It's the last month of school, so there's all the events there, like open houses and last minute field trips and "retro day" and "colonial day" which is depicted here:
Where my almost 11 year old, who is rather small for her age, wore a dress that I wore the month I turned 15.....*double snort*
And look what I did to her hair, curled it old fashioned like, with no new fangled electricity or nuthin (pictured with my mommy).
So, that was fun. On top of school events, it's baseball season, so we're at the fields four days a week. Add that to being at the gymnastics center 5 days a week, and these kids are getting a hell of a lot more exercise than their mother.
May also brings the Rose Parade, which we ventured to this past Saturday. It was lovely out, and pictures are below.
But the best part about May, if you ask Emily is that it is ta-da....her birthday month!
Somehow, she manipulated me into a triplicate birthday celebration.
It started with her foregoing a birthday party in lieu of getting to go to San Francisco to see Wicked, with one friend in tow. (this Saturday)
Then she pitched the whole, couldImaybepleasehavejustaslumberpartybecauseitdoesn'tcostanythingplease!
And I was all "well, why not?" so there's that (this Friday), which grew to camping in the backyard, with marshmallow roasting and pizza and cake.....
Except she realized she wouldn't get to celebrate with family and friends of the family and whatnot, so we're BBQ'ing on Sunday too, probably complete with another cake.
But it's fine, I'll need the cake. It helps with the denial that OHMYGODMYBABYISELEVEN!
I still have this little one to squeeze the life out of though
And of course, the boy (pictured here with his dad, they have the same smile)
Look, freckles! Sorry, can't help myself.
Hope you're having as much fun as we
