ends of things (May)

This is all so random. 

Maggie at Cabo Bob's (our fave taco place that we eat at way too often).

Followed by me and Chewbaca - because, why not?

Rebecca getting a pedicure w/ Pam on Pam's birthday - spoiled little girl!

Maggie at swimming school - she finishes each lesson by telling me how awesome she did. I know baby.

Helping Owen's class get ready for their TX Battle reenactments - Owen was Mexican soldier - I did his facial hair, we borrowed his baseball pants from a neighbor (Celeste, coming through again) the night before. This is May.

Maggie's preschool ended about a week earlier than the big kids' school so we were hanging out at their playground waiting for them one afternoon. Swings!

Still my napper - but only when she wants. ALWAYS preceded by her taking her pants off. One day not too long ago I came home from being gone most of the day and she gave me a hug and then said: 

MOMMA, LET'S GO SNUGGLE WITH NO PANTS ON. 

Any time, baby.

Painting pottery at a birthday party (that she broke a week later because she carried it around in a hard-case Chewbaca lunchbox.

End of Year WPDS Program #7 - same as always. The beloved Ms. Melissa.

This doesn't happen very often. I think this was following Rebecca's end of year swimming party (that Maggie got to come to).

Went with some other church staffers out to CAMP BUCKNER - can I get an Oooooooooooweeeeeeeee? - to see if it would be a good fit for our church's women's retreat next year. This little gal got to tag along. 

(Pardon the mouth full of goldfish.)

I love everything about this place. I was basically a sentimental mess that day - not helpful in the least at figuring out if it would be a good fit for the size/needs of our group - glad the others were there!

How many pics do I have sitting in front of this sign?

Our whole team (obviously the guy - Jeff - was there re: the men's retreat, not the women's).

We of course stopped by the Bluebonnet for lunch on our way home and ate way too much and I bought 8 pecan pies for Kyle's surprise party! Wooop!

Okay, back to more ranomness. Owen and Rebecca - recently bathed, yes, it does happen sometimes - standing in front of the potatoes from their school garden they both harvested that we roasted for dinner. Yum!

Last day of school!

Rebecca with her senior buddy, and Mrs. Adams.

Rebecca really not happy with us for some reason. Then okay - sort of. Right after the final chapel of the year. Headed home for summer!

 

The pages they both made for their teacher's memory books.

All things begin and end at Cabo Bob's. Here we are with Sam, who lived with us from shortly after the new year, through the end of May. We love Sam and will miss her but are glad for everything that is coming together in her life!

Whew, May is over!
