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.

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.
