The month of May brings many, many celebrations! The school year is almost over and if that isn't a cause for celebration, I don't know what is.
Yesterday was my last day to volunteer at Cunningham for this school year and I got lots of hugs from my kiddos, teacher, and librarian. I love working with kids and helping them learn to love books.
Our weekends have been a bit nuts lately so we spent a fairly quiet Mother's Day morning at home working on Will's last school project before heading off to an afternoon soccer game. Henry picked two recipes from his Chop Chop magazine to make for me. These are eggs fried in bread crumbs and they were surprisingly delicious!
Gene and Henry made a very healthy fruit crisp with fruits from our farmers market run for dessert.
Soccer season ended on Mother's Day this year!
We stopped by Ben and Jerry's last Friday night for some "just because" ice cream.
All of Gene's family was there and it was a lovely Mass.
Afterwards, we came back home for a super-quick lunch and then Henry passed the family's Portuguese Mass book to Mary, since her first communion will be next year.
We had to gobble our lunch because the boys' piano recital was at 12:30 pm, but the whole family was able to come.
Henry played "Indian War Chant" by William Gillock and "Perfect Balance" by Dennis Alexander.
We had plans to head out Saturday night, but some big storms rolled through Houston, so we stayed in, ate pasta, played chess, and snuggled with Ruby.
Sunday morning was cool and breezy, so we took Ruby to the dog park. She was in dog heaven!
There are only six more days of school but many more end-of-the-year celebrations to come!
