June 16th - June 22nd

Snoozing on the couch (and basically my head).

A little play time before I leave town again.

I've DEFINITELY earned this after my full tutoring schedule!

I've played this game approximately 15 times this summer ... and won most of those games.

Ready to go out even though it's still hot.

Anyone who says Kansas landscape is boring hasn't seen this view.

She has pretty eyes!

May 26th - June 1st

My first time at a Sporting game ... hopefully not my last!

Mom has quite a stack of books on her nightstand.

Happy Hour with work friends ... since we were STILL in school.

Thankfully, the rain held off for the 4th grade family picnic.

A rainy last day of school - from 8:00am to 4:00pm.

Enjoying a walk through a different neighborhood.

Estate sale shopping with this little one.

April 28th - May 4th

Lizard ... or dragon? Seen on a walk in BV, AR.

Blossoming  against the brick wall. 

Solar System brownies made by a student at the end of our space unit. 

May Day flowers!

What. Is. This? Snow in MAY!?!?!

She really, Really, REALLY wants that chew!

We're ready for the Cinco de Mayo party.

Laying down in a parking lot at the most recent Instameet

My take on the LARGE, full moon

Estate sale find

I'm always drawn to shiny jewelry

Pretties from Aunt Susan :)

Still a favorite at the Nelson

Sparkles

I like shiny things

The remains of some vino

Oooooh ... shiny things

Done!

The best part of teacher work day is being able to go OUT for lunch!

Had to climb off the trail for this one - it was worth it!

Teeny, tiny, perfect acorn

The much-needed rain showed up just in time for my road trip

Cicada - ewwww!

Thankfully, the torrential downpour started right after we left the outdoors shopping plaza
