Family game night
It's been busy at work and at home with our house up for sale. We have to leave it cleaned most of the time now with bookings occurring without much notice. Friday was the first of splash day at the school. Audrey was excited to wear her swimsuit. On Friday nights, we have instituted a tradition at the Bruce household of Family Game Night. We typically play candy land, busy town or checkers. Matthew loves to play games with the family. Audrey is usually only half interested but wins. We made a trip to Target this weekend and picked up chutes and latters. When we pick up Matthew from school he reminds us that Friday night is family game night.
On Saturday, we ran some errands and the kids enjoyed some of them. They liked learning about the mail at the post office. Matthew is full of questions. Andy pulled out the globe and the exercise ball one morning to explain the earth and sun and answer why it stays light out so late during the summer.
We went to a fun birthday party on Sunday at a gymnasium. Audrey enjoyed the trampolines and slides as much as Matthew.

Matthews Graduation from Pre-K
Matthew had a pre-K graduation show at school on Friday. They sang the 50 states song, presidents song, continents, and ocean song. He was awared the "Mr. Competitor" award because he likes to win at every game. His favorite part about pre-K was playing outside. Zachary was a little miffed at this response because he mentioned playing with Matthew in his favorite part about school.
It's hard to believe that Matthew will be starting kindergarten in the fall. It just seems like yesterday when he was going through all the phases that Audrey is currently going through at 2 years old. Matthew has matured over the past year and we notice how he doesn't struggle to come up with words and he asks some very good questions. When we watched the Moore, Oklahoma tornado disaster on TV this week, Matthew asks "Why does God allow that to happen to people?" Such a good question! While Andy and I don't always know the right answers to tell Matthew, we try to encourage him to keep asking these good questions.
Matthew is very excited about our new house - which will be complete in Sept/Oct

Matthew loves to pull the switch on the bingo balls at the senior citizen home

Happy Mothers Day
Happy Mother's Day! I went to the kids school for parties on Friday afternoon. They both enjoyed giving me home-made gifts from school. On Saturday, we headed to Sea World in San Antonio with Nanna and Papa. The weather was perfect with a cool breeze and not too hot. Matthew and Audrey had a blast. Matthew was such a big boy riding the log ride. Audrey also rode a couple of big girl rides. The only thing she was scared of was Elmo and all the sesame street characters. (typical at this age) We stayed the night at the Hyatt Hill Country Resort and enjoyed the bicycles, lazy river, smores, and hot tub. Andy was able to play 18 holes with Papa and Michael so the guys enjoyed Mother's Day as well!
