No more weeds!

The happy teenager helping his Dad.

Sweet 16

Today is our 16th wedding anniversary. We got ourselves a new swing to celebrate-

I'm so grateful for Mr Copper Coin and the life we have built together. 

Shark!

Cutie pies in their fort

Bathroom update

We finished the bathroom several weeks ago, I just kept forgetting to post a picture.

Alice in Wonderland

Princess did fantastic at her recital last night. It was great to have her Bops and Gee, and Aunt there to see her. 

Recital time!

Princess is an orchid this year for the ballet portion of her recital. The theme is Alice in Wonderland. I was able to take several pictures at rehearsal last night. Tonight, at the actual recital, I won't be cable to take any unless it's outside. 

Her favorite is jazz. I don't think I have a still shot of her dancing, but I got several friend shots. 

Games

For a few minutes, the elusive teenager emerged from his room and helped with twister. 

And these two played on... And had a few minutes before the fighting began. 

Chicken!

Caboose was happy when he saw chickens at his friend's house. He even held one. 

S'mores!

Then, we burned school work!! They loved it. Perhaps it was cathartic for them  since they have to work twice as hard as their peers. It really made Oldest most happy and gleeful burning his work. 

School is out for summer

The kids had end of the year parties. Caboose's class was watching movies, and Princess' class was outside. 

Fly away

We released the butterflies-

The Pool is Up

The other day we got the pool set up. They were a little chilly.

Crazy straw creation

Artists

I got some canvases on sale this weekend. I think these two painted on all of them. 

These kids love selfies
