Hazel’s Graduation

Can you believe Hazel is starting kindergarten this year?!??!?

I’ll admit that I was a grump about the preschool graduation. Graduation requires nothing except us paying the bill, why does it need a ceremony? But Hazel had a big line to close out the ceremony, and for a week prior every time there was a quiet moment, she’d practice her line. So by the time the day rolled around, my heart had undergone a Grinch-like growing three sizes, and watching how proud she was made it seem like a very sensible ceremony.

Hazel has her promotion from 8th grade tonight and Margot made her a card.

Margot has been drawing friendly monsters, and I’m really impressed. She drew this for Kim for mother’s Day.

Ran into this guy outside PetSmart, and now Margot wants a Tegu lizard.

Not a great picture, but this morning I woke up to the sound of someone working in the kitchen. A bit later Hazel bursts into the room proudly announcing “I made crepes!”

Hazel had her first game with the school soccer team. She played super well, especially considering it’s been 4+ months since she played a game.

Margot isn’t a fan of most cakes, so she got po tat (custard tart) for her birthday.

Hazel is home sick today. She texted me this: I’m stuck at homeSuper-duper sickNo places to roamI wish this was a trickI’m so boredThis house is so quietOutside birds soaredWhat rhymes with quietI’ll be better by tonightI wish we had more guacamoleBy friday I’ll be

We took the girls for the long promised and long overdue ear piercing, and then for some nice indian food after.

Hazel had a poetry assignment for school. They had to create a book with a certain number of different styles of poems, including haikus, cinquain, diamante, ballads, ode, and elegy.

We did Tuesday tacos, and Margot was playing with my phone while we waited. She said she was trying to look mysterious.
