Field Day 2015

July 8, 2015

Field day was the week before school ended for summer. It was really fun and both Kevin and I were able to attend. The kids were really into it!
This is Chais – Sennet’s best bud.
Olive. She loves Sennet and always wants to hug him.
This is Jana- Sennet said she was his girlfriend earlier in the year but that seems to have faded. Jac The kids loved throwing balls at Kevin. Willa. Sennet is in awe of her because she can read every word and book in the whole wide world. Chais and Sennet having a one armed push up competition. Valeria.

fireworks and friends

July 5, 2015

We took Sennet down to the Seafair 4th of July fireworks for the first time and it turned out to be a great day. We were both a bit nervous about going to Gasworks Park at 5ish to wait for the show (we thought we needed to get there super early to get a spot) at 10:20 and it was bloody hot outside which didn’t help our motivation. Ziya and his crew met us down there and the boys played like crazy and the adults sat around eating and chatting. All of our anxiety about keeping the kid up until 11 was unwarranted and the pure joy and awe in his was was worth the long, hot day.

Little League Day at the Ballpark

June 3, 2015

For Sennet’s T-Ball season, they offer a special package for Mariners’ games at Safeco Field for the teams. $12 per ticket and the kids get to walk around the warning track down on the field before the game. Sennet and a lot of his teammates signed up for the game against the Cleveland Indians on Sunday, May 31. We took the light rail from Beacon Hill down to the stadium district and walked over to the ballpark.

Before the game we did the parade around the field and then made our way up to our seats. Several of his teammates were already there.

I wasn’t sure how “into” the game he would be, but he really seemed to enjoy it and paid a lot of attention to the game, and wanted to stay all the way to the end. He had a huge pretzel, a hotdog, cotton candy, and chocolate dipped strawberries on a stick.

His teammates began trickling out around the 6th or 7th innings, but he wanted to stay. Once Kate, the last remaining teammate left mid-way through the 9th inning he was ready to go. The M’s had been ahead most of the game, but the Indians had tied it up late. After we left it went into extra innings and the Mariners ended up losing 6-3 in 12 innings. But it was a good day.

[wpvideo IdAp6wiT] We have one more game remaining in our T-Ball season. It’s been fun, but I think we’ll both be ready for it to be over and move on to soccer. Here’s the team picture:

Left to Right, back row: Bradley, William, Kt, Sennet, Ewan.
Front row: Kate, Sigrid, Kyle, Theo, Zephyr, Jac. (Missing are Keane and Henry).

this may or may not be a sneak peek for whats to come for Sennet’s 6th birthday.

Fiesta Latina 2015

May 11, 2015

May 8th was Fiesta Latina at Sennet’s school. An afterschool party and celebration with games, a book fair, food and drinks, and performances by the different grades.

We all went over to the school to participate. Sennet had a good time, their class had a fun program, he bought some books, and got to play with his friends.

Kickboxer

May 6, 2015

Stacie bought Sennet an early birthday present: a punching bag. He had been leaning pillows from the couch against his wall and kicking and punching them. He seems to like this much better.

We’ll eventually get him into some martial arts and/or kickboxing classes, for now he’s on his own.
