Yes, we saw the Imagination Movers in concert at Hershey Park today. Jonathan and Adam are HUGE fans of those guys, love to jump up and down, pretend they are in their band, and try to help with their emergencies. I even had to ask the girl at the gate as we were walking in, are they really here? It was so awesome. And of course, I'm having the most difficult time trying to download the pictures (most blurry) from my iphone so stay tuned as I try more later. Even showing up an hour early, still didn't help us get good seats. But one of the movers came right up to us since we were sitting near the steps. Adam the dancer he is was having such a blast dancing all around with such a big smile on his face. Jonathan, I think was still in shock and couldn't believe the movers were actually at Hershey. He was wondering where the house mouse and Nina were...and Mr. Boring.
Jonathan and Adam's last day with swimming lessons was this weekend. Awwh, my water babes! They learned a lot and had fun doing it. The Friendship Center was a great place. One of the teachers, didn't hesitate to kiss my boys all the time..and I think there was a kiss on the toes occassionally too.
Ready, set, GO! Then they just knew to hold their breathes and go under the water. Sitting on the back deck, ready to GO!
Mother's day weekend, we went to Dutch Wonderland and met Duke the purple dinosaur. This amusement park is truly the best in the area for toddlers.
Grandma really enjoyed the rides too. The park is such a beautiful place. We'll definitely go again this summer season.
This is such a cute ride. They 'pedal' with their hands and we can also push them with sticks from behind.
Jonathan said on the way home Friday: Mom ask God if I can have a dog at my house. So we prayed on the way home that God would help us learn how to take care of a dog and give us the time to actually have a dog at our own home all the time when...(and that was the key word 'when') Jonathan was older. I'm afraid we may have to get a pet dog some year. Jim and I do not look forward to it, ohhh the responsibility! Dog watching for my sister's family is easy and fun because we know she, Chloe goes back home soon, but to actually have one of our own, can we handle it?
There is something so wonderful about the school my boys go to and that is the teachers make every single Holiday, Season, and person into such a big deal and so special. For this special Holiday this month, they have been working on projects all week long. I would get hints on their daily report that they did something with footprints outside, or that they worked on a special surprise for Mother's day with colorful stamps. After an awesome day off today with my husband at some of my favorite places out of town, we anxiously go pick up our boys early from school and I find Mother's Day surprises in both of their cubbies. In their homemade footprint and colorful stamp wrapping paper were the silly but very cute wooden picture face frames, marigolds, and cards which say things that truly touch my heart and are keepers forever. I also enjoyed Muffins for Moms during the week which was a delicious treat that Jonathan and Adam got to share with me. I love how the teachers talk about the meaning of every single Holiday throughout the year. Jonathan and Adam learn so much and have so much fun doing all their activities with their friends. We have no doubt that we picked the right daycare/school for them and every penny towards it is worth it. 
And today, I'd like to share about "Mary's Playgroup" that I am so thankful to have in my life. Jonathan and I joined a Mommy's and Babies group in Hershey when he was just 3 months old. Being off work for 9 months, it wasn't until the third month after having my first baby, I knew that I needed to go out and make friends with other mom's going through the same thing I was....needing that extra first time mommy support and later learned that they have become the best support group and closest friends I could ever imagine. Jonathan has grown up with a group of about 12 friends in his early months of life and it gets better....all the mom's had their second babies all about the same time so now Adam has a group of fun friends who are all siblings of Jonathan's friends. We would meet in this facility every Thursday mornings for 2 hours to chat about everything, do some baby massages (Jonathan would fall asleep during them all), and learn about new things. Tuesday mornings was a breastfeeding group. As the kids became toddlers, they were too old for this group so we formed our own at each other's homes for playtime. Even with working full time now, I can't get together with them weekly, but email has kept us together. We have done babysitting swaps, birthday parties, and annual family picnics where the dad's can join in too. We have some pretty successful and amazing dads who include a news reporter, a writer, a doctor, a business owner, a Director, and the list goes on. Thank you moms for staying in touch, I love you all and can't wait for out next family picnic together. Happy Mother's Day .... you are all very amazing, all wonderful, super moms!
