Yesterday we had lunch with Wyatt at Silverlake with his preschool class.  I got there a few minutes early to find the kids having a Pirate Scavenger Hunt.  Arrrrrrrrr!!  They walked around the complex trying to find certain things with the clues that their teacher was giving them. They found beads, coins, candy & all kinds of goodies.
 

The kids made their way outside to continue their fun, so the parents waited in the gym where the tables were set up for lunch.  Lunch was supposed to start @ 11:45 but the kids didn't make their way into the gym until about 12:00.  We had ordered our lunch from the cafe, & it had been just sitting there since 11:45 so it was cold pizza with carrots & ranch for us.  It definitely was not the greatest food and we'll probably just bring our food the next time.  What it was, was a great little mid-afternoon date with little man.  He had a hard time spotting us when he came into the gym but when he did see us his face lit up.  He was so excited we were there.

After we finished our lunch, the kids put on a little show with their parachute tricks & we bought cookies for dessert.  Around 1:00 it was time for us to head back to work & Wyatt to finish out his school day.  He knew what was next....nap time!  He did not want us to leave & did cry a little.  Bribing him w/ a game on my phone when I picked him up did the trick & he was fine to give us hugs & kisses & get in line with the rest of his class.  Creag & I both headed back to work.

After work, we all met up back at Silverlake for dinner.  Gold Star Coney's & then I had parent/teacher conferences with Miss Lisa, Wyatt's teacher.  We've been considering enrolling Wyatt in Kindergarten next year.  He wouldn't be 5 until September, but meets the age deadline.  She expressed her concerns to me about him going on to Kindergarten & I agreed with her for the most part so we are going to wait another year.  The only negative thing about it is that he will basically be repeating the same pre-school program again next year because he will be in the same class with the same teachers.  We had him in the Pre-K program because we were considering Kindergarten.  Hopefully he does well & learns a lot more next year without getting bored due to the repetitiveness of it.

After conferences, Creag took Hank to the batting cages & I checked the other kids into Kids Quest while I did my class at the gym & then I took them swimming when I was finished.

They had fun and actually played with one another the whole time.  They tend to seperate when they're in the pool so it was nice to see.  The kids had a 2 hour delay this morning, so we were able to sleep in a little & tonight my kids are going to their Dad's for the weekend & Sam is going to her Moms.  I have a girls night scheduled tonight with Amy to do dinner and see the new movie that's out "Safe Haven" so I'm pretty excited.  I don't get out with my friends often, so I am looking forward to it!
