May becomes INSANE around here!

EVERYTHING wraps up in May, so we get to run around CrAzY for the whole month!

Dance Recital May 17th: Sophie in Pre-Clogging dancing to "It's a Hard Knock Life"...

She is an Adorable little Orphan!

Katy's class danced to Cheetah Girls' "Dance Me If You Can"

Followed by Concert #3 (we didn't attend #2, it was a school assembly concert!)

Denny's already Wiped out!

Sophie's Daisy Troop wrapped up their year of scouting by gardening the Church's flower beds on May 21!

Ben & Asa (and Denny's) Pack wrapped their year up with the annual Cross Over Ceremony, also on May 21!

The younger classes at the kids' school 'grew' their own Butterflies! May 22 was "release" day, after they all got to 'hold' the butterflies in a mesh tent!

And Asa's grade performed in...

And Soccer Season FINALLY wrapped up on May 23!

Ben completed another year of Soccer, with Dad as assistant Coach!

Sophie's U5 team, with Dad as The Coach!

Asa played this season, also, but with Mom and Dad running to and fro, neither one of us caught a snap shot of his playing! And His Team Photo is Professional, so, you'll just have to take my word for it, Asa played and played Well!

Here is Katy's Team, again, Dad is the assistant Coach! Bless these two men for volunteering to coach 13-10 & 11 year olds Girls! The Hormones flying on these fields, Wow!

In the middle of all of this, Our Sophie turned 6!!

The last day of school, saying good bye to al of our friends!

Whew! We survived-all of the extra dance classes, just to make sure we're ready for recital; 5 days a week of soccer, 3 of those nights there were usually 2 different practices going on; Scout meetings; Homework-don't the teachers Know? we have all of these extra activities going on Every evening, it sure seemed like Katy & Asa had more homework these last few weeks, than they've had at any other time all year!

Now, we get to relax for the summer, right?!

Easter

We colored eggs a couple of days BEFORE Easter this year, it's usually the evening before, so we were ahead of the game this year!!

Easter dawned to a BEAUTIFUL morning-still too cold and a bit too damp that early in the morning, so our Easter Bunny hid the eggs inside the house, again! Good thing our dog sleeps in a kennel, with the door locked, otherwise, I am sure she would have helped herself the all the eggs, candy & little goodies in the kids' baskets!

After all the fun of collecting all of the eggs, comparing what each of the kids got, we took Grandma N out for Brunch! Then back to the manor for their Egg Hunt!

Such a BEAUTIFUL Easter Day. We spent part of the day at the Park, playing on the playground, throwing the Fisbees, lounging on the blanket and soaking up the sunshine and the wonderful 70 Degree weather, without a bit of wind.

Then just 2 days later 6 Inches of SNOW, that stuck around for 5 day! (pictures of our friends' back yard-- Easter Sunday........Tuesday afternoon!) This was just INSANE!!
