, he just acted like we weren't even there!

Singing their first song - which was adorable!

Thankful Song, Sebastian 3 yr old Class

Then there was snack time!

The Party!

Finally, after the food, he seemed more excited we were there. We played for a while and did some puzzles and he showed us some things in his classroom.

With his teachers Ms. Kathy and Ms. Carolyn.

After school, we went to the park on the river to play. Special day with Mami!
