Mother's Day 2009

My darlings made me flowers at school out of egg cartons for Mother's Day and my sweetie gave me real flowers for Mother's Day (or perhaps for my birthday too).  I thought they were all lovely :-)  We went to Chick-Fil-A and ate one Tuesday and found the cow.  Notice that neither Chloe nor Clay is standing close enough to touch the cow.  We still (at 6 1/2 years old) haven't sat in Santa's lap, talked to the Easter bunny, does anyone else see a trend here?  They did love the balloons and ice cream.  This is the only meal that Clay eats faster than anyone else.  I am sure it has nothing to do with the playground!!

End of kindergarten

I can't believe that the kids have completed kindergarten.  It really is amazing what all they have learned.  They can read simple books, add, count, use a computer.....I think all I did in kindergarten was color.  I do remember coloring in a phonics workbook.  Chloe and Clay both had a grand old time at field day and kite day.  Just for you readers looking into purchasing a kite, Clay's kite flew so much better than Chloe's kite.  I personally recommend the cheap feeling plastic kite.  I am a pretty pitiful kite flyer :-(  Luckily, the kids were just happy to be outside!

Gardening

These are some random shots of the flower bed, the "new look" of the house without the ugly tree, Chloe and her petunias she planted, Clay and his beloved bike and our small garden that we have strawberries, tomatoes and cabbage growing in.  I even have three volunteer tomato plants!!
