Every month Parker's preschool has Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A. You eat at Chick-fil-A by turning in the receipt to the designated box, his preschool gets a portion of all the sales back to the school. It's a win-win for Parker and I because it helps his school purchase items for the kids and we LOVE eating Chick-fil-A!
We also love going because the preschool teachers are there to see and visit with and they provide games and crafts for the kids. Another favorite about going is Daisy, the cow, is always there and Parker loves Daisy! This particular CFA has an outdoor playground and Parker now enjoys playing on the slides there. So, for about $8, we can help out his school, see his teacher, play some games, get some exercise and of course eat some yummy Chick-fil-A!
Can you see how excited Parker is that Daisy came and sat down beside him at the craft table??
He loves the slide! And I love this playground too, because it's outside and gated, so we can eat at the tables outside and Parker can run around and play!
Hannah was a good sport and enjoyed being outside too!
Parker giving Daisy a hug and saying goodbye - he did NOT want to leave!
Two weeks ago, our county held a local County Fair. Evidently this happens every year, but this is the first year I found out about it. I talked to one of my friends that went the night before and asked her all about the fair. She told me it would be appropriate for Parker, but there really wasn't anything there for Hannah. So, I bought my friend's remaining tickets that she didn't use, Brad stayed home with Hannah and Parker and I headed to the county fair!
I thought the fair was perfect for Parker! All the kiddie rides they had were perfect for Parker. He got to ride everything once and we were there for a little over an hour, which was plenty of time for us to do everything.
The motorcycles were fun. Parker enjoyed these and he got to ride these twice. He did a great job holding on to the handlebars the first time, then the 2nd time he got a little cocky and just did it with one hand - hah!
There was a cute little train Parker got to ride. It was hard to get a good picture, but Parker enjoyed it very much!
Parker and I had a great time at the county fair. It should be even more fun next year with both kids!
Parker had his 2nd soccer game last weekend and we had a little improvement in his performance - hah! Every week we are looking for Parker to improve in his stamina, staying on the field, chasing the ball, running with his teammates and his kicking ability. This week, we accomplished a little longer endurance and staying on the field!
This picture about sums it up - Parker taking a water/rest break and Hannah bored to death - hah!
We are still working on staying on the field and running with our teammates!
Parker's team played the Purple Team and his friend from preschool, Jeremiah, was on the purple team. They were in preschool all last year together, but this year, they are in different classes. Before the game started, they both recognized each other right away and they stood in front of each other and just stared at one another - it was hilarious! After the game, we got this cute pic of them!
I had to post this pic because I think it's so sweet. This is how Parker falls asleep every night. We start out in his bed, but then he'll crawl out of bed, go over to his bookcase, turn on his lamp and look through his books. Then, he'll lay down in the floor and go to sleep. We've tried to keep him in his bed, but this is just part of the routine Parker likes to do, so we just let him. I think this picture is extra sweet because not only is his book open, but he got his bear, Patrick, off the bookshelf and is laying on him!
