May is the month when things start to get crazy around here. School starts winding down (which actually means it starts to get busier with Teacher Appreciation Week, which I got to help out with, and end of year teacher gifts, which thanks to my procrastination didn't actually take that much time), practices and recitals start kicking up and Lenny starts traveling for work. Plus there is Mother's Day and both of our mom's birthday's are in May! Lenny was gone for 3 weeks (at least he was home on weekends) so figuring out how to get this all done was a little tricky. Thankfully we have grandma and grandpa down the street to help out when we needed it...and more (Shawna and Bob took over all of Lenny's carpool duties plus some of mine). Like always, we survived the craziness and were able to enjoy seeing how much our children have grown this year and thank those who have helped them along the way.
HaPpy MoTheR's DaY!
Len took care of the kids and let me sleep in as long as possible to still be able to get to church on time - OH! and to eat the delicious breakfast that he made and my cute kids served to me in bed (I'm posting this pic because it's one of the only one's that was taken and I'm sure one day, when I'm much older, I'll be able to look at it without wishing I had combed my hair before it was taken)
Teacher Appreciation Gifts
I loved-loved-loved Jackson and Abby's teachers this year. I wish they could both move up a grade and teach them all over again next year :)
For the last 4 years I've made vinyl signs for the end of school teacher gifts. I didn't get around to it this year so I had to come up with something quick at the last minute. Great Harvest is across the street from Boss's school so I made up some thank you notes before school, dropped Boston off, went across the street and got gift cards and some of their yummy cookies and put together a teacher "Thank You" gift. Nothing says "Thanks" like carbs!
(I can't find pics of the cookies right now so I'll post them later)
Abby loves to pose in her dance outfits.
This one was for her Jazz dance!
After Abby's Dance Recital.
She danced to Kiss 'I wanna Rock and Roll' and totally rocked an air guitar. It was so cute!
