7 Quick Takes



1) 
Maggie graduated Preschool!
Three years of preschool and they finally had enough of her to move her up to Kindergarten.
Maggie with her lead teacher.

Some of the girls she is going to miss terribly this summer.
Mom, take a picture of my cute shoes.

Receiving her diploma from Sr. Muriel (her Kindergarten teacher next year!)


Daddy's little girl.
When the celebration was over, she looked at me and said "What, no presents?"  Good thing she's cute...

2) 
A video mashup for the family who couldn't be there (Maggie is in the back row next to the red-headed boy):


3) 
Eamon graduated Kindergarten!
My little meatball is growing up!

Cousins!



Moving on up to first grade, where hopefully his size 7 pants won't have to be rolled twice!

After his celebration was over, he said "I love you Mom!" which just proves boys are easier than girls.  I double dog dare you to disagree.

4) 
And video proof for him as well.  They sang so many cute songs, it was hard to cut it this short:


5) 
Speaking of songs, my new favorite running song is by the son of a man I used to have a huge crush on when I was a little kid watching Growing Pains.  First one to guess it wins my admiration.  But why don't you just link to the song, Colleen?  Because, annoying inner voice, I can't find a clean version, and I ain't leading nobody down my well-traveled path.

6) 
 I'm writing this on Thursday night and I'm so so so tired, and my husband is telling me to come relax with him.  He's pretty cute and usually gives me good advice, so methinks I shall listen.

7)
Enter the beautiful hair clips giveaway, whydontcha?

Happy early Father's Day to all the awesome fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, and religious fathers out there.  We love you!

  3. Is it by Robin Thicke?! Is it "Blurred Lines?" That's the only Robin Thicke song I know because I was just on iTunes last night helping Francie with a playlist.

    Your kids are adorable, as usual. I agree that most boys are easier than girls (they aren't known for holding grudges and that's refreshing), but my easiest child overall is actually one of the girls (guess which one). I love them all, but there is something so easy about a laid back, happy go lucky kid. :)

    Tell Phil we said Happy Father's Day! :)

  7. Why oh why does the robin thicke song have to be so darn catchy? He and pharrrell totally could have used that same ridiculously awesome beat with a much sillier topic....but dang, you had a crush on Alan Thick?

  8. Oh my goodness... those pictures of Maggie... she looks so grown up! And I'm sure you know you're in big trouble when she becomes a teenager.... she is gorgeous!

  9. Aww, your kiddos are all growing up, Colleen. Miss Maggie in Kindergarten, oh boy, these days are just flying by!

    Ah, the well-traveled path of songs sung by males that makes us ladies run just a little faster while exercising, eh? (psst...text me that song title *wink*)"Show me that smile again...." I used to love that show....

    Happy Father's Day weekend!

    btw, I would whole-heartedly agree that girls are a bit 'more' than boys. My 3 to 1 ratio tells me so.

  14. How sweet! My Isaiah always tells me he loves me too. Nothing better than that!

  15. My first thought was Kirk Cameron because, oh my! The crush I used to have on him growing up was huge but I just knew he wouldn't have a kid that sang anything with questionable lyrics.

    And then I reread it and saw "man" and then saw Alan Thicke in another comment. Um, your devotion and love would have been better spent on Kirk Cameron. I'm just saying.

  16. Cute, cute, cute! Dontcha' you just love preschool and kindergarten graduations???!!! I have no idea who or what you are talking about...but I love a good running song! I'm back on my healthy eating/running kick! In fact, Mary Catherine's dance recital is tonight...I was going to buy a Cheesecake Factory cheesecake from Walmart...but then I looked at the food label...31 grams of sugar in one slice of cheesecake. That's more sugar grams in one slice than I eat in an entire day. blah!
