The week in pictures - May 7th - 12th

A "mohawk" that is soon to be buzzed at the end of the school year. Until then it gets to grow crazily. Which it definitely is at this point. Crazy.

Spring storm coming.

Kittens can turn pages of your ibook. Who knew. 

Happy birthday to a dog that stole my heart. And loves me well. 

Dog picture outtake. 

They've come a long way since those first days when she was so scared of that fluffy dog. 

Kittens kittens everywhere. It's sweet to see the kids love on them and care for them.

First sno cones of the year. I will only eat the banana ones. 

I love it when the boys get tickled about something and can't stop laughing. Except the middle kid can stop on a dime to give me the "stop taking pictures" look. 

Really? Is this respectful? Or necessary? I think not.

Baby kid in the rain. "I love it outside when it rains. There are snails and worms everywhere"

Saturday morning puzzle time. 

Pictures of people's houses that are a mess make me feel better about my house that refuses to stay clean. Here's my offering. 

Saturday morning fun. Okay, not necessarily fun, but necessary. 

Celebrating a sweet friend's birthday. Strawberry cake for her, and...

...chocolate for us. 

Letter writing. 

Base ten blocks used for a race track. At least I'm getting my money's worth out of them. 

Mr. Cool

Friday night takeout from my favorite Italian restaurant. (And fed the kids and me for $12)

Nighttime runs are better than morning runs. Too bad they don't happen more often.

Hub's suit ready to go to the cleaners. Someone was missing him. 

This was literally what happened when I said, "Time to do math..." (I may or may not feel her pain)
