The little people have social lives!

It is becoming more and more apparent that we are going to need a larger calendar at the Schurman house :)  The older the M & M's get, the more "events" they get invited to, which is awesome!  This weekend we were lucky enough to spend our weekend surrounded by great friends and their REALLY cute kids. 

Event #1 - "Super Fun Penny Carnival"

Our friend Elizabeth had an "Summer Penny Carnival" for her neice Ayva...it was AMAZING!

There was bowling, duck fishing, bean bag toss, an egg obstacle course, face painting, and balloon animals!

Very Cool.

We were so proud of Mackenzie!  He played all the games, and then went back to his favorites!

He loved the egg obstacle course, and the duck fishing...alot.

Ohhhh...I think I forgot to mention there were PRIZES too!

Big Mack liked those. 

Duck pond!

Miss. Matea liked to run away and play at the park :)

Event #2 was a birthday pool party!

There are no pictures because I was at the penny carnival and then at home with Miss. Matea while she had her nap :(

Event # 3 was a super fun pot luck with the Penny Carnival crowd

No pictures we were all too busy eating the amazing food!

Super Fun Saturday!

Blogger - BLAH!

No pictures for right now, i am playing with Blogger and wishing that I was WAAAY more technology saavy, and just good at picking out colors and stuff.  Rightnow the only part of the Schurman Shenanigans that i am in love with is my new header thingy - I like it.

Hopefully there will be some pics tonight - we'll see ;)

Please forgive my "quote-i-ness" and a few new M &M Pages

My name is Jessica and I love quotes :)  Ask my sister, I am pretty sure it drives her bananas.  ANYWAY, I sometimes really like to include quotes in my digital scrapbooking (although I will admit that I have been trying to tone it down in my 2010 pages). 

I came across this one on a blog (http://elegantwordart2.blogspot.com/) that I go to ALL the time because she has AWESOME wordart, and she posts ALOT of them as FREEBIES! ANYWAY, I just really liked this quote, I think Susan Sarandon says some pretty smart stuff sometimes ~ and wanted to share :) 

The M & M's May pages

Some M & M cuteness :)

So I had an eye appointment today (side note, did you know that it now costs $105.00 just to get your eyes tested?!? Craziness.) and when I got home Mackenzie met me at the door, and he was doing all this "jabbering" about robots!  Huh?  "mommy you do the robot?  Go Mommy!" and then he was seriously trying out some robot dance moves!

Basically Bob and Big Mack spent some time this afternoon building an awesome lego robot, and learning "the robot" - cute, cute.

Seriously who's adorable little boy is this?!?

Big Mack very proud of his super cool "lego robot" that he built

with his Dad

Adorable.

Hooray!

See ya later Robot!

Dear Miss. Matea,

Enough with the dirt sandwiches

Love, Mom

Wow-wee-wow-wow

I really like this picture....I know it seems like I take ALOT of pictures of Miss. Matea, but it is ONLY because she doesn't run away quite as fast as Big Mack :)

I changed my mind....Love it.

An afternoon with the M & M's!

So...yesterday we had PD day (professional development) and throughout the week I spend the morning with the M & M's and then "the Nana" comes and takes over for the afternoon.  Yesterday I thought to myself "why not just get it over with (the whole work thing) in the am, and then enjoy some of the sunshine with the little people?" - Yep best idea ever.

Of course I documented almost EVERY moment :)

Broken arm?  Sure go for a bounce on the trampoline!

Craziest toddler ever.

it was a pretty nice day out and Big Mack wanted to help out by "hosing down" some of his toys :)

What a good helper!

Fences need washing too...

Washing down the deck....

see my open back door in the background?

Even Mommies learn something new EVERYDAY

A car wash - best idea ever!

Would you have been able to resist?

In his defense I totally sprayed him first :)

Best Friday afternoon EVER :)

First Day of June!

Some members of my family were giving me a hard time (Jer...Dad!) about my blogging, or more exactly my inconsistent blogging :)  So hopefully my three posts yesterday and this post today will get me back in their good blogger books :)

So here are my first snaps of June 2010 - I think it is going to be a GREAT month!

1. Only 18 more teaching days (woot, woot!)
2. There was no snow this morning, so I am going to assume there will be no more for the remainder of the summer!
3. For some reason my kids are getting cuter, and cuter every day!  Check out the pictures if you don't agree!

Cute summer pigtails!

Adorable boy

My new favorite summer outfit for her :)

Thanks to cousin Alex and her super cool "hand-me-downs"
