Our week :)

William has had a fantastic week. He loved, loved, loved preschool and everything about it. I was able to stay for a little while the first day and sit at the back of the classroom observing. The teacher picked Will to stand up at the front while the class said the pledge of allegiance. She showed him how to put his hand over his heart and look at the flag. He did so well, I'm extremely proud of our little guy and happy with the decision we made to have him start now in Early Childhood preschool. There is a summer school session that he'll attend.

We've been outside a great deal because the weather has been beautiful. Spring is truly here in Wisconsin. The grass is a vibrant green and the dandelions are out in force. I like the below pic when the 2 of them were dancing and twirling. William looks like he's doing some sort of interpretive dance. He and Grace have a lot of fun together.

And yesterday a BIG surprise was delivered and put up in our backyard. Neither of them had a clue it was coming...a play set or you could also call it a swing set. You should have seen their faces when I brought them around the back to see it the first time! It has a fort on the top to play in and William thinks he's on a pirate ship looking for 'bad guys.'

Lots of swinging going on....


I think they played on it for 5 hours yesterday and fell into bed last night. I was pretty tired too!


Saturday we are having a garage sale(selling some furniture and toys). Our town has a big garage sale weekend and we are participating. The proceeds from our sale will go to William's foster home in China, the Hidden Treasures Foster Home in Fuzhou, Fujian Province.

And this above shot is one I took this week of one of the gorgeous flowering trees here that are blooming. I'm happy because my lilacs and weeping cherry trees are almost open. Happy Mother's Day a little early...I'll be doing a Mother's Day post tomorrow or Sunday. Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
