Memorial Day Hike

We went hiking with some friends on Memorial Day. It was actually more like a "walk" than a hike. Eric is a science teacher so he taught us stuff along the way. This hike is gorgeous in the fall.

School's Out

Shaylee graduated 1st grade. Mrs. Brown was her teacher. Grandma Lorna is retired so Shay won't be going back to T.O. Smith Elementary. She was so sad the last week of school. She said she cried when she realized she wasn't going to see her friends at that school anymore.



Shaylee made the "Wall of Fame". Or they call it "Citizen of the Month."

She was also selected for the "Academic Award in Language Arts." Only one girl and one boy from each class is chosen. This is her receiving the award at the assembly.

Eggs.....sunny side up!

A few weeks ago, Kate and Tyler got out 4 cartons of eggs and had themselves a pretty good time cracking them on the kitchen floor. Now this photo doesn't do justice. You can see the egg yolks, but what you don't see is the egg whites smeared all over. And the towel in the back, is their attempt to clean it up. They also threw some out the glass sliding door and onto the deck, but some of them missed and broke on my carpet. The house stunk of eggs for days after. Took me all morning to clean it all up. I had to mop....twice. One day I will laugh at this. One day.
