Winding Down!

The school year is finally winding down. Hip hip hooray! I’ve only gotta get up at 6:40 19 more times, and then it’ll officially be sweet summer time!

Here’s a funny story for ya:

A few weeks ago, one of my first grade students, Juan, said that I really reminded him of someone, but he couldn’t think of who it was. A little while later, he excitedly said, I know who it is! Aquaman’s mom!!! So I did a quick google search, expecting to see an old hag. And look what popped up!

I said, wow! She is beautiful! And he said, yeah! And she’s really cool like you too!

And now I officially have a new favorite student. Haha

So I went home and showed my family, and Steven pipes up, “Mom, you don’t look like that AT ALL!”

It was nice while it lasted. 

Speaking of Steven, he finally got his kindergarten shots. I put it off until absolutely necessary. And he bought himself a Lego set as his reward. It was his idea to spend his own money, bc he says I never let him spend it. Haha

My girls chose to match one day a few weeks ago. I had to document that. It’s a rare treat these days. 

We have two pet snakes living near our creek. They’re always sunning themselves on the rocks. Not really liking that!

We have a family meetup at Firehouse almost every week, as I drive between my schools. Always fun!

The Aquarium came to visit the boys at MDO. They got to see a turtle, a starfish, a frog, and something else. They were hoping to see a shark, an otter, and a penguin. Hahaha

Sweet cousins after church! Can you believe they’re only one year apart?! Laurel makes Benjamin look like a giant!

Here’s Benjamin playing with one of his best buddies from school during one of Lydia’s soccer games. 

I got a new kindergarten student (the tiny one in the middle). She is SO cute!

Joel’s got some beautiful irises blooming around our house. I love them, especially the dark purple ones!

And here’s our soccer star! Who knew I could give birth to an athlete?! Don’t worry. I think she might be done after this season. But I’m proud of her for giving it a go!

 And there you have it. My random pictures from April.
