Until They Catch You

2014

The last crawlin' kid at my house.


And he's just as stubborn as all the ones before him.  He was mad I put him down and walked away.


but eventually he gave in


but he still wasn't pleased with me


They never really are...


until they catch you.

Very Seriously

2014

The end of the school year brings with it the end of the Awana year.  
Here are my Awana Cubbies


singing their songs



with the Cubbie wanna-bes watching them


getting their awards


from teacher Paula


and teacher Liz.


Here are the Sparks getting awards from Ms. Julie




and singing their songs.




Post celebration pictures:


Xandra - 1st grade
Theia - Kindergarten
Aliyah - 5
Joey - 3


These kids take Awana very seriously.


Very.

A Splendid Affair

2014

Armed with Mother's Day flowers


and freshly decorated cookies


fresh picked dandelions,



and a beautiful new tea cup from our dear friend Ms. Carol


we had ourselves a midweek tea party 


complete with fine foods like hot dogs, pizza and pb& j sandwiches.


We also invited the most special,


fancy people around.




It was a splendid affair.

Chief Decorators

2014

Our friend Rachel had a few extra cookies from a party.


The best part was she hadn't decorated them yet.


We gladly took on the job of


chief decorators


and junior frosting spreaders.

Could've Asked For

2014

They stopped and bought me flowers.


The kind lady behind the counter wrapped each childs' daisies individually.


They were so proud


and I was so touched.


We enjoyed our traditional picnic,


but in the backyard this year.


They showered me with gifts and presents


and all the love one mama, of six kids, could've asked for.
