Moments from my cleaning day

Oh, I'm afraid for our tame little baby bunny Courtney - she's WAY to comfy with large people walking right up to her!  Beware of the furry, 4 legged neighbors, with the big teeth!

And on a completely unrelated topic- I have become my father!  

I'm about to try to swill down some of this nasty looking stuff - because it will cure everything that ails me.  Or, not.  The harder it is to choke down the more you believe in it's benefits !  Cheers Papa!

GOLLY WHAT A DAY

Instead of DojoDobson, today we are the House of Hormones!  All 3 of us girls in tears at one point or another.  I told Kevin we could rent Titanic so he could have a good cry if he wanted to let it all out too.
(He declined.)

It's all good!  Good friends who you can talk too.

Maybe I'm destined to become a REAL Waspina after all!

Happy Mothers Day to me !

The dog at my feet, the kitty in my lap, 2 girls watching movies with me, Kevin making dinner - a snowy day outside.

We've also had a good time bird watching!  The squirrels have almost figured out the new Suett feeder, but the big birds have yet to discover it.

My desert is the quilt I get to start tonight .  Tomorrow, it's all about the students again .  Bringing in cheese dip and chips to help motivate them for their final.  It's been a good weekend. 

Pit Crew - Picture from the Sound of Music

Spring 2014 - Caitlin, do you have names for me?

The highlight of the month was the PIT

This posting will be short and sweet.  A result of Martha using the cattle prod.  I hope to come back and elaborate on this eventually, but - "anything worth doing is worth doing half-assed".  (It's still useful advice!)
The middle school was indeed alive with THE SOUND OF MUSIC

Caitlin was in the Thunder Ridge Middle School musical - playing the violin in the "pit orchestra" as they performed The Sound of Music!  They really worked hard, and she seemed to really enjoy every bit of it.  The play was very good - and the gathering of friends family and neighbors - exceptional as usual!

Texting words of encouragement to Caitlin, who had to leave early to go down into THE PIT

I borrowed this one from Martha, mine didn't turn out.  The entire crew, and the hole in the floor that contains, you guessed it, THE PIT!

You can't even get a decent photo of your kid if they are in THE PIT! (OK, she was just hamming it up.)

 Abi managed to take 1 of her sister in THE PIT by dangling herself in.

The Saturday night audience - minus Ms. Martha Chang and myself - the photographers.  (Abigail and her best buddy Isabella, Victoria and look we found Isaac Z again!)  Friday was Roberta Gillis (Nana) and Kevin.. . . and most of the neighborhood had kids in the orchestra, backstage crew or cast.  It was fun to see everyone.  

I'm calling this one "what's wrong with my camera!?!"  Victoria and Caitlin - a blessing for Caitlin to have such a good friend.

That's the kind of day it was

Struck me funny - 4 hours later I went back to the room to pack up for the day and saw the scene: 

 someone was clearly about to make a phone call while eating lunch.  They must have left in a hurry.  

And it's STILL spring break!

So much happened this last 2 weeks, and I just am crazy lucky that I was off.  Uncle Bob passing away, and Jan and Tor, Elise and Dave came in from out of town - and of course the cousin's (Bob's kids and grand-kids and great-grand-kids) Any chance to see them just makes me feel good.

 

 

 

Mom had a sing group get together at the Someren Glen building - and I'm exhausted, sad and glad.  And good lord, it's already time to go back to work!  I will instantly put up the count down collection of magnets  39?  8x5
