Last week was crazy busy with tech rehearsals, stage rehearsals, dress rehearsals, and 2 performances for dance.  We did Annie and “Dancing Through The Calendar.”  It was so much fun being back this year, but a sharp reminder of how not-so-sharp my brain is after hanging out with 3 kids all day.  More than the […]

Happy Mother's Day (with a garden update)

My Mother’s Day wish was pretty simple this year (note: I’ve given up on the breakfast in bed and/or clean house dream)–I just wanted an everbearing strawberry plant.  We have a fabulous strawberry patch this year but they’ll only bear fruit for a couple weeks at the beginning of June.

And you could climb in […]

Last week was our kids’ spring break.  I had two goals: Get to the Science Center and to the Zoo (both of which we have memberships too and hadn’t really used since Ty came home). PJ’s getting harder and harder to capture in shot because he prefers to be behind the camera (like mother, like […]
