The Last Day of Spring

The girls wanted to make me pancakes for breakfast.

But only after they enjoyed some blue popsicles (gone but for the evidence on their teeth:)).

" I need a break!"

 Cooking.

 They were SO good!

 Next, they decided to help Nana wash her car. . .

 Nana brings them an umbrella. . .huh?

"Come here, Nana! I have some cozy hugs to give you!"

Fruit Salad, Anyone?

 Ava arrives with her fruit cart and some very yummy selections (not to mention the BBQ tongs:)).

 I chose strawberries and kiwis.

 Notice the computer--I should be writing.

And my fruit -- strawberry, kiwi and a mystery (blueberry?). We really do have fresh fruit in the house. Frozen, too. And fake play fruit. Lately, though, it's been all about blocks and math cubes.

And a few days later. . .bloomed into this. . .

This is Growing in My Garden! Really!!

Maddie's Birthday Party

Every year Maddie has a birthday party with her friends from school. This year we did it on May 12th (M's birthday is in summer) and Maddie asked for a gymnastics party.

They got to try all the equipment and had so much fun!!

Mother's Day, Take 2

Me and my girls!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

 Waiting for the music to start.

 Spinning.

 Shining.

 More spins.

 A daring split move.

 And a fun, shining finish.
