This is the second half of the 3 minutes!

For Mother's Day one of the fun parts of the day was to have a picnic at Owen Beach by Point Defiance. The kids threw rocks in the water (and I include Scott in that) and Kylie swam like she was a puppy (and she paid for that later in the evening with sore hips) and I relaxed. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun.




So cute!

Scott and I volunteered to chaperone a field trip for Emma's class to Woodland Park Zoo and it was a great sunny day. We have fun playing with the kids and helping the girls do research on the animals of their choice (Emma chose a grey wolf and now is doing a project on it). The silverback was one of my favorites as he was very animated.








3 months in 3 minutes!


The first weekend was beautiful and the second was crazy rainy.

Emma did track for the first time this year and did well, although I don't think this sport will be the one she excells at. She did softball throw, long jump, and 50 yard dash. We celebrated crossing the finish line and finishing her events. The long jump was more like a princess leap and the all the girls were smiling and laughing as they crossed the finish line. I don't know about you, but I don't smile and laugh like that when I run!



Emma earned a superior on her project which was actually better than some of the 5th graders for whom this is a requirement. She did awesome and we are so proud of her. This project doesn't quite fit into my keepsake box!



Easter and decorating eggs. We only cracked one this year! And didn't leave stains on the table! I think we are getting older!
