Pioneers Park

We had a picnic lunch and hiked around Pioneers Park together.

 

Playing Outside

Maggie and I found this ball game in the $3 items at Target.  You press a trigger and the ball goes flying out of your basket toward the other person who is supposed to catch it.  Occasionally we got lucky and it landed in our basket but it often would then bounce out so we had to use the other hand to trap the ball.  We laughed and had fun until it started raining.

 

Summer Reading Program

 Me: let’s go to the library today to sign up for the summer reading program 

Maggie: let’s go right now!!

Philomena: you can make me get off the tv but you can’t make me read. Not happening.

Parenting Maggie 😆

Maggie naked: why won't you answer my question?!?

Maggie from in shower: this is unethical that you won't talk to me until I take a shower. 

Maggie again: and no I don't know what ethical means. 

Huntington Preschool

Zeneya, me, Alicia, Christina, and Cristi will all be back to teach together next year!

 

Done with Middle School!

Maggie has finished 8th Grade and is ready for Lincoln High School.  The PTO put Card my Yard at the school for families to take pictures with.  We were able to buy a sign for our yard that Maggie chose from the two options.  The last picture is one that was in the 8th grade slide show from the school.

 

8th Grade

A couple photos that one of Maggie's teachers took at the beginning of the year (clean hat) and at the end of the year with a hat covered in stickers haha

 

Garden

Our garden has 10 little plants in it.  One is a potato that grew eyes in my cabinet.  Maggie said, "Let's try to grow it!" so that's what we're doing.  I also bought roma tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, orange bell peppers, red bell peppers, cantaloupe, watermelon, cucumbers, zucchini, and sweet potatoes.  Maggie helped me dig holes and loosen the soil.  She pulled a huge root up out of the ground when we were digging!

 

Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day with Mom, Grandma, and Jim at Cheddar's.  We took a picture of the 3 of us while waiting for the others.  I wish I'd remembered to take another picture when they got there.

 

Percussion Extravaganza

The percussion section had a Saturday performance at the football field.  It's great listening to percussion outside where it doesn't get too loud.  Mom and I were able to sit in the shade with the announcer's box right behind us for a back rest.  It was fun to hear all the different songs that they played with the different instruments.

 

Spring Band Concert

The spring concert is Mom's and my favorite concert to go to because we get to sit outside in lawn chairs listening to the band play.  The weather was great this year.  Philomena was in the first band that played and then due to being outside, we were able to leave quietly before the next band played and get home at a decent time!
