Slumber Party

So at 8am on a Sunday morning, who wouldn't want to roller blade, bike and screech through the yard?  I know my 3 would.

This one is getting pretty good on her bike-she apparently can ride and kick her leg at the same time.

Hence, this one yelling for me…"MOM!  D needs you!  N just kicked him in the NUTS!"  And I seriously hope all of my neighbors had enjoyed at least 1 cup of coffee before hearing this.

This one and her recent fascination with all animals - stuffed.  

Her newest pal is Raspberry and they do "evrefing togedder!"

This photo reminds me of John Lennon and Yoko when they were married at Gibraltar in their white suits.  White long johns are not quite the same but they'll do in a pinch.

This guy just started roller blading like, yesterday.  He isn't quite as agile as GoGo but he'll get there.

Something he is quite good at - stilts.  Yes, of the circus variety.  I do not know what possessed his father to order them but he did and they are a big hit with both D and every neighborhood child who comes this way.

Thank God the strawberry plant shows signs of life.  

D thought he killed it, like Charlie Brown did the tree.

This picture just cracks me up.  She looks like she just let a SBD fly and he looks like he is being forced to smell it during Church.

In reality, they were enjoying a fun day at the zoo with oodles of friends.

Yesterday I took GoGo to pick out her First Holy Communion dress.

It gave me a good idea of what prom dress shopping will be like.

We settled on a really beautiful dress complete with a bolero.  Jeez.

At her retreat on Saturday, she seemed a bit scared of going up to the Altar.  

A little bit of fear in this child is not a bad thing.

The finish line is in sight-about 7 weeks left of school.  Thank God.

If we can just keep up with all the end of year events, checks to write, things to donate and tests to take between now and June 7th.  

My kids are super psyched I'm letting them skip the last day of school to take a trip to Texas instead.  How often do you get to visit your best friend in another state AND mommy gets to see Mumford and Sons?  Yep.  Well worth missing cleaning out desks and packing up pencils.
