Manic Monday in pictures

Thanks to my dear sweet husband, I now know how to post pictures again.

~Hooray~





1. Jane making a shadow elephant.

  

 

2. My favorite family across the street. Our Bailey graduates from H.S. this Friday night and our Samantha is home from college for a couple of weeks. Their parents, Paul and Shelley, are pretty fantastic too. Love this family and so thankful to have them in our life.


3. We found out that the potentially interested buyer for our house can't afford our house. crud. Such a let down. This process is so frustrating that I have decided that once we get this house sold I am NEVER moving again. Better plan to make our next home be THE ONE to last a lifetime.....
4. This is the girls last full week of school. Jane's last day is this Friday and the girls get out at 11:45 on Tuesday the 22nd. Can't believe Jane will be in "Pretty K...which is almost K" class next year. Tess had a field trip yesterday, Kate has a field trip next Monday. The end of the year awards assembly is this Friday and Tess is singing with some friends in a talent show on the last day. We go to School Day at the K on Thursday, which means the girls get to "skip" school. They are beyond thrilled. Too bad all they are missing is Field Day. tee hee.
5. We went to Kate's kindergarten music program last Thursday evening. Love watching the social dynamics of this age group. Some kids are there to perform, some kids are there only because they have to be. Some kids are hy-per(!) other kids are laid back and look bored. The girls are singing like it is Broadway, the boys are more interested in making exaggerated movements and hitting the person next to them. My Kate sang like an angel, did the motions with passion, and turned to smile and make eye contact with us after each song with the "Didn't I do a such good job, mom?' Martens family tradition--after the musical program we all went to Big Burger and got ice cream.
6. Speaking of Big Burger. We now have one in town, which is awesome. unfortunately it is right across the street from the fire station which is not awesome. Pretty sure this business being successful is a direct result of my husband's monetary support .
7. Really looking forward to this summer. I feel like it is going to be a good one. Starts with a vacation to Bennett Spring with the entire Famdamily...including my brother! Between three camps and swim lessons and tball games and acro class and piano/voice lessons and VBS and trying to sell our house and a parents only trip in August....it will be time to start school again.
8. I just had a grown woman come to an appointment in Mickey Mouse shorty pajamas and Winnie the Pooh slippers, carrying an unlit cigarette between her fingers (we are a smoke free campus) and drinking a Red Bull.
