I received this from one of Benjamin's teachers

I guess one of the teachers brought in their pet snake.  Surprised to see it on his shoulder.  The hands in the sweatshirt crack me up.  I certainly would not have been in that photo.  If I had been in that photo, you would have seen that we are literally dead even as far as height goes.  So, give it another week or two and he will have edged me out be a millimeter or two.

I received these two pictures today from the behavioralist from Joseph's school.

"I love Mrs. Hinshaw.  I hope that you take care of each other."  It always warms my heart when my boys are considerate like that and take time to draw pictures/write notes.

It is this time of year again.

I found all the s'more fixins on sale.  I have them safely hidden away in the hopes that they will last us most of the summer.  (Yes, the ugly grass stains...one of the main things that frustrate me with Bree.  We have been leaving the back gate open in the hopes that she will just go into the field every time.  She is pretty good about coming back.)

I have been hitting the tennis courts several times this week.  Really enjoying getting back out there.  Might even look at a tournament this summer.
