The Kids

A few random photos to close out the month of May..

Benjamin in his scuba gear at preschool. 

 Josie's love of reading really took hold at the end of the school year.  She would often read on the school bus and on our walk to and from the bus stop.  Luckily she didn't trip as she was so engrossed in her books.

 We all win when Josie reads... by herself and to Benjamin.

 LOVE - the fight a lot but when they get along, it is a beautiful thing.

 Benjamin's hair was getting long and he loved combing it with his fingers.  He said, "I want long hair like you, mommy!"  I said we could go to Menchie's for frozen yogurt if he got his hair cut.... It wasn't a tough choice.

 We had to give our little back garden box a break this year.  We need to do some major trimming back of a lilac tree that has overgrown it's place and is now shading our garden box.  So this year instead of vegetables we planted flower seeds.  Benjamin, like most little boys I presume, loves to dig in and water the garden

One day after the kids got ready for bed we found them quietly reading together...

In May, Benjamin started riding on the double bike and LOVED it. 

One of Josie's best friends, Elliott typically rode the bus home with Josie every Monday and then played here until around dinner time.  Everyone, especially Benjamin, liked having Elliott over.  Here they are walking home from the bus stop.
