Happy Mother's Day

to my mom

and to me

Spring Program

Isla came bounding off the bus. She pulled out this invitation and said, "MOM! i have a program tonight!"

before the program started there was an open house in the classroom. isla is in a.m. kindergarten and emily in p.m. and isla asks me almost every day if she can be in afternoon so she can be with all of her friends. i have been reminding her for 7 months that if she were in afternoon she would miss all of our playdates and trips to the park since the boys nap in the afternoon. she says she would rather be with emily and ellie. too bad since the boys both nap during the time that i would have to pick her up. there's always next year.

the typical spring program

isla's not your typical kindergarten performer. i could hear her all the way in the back! it was hilarious!

i can't believe she is so grown up! 1st grade next year!!

the chaos that is our kitchen

give it some time...my husband is sure to amaze you with what he can do!

rhettsy this morning...

(this is for kjrsten who told me rhett needs more attention and marion who asked me what he's doing these days)

(please note: to save rhett from being beat up on the playground, these photos will only be up for a short while. enjoy them while you can!)

i love this

when dad is in charge of them (even for a few minutes) the house becomes a park and the furniture a jungle gym. and THEY LOVE IT! so i do too!

and then she sat down and drew this

artist

isla is a little proud of her uncle andrew. he's in a band. even at the age of 5 she's knows that being in a band is cool. this is what she wanted to draw for uncle andrew.
