Fluffy

With school out, there is so much more time to be lazy and create. Sam and Casey spent this week creating this video with Fluffy (Casey's fave stuffed animal) as the star. Now I know what was taught during all of those computer tech hours at school.
p.s. make sure you can hear the audio

Peach picking

Saturday, we went to Schnepf Farms to pick a loot of peaches. We had a great time filling two boxes of the ripest, sweetest peaches ever. For the next few days, we enjoyed peach ice cream, peaches and cream pancakes, peach crepes, and peach cobbler. But, our favorite was just the plain peaches, peeled and eaten straight. It made me wish for a peach tree to enjoy all of the time.

Summer

Welcome to
Summer!

Barnyard Moosical

This was one of the best music productions ever. Definitely an award winner. Of course, we heard the songs for days after the moosical was over.

Goin' Buggy

After Zach flopped and cried on his bed, I wasn't sure what to expect. He had tried out for the Goin' Buggy second grade play and didn't get the part that he wanted. Luckily, he got over not being the Commissioner and ended up as "Big Eye Bug." I would have to say that he had a great time and was thrilled because he got to wear his black basketball shorts, black Under Armor shirt, and black socks pulled over his knees for 5 days straight for mistaken dress rehearsals and the actual play day. Lots of small laundry loads later, we got to see the end result and thought that the whole second grade did a flybulous job.

Kindergarten Graduation

I've never been one to cry at kdg. graduation. I promised myself I wouldn't this year. But, I have to say, more than ever before, I wished that I could stop and freeze time, leaving my kids in the best place they could be. What is that place? A place surrounded by friends and free to be a kid. I loved watching Maggie and admiring her growth over the year. I loved watching her loving her friends. But, I loved most of all that she will always be mine.

Mother's Day

What a great mother's day. It all started with a program at school with Casey and ended with zucchini casserole. Lots of homemade gifts and love followed by typical Jensen behavior. But, all in all, it was a great day with lots of reflection on the gifts of my own mother has given to me. So, a happy mother's day to all.
