Mother's Day and other happenings

We've been busy, busy, busy. I finished my thesis...and got an "A" on it, I might add. I finished the last of my teacher certification tests (all 4 of them, and passed them all). Which means I can spend more time with the boys and enjoy summer, yey! Here are some pictures of some of the lastest things we've been doing.
This is what we call "movie night," we take off alll of the cushions on the couch, put a big sheet down, get some pillows, and make a big bed to cuddle in to watch a kid movie. We watched Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, the Squeekquel, which by the way was very funny. Charlie and Luke love this, they think it is the best thing ever! We may just have to do it this weekend again.
On one of our really warm days, we set up the pool for the first time of the season.
Luke had a new Buzz Lightyear swimsuit and rash guard that he was so proud of. Obviously, Charlie has grown a lot since last summer because the poor kids bathing suit was practically painted on him. I have bought him 2 new suits since then, so the poor kid won't be walking around with self-induced wedgies this summer. I seriously can't believe how big my kids are getting and that they are consistently at least a year ahead of their clothing sizes.
I had a great Mother's Day. We went to the pond in Stony Brook to feed the crazed feathered friends again. This time around, we met some new friends, some little baby ducklings that were so cute. They were so tiny, and adorable.
Lukas loved waving at them.
My Mother's Day photo, I love it!
By the way, it was so abnormally cold that day, which is why we are in winter gear.
We went for a walk on the other side of the pond in the woods, and the boys did some exploring.
Look who we found while exploring, this guy was hanging out in the shrubs munching on leaves. Will thinks he was once someone's pet.
He wasn't scared of us, he seemed like he enjoyedhaving his picture taken.
Later that day, we went to Grandma's and also had a dance party where Uncle Bobby showed us some of his moves.
