End of Year Mayhem

I think this is busier than xmas and it's finally slowing down.  Well, at least today is a slower pace.  Below we celebrated Connor's 8th birthday.

Below is my fave shot.  All the kids sitting around eating cake.  They had such a fun night playing.

The Hatchimal was a huge hit.

Mother's Day- I met up with these fine ladies for brunch.

Painted some cabinets.

Mother's Day Tea at Ben and Hilly's school

This was Jack "doing her homework," which she claims was "Watching an animal and seeing what they REALLY need."  She decided she couldn't watch Corncob without him watching her back so she gave up after like 10 seconds.  Considering I'm the only one in the house who gives him water, it's safe to say she's pretty out of touch w what he really needs.

Benny got to hang with P's dad at his shop during dance recital dress rehearsal.  He loved it.  Came home and told me he fixed cars.  Wants to return.

A next at Miss Amy's and Emily's.

Dress rehearsal.  Hectic but the peace of watching the show gets me every time.

Jim got back a lot of the kids' toys from his parents' basement from when we were staging our house. I love seeing how the toys are arranged after the kids are in bed.

The steps were the play place for a few days.

My girl.

My boy.

All gussied up in her costume.

Hannie and Ben chilling admist a freshly painted room.

Jack all dressed up for her spring concert.

So my mom and I hit up something at Hilly's school.  What was it? I can't remember. Maybe we just picked her up.  And then we dined with Jim at Charcoal Pit. Where the heck was Ben? Oh, Ben had a birthday party, which was perfect bc Jack had her spring concert.

Waiting for concert to start

Here is Jack w her class

I picked Ben up and we stopped and got everyone Rita's

He went quickly from eating his Rita's to passing out cold.

Jackie backstage during her show in between dances.

The finale

Hills

Em and my mom came to see Hill's show

I don't have pics of Jack's show because it was such a whirlwind.  The girls were awesome.  It was a hectic and insane weekend and I'm so happy its over. But it was enjoyable none the less.

So this one is Jack's finale I think.

The fairy garden.
