Later May

I said I would explain more about Luke's other broken arm but apparently I have no pictures of that fun time, so I'll fill you in now. Do you remember how last year Sadie broke her arm in the Spring, and then Luke broke his in the fall? And you know how when those things happen you at least can fulfill your insurance deductible? Can you also imagine how annoying it is to have your child break another arm, again, and owe all over, again?
Aside from that annoyance, I did have true mothering emotion when it happened. Really I did. But the thoughtless child was riding his bike down the community center stairs and tipped over (I learned later this was not his first time doing this!) and landed on his elbow. He only cracked it this time, unlike the fracture and surgery required previously, so we only needed a cast this time. Sheesh!

Now, back to the photos. The second grade classes put on a little Mothers Day play for us and I circled where they are. I filmed most of this on my video camera because my little point & shoot camera is about to fall apart. I'm amazed I can still get pics from it, though the days are numbered. It was a cute little performance. They are growing up too fast. These little innocent performances are almost over for me. Tiny, sentimental tear....
Anytime I go help in the kids classes, I love to see the collected artwork of kids on the walls. This was outside Sadie's room at the end of the year. They all made penguins. Sadie is small in her class. Which penguin do you think is hers? Hint: you know that saying where if something is big it's usually making up for a small insecurity? Just a hint.
(It's the heeeeuuuuuge one in the upper left corner)
She brought it home and it's in my office. It's taller than her and awesome. I love it.

Scott also turned the big FOUR-O this month. We had a small party for him and made Lemon Cake, his fave.
He's still so handsome and fantastic. Glad to celebrate over and over again with him. Hope I'm still able to make him an 80th cake when I'm weak and feeble. :)
