Thirsty

Stroller pusher & Diaper bag digger




5 on Friday

1. Wednesday night I went to a Kindergarten readiness meeting that was advertised through Hunter's school. I got a ton of information on what the kids are expected to know, and if they are emotionally and socially ready for Kindergarten. It is crazy to think that I will be signing Hunter up for elementary school this time next year.
2. Yesterday, my mom treated my sister, Madalynn and I to a wonderful lunch in Montrose. We shopped a little and then stopped and ate outside at an adorable restaurant called Black Cow.
3. On Tuesday, Hunter's teacher Miss J.J told me that Hunter is an absolute pleasure to be around. She always has something nice to say about him but it usually revolves around how cute he is. Wayne and I are proud of him !
4. Our kids do not watch a lot of TV, but this week when they did their first choice was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse !
5. Every night Wayne does these Touch and Feel cards with the kids. Madalynn knows almost all of them in the First Word box. She looks at the picture, says the word, and then claps for herself .

Our mornings together

 Most mornings Hunter is the first to join us in bed.... we talk, love on him, and watch a cartoon or two
 and eventually Madalynn joins us and there is lots of jumping , and giggling.

 This morning they were excited that their Daddy was home from a long night at work
 Once we were done with our morning fun, we tucked him into Hunter's bed
and gave him goodnight kisses !

Watching cartoons




5 on Friday

1. On Tuesday and Wednesday this week , Hunter and I were on the set of "Raising Hope". The episode he will be in will aire on April 5th. We can't wait to see it !
2.  Packers play again this week, and we are all looking forward to it. Every morning , Madalynn wants to put on her "Football" jersey. She looks in her closet and says "Football".
3. On Thursday, I went and opened Hunter a Koogan account. All of the money he earns by law goes into this secured account, and can not be touched by anyone including Wayne and I until he is 18.
4. Hunters newest thing is that he wants to get a U-Haul truck. Every time we drive by the rental yard he reminds me that he wants to get one. Today on the way to school he asked if we could get a big truck and a little trailer. He said "Mommy isn't that a great idea ?"
5.  Go over and check out my newest project for the year. It has been a lot of fun summing up our day in one picture. http://365mahaffeymanner.blogspot.com/

Raising Hope

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, Hunter did extra work on the TV show Raising Hope.....


He played with the two "Hope" babies Bailey and Rylie

Tuesdays call time was 8:30am and Wednesdays was 11am


    
He loved hanging out and talking with the medic on set

 and he loved the vans that they transported everyone in
 there were three 3 year olds, 5 trained dogs, and 4 senior citizens being used in every scene

the two dog trainers (on the left) and Sally, the assistant director , and the whole cast and crew were so great to the kids

 the kids enjoyed playing with the dogs for hours
they filmed on a little street in Chatsworth, and the set stretched across three houses

he sat in the cast chairs, and received kisses from Cloris Leachman                               

he chatted with the actors , and loved all the trucks, lights and cameras
such an amazing experience for an amazing little boy !

Beautiful Weather

So

 we
 have
been playing outside !
