Makin' my Daddy Proud!

Today I decided to make whole wheat tortillas! Not as round and pretty as my Dad's. But OH SO TASTY! The kids LOOOOVED them! After the 2 hour process (at least it FELT that long) it sure makes me appreciate the labor of love when he makes them for us (or other family).

Now to get a proper pan to fry them in. I had to resort to my dinky little 6 inch pan! Gotta hunt down some cast iron, I think. :)

I haven't looked at the cost effectiveness of making my own, but it is comforting to know exactly what's in them and know I'm not filling the kids with extra ingredients I can't pronounce.

Hair Cuts!

All the kids got hair cuts last week. Carissa's only consisted of getting bangs though! :) Here they are... all bathed and clean and ready for bed! Amazing.

Micah's Kindergarten Graduation Celebration

Today was Micah's last FULL day of school. Tomorrow they have a half day. This morning was their mini graduation celebration. Micah's teacher is moving to a split 1st and 2nd grade class next year so this was her last year to teach kindergarten. Bitter sweet for her, I think. As she got up to talk about the class and how proud of them that she was, she choked up and teared up and was embarrassed. Through the quiet of the room then you hear Micah say, "Awwww, poor Mrs. Paganelli." To which, we all laughed. My goofy boy. Sigh. He wanted JJ to sit by him so he did. Here they are before he got his diploma.

Throwing their hats... (made out of paper.. too cute!)

Mom and the Graduate. :) With JJ peeking in on the picture. Ha ha..

Micah with his teacher, Mrs. Paganelli. We've been spoiled to get to have Noah, Carissa, and Micah all get to have her. Selfishly we're bummed that JJ won't get her for kindergarten!!!

Another group shot outside. They are all dressed in their swim suits and outdoor clothes b/c this afternoon at school is field day. They have various stations in the play ground where they do different games and the fire truck will be out to spray them all down. FUN times!
