Happy Mother's Day!!!

 Waiting for the music to start.

 Spinning.

 Shining.

 More spins.

 A daring split move.

 And a fun, shining finish.

Ava and friend at the Mother's Day Potluck (at preschool).

Last Day of April Showers

 I was cleaning the car and the girls wanted to get sprayed.

 Then the wind took over.

And the girls went into hiding:)

So, What Happened?

Flu which morphed into strep throat, for both me and Ava:( It interrupted our spring break and a little beyond. But we're back to feeling good and will probably finish planting this evening. It's too hot right now--94 degrees. What we planted two weeks ago is sprouting--Yea!!

Spring Break, Day 4

 My girls.

 Mama panda.

The new baby giraff.

We went to the zoo today and ate dinner at Whole Foods. M isn't feeling well and Mama's coming down with a sore throat, so we cut the day short. We'll probably take it easy tomorrow and move our Sea World trip to Friday.

Spring Break, Day 3

 Sister love.

 Surfing on the backs of dolphins.

 Collecting sea shells.

 Sand angels.

 Kite flying and toes touching the sky.

Spring Break, Day 2

No pictures today. We went to church, out for breakfast, then came home and finished our front garden. Well, almost. We need a few flower boxes and soil to plant the rest of our seeds, but we'll take care of that tomorrow. A and M had a beach party on the sidewalk while Mommy did all the hard work. (M wrote this last sentence--maybe a confession:)

Spring Break, Day 1

 Mommy brings home a violin -- someone's very happy:)

 The girls and I build Easter eggs at Michael's.

 My little artists.

Then it's onto Barnes & Nobel for books--our favorite kind of shopping!

We also planted seeds and hope we'll have an abundant garden. So far it's all flowers, but we're happy.
