Spring Craziness

Kaitlin had a Reader's Theatre for Kindergarten that was sooo cute. They did the book "Click, Clack, Moo, Cows that Type." She also had a field trip to a farm. She loved both. Everybody seems to be doing things that keep us busy. Plus I am finally trying to get a garden going and landscape the front of our house. Alix stayed with us and that was fun. It has all been good stuff but we are very busy. I forgot the camera for the Reader's Theatre (spelled it the artistic way on purpose) so I had a friend take pictures of Kaitlin. She did pretty well!

Kaitlin's Shoes

Kaitlin made me laugh yesterday as I dropped her off at school. She stopped to show the Principal her shoes. It cracked me up and I wondered whether it was fun, at times, for the principal to see the things kids do. I later found out it that Kaitlin showed them because they were her "swimming shoes"-- Ones we bought so she could get them wet. She said, "I don't know why I got to wear my swimming shoes today." The principal said, "Maybe because they match!" She had a cute dress on that was the exact same color. I didn't get a picture of her in the dress, but I took a picture of the shoes, hehe. The dress is the same one as she has on with butterflies on it at the right with her Grandma (doing Grandma's hair).

Field Day, Etc.

So today was Field Day for kindergarten. Kaitlin was so excited she got me up an hour early and was telling me every day that I needed to remember sunscreen and shorts for her and no sugar in her sack lunch because it attracts bees. She rattled this off to me several times. I think she had a great time. I went and volunteered. Now she is going to a park with Archie. If I could just bottle that energy and ability to recover!

Mother's Day

I got cards from Kaitlin and Carmen for Mother's day. Daddy said he had Carmen sign hers and she said the signature was a "rain drop".

Kaitlin made me a book at school. She had three pictures in it of herself wearing the same shirt. I wonder what made her think of having all three drawings wear the same shirt. Interesting, huh? She kept doing things for me for Mother's Day -- i.e. rubbing my shoulders, making pictures for me, etc. What a sweetie!

Archie got me some roses. Half of the proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald House. We stayed there in Philadelphia when Kaitlin had her cancer so it means something to us. He was very excited. It was endearing. He also cooked us crab legs for dinner and planned the whole thing the day before. I know, I know, he's a keeper!
So, it was a great Mother's Day. I missed the children singing at church because both Kaitlin and Carmen were sick, however, Kaitlin sang me the songs by herself and I cried. It warmed my heart. I wish I had recorded it.
