MAY 1!! Yes! I am IN THE CURRENT MONTH!!

But I can’t find a photo for May 1. HAHAHAHAHA.

April 20 – 30, 2010

4/20 missing. may well be on film. i don’t keep track of dates on my film photos…and if i thought it were terribly important i might buy a journal and jot all that info down in, but whatever. not that big of a deal 20 years from now – spring 2010 will due fine at that point lol.

4/21 Than answer was “no.” We did not adopt a pet, although Ruby was picking them out.

4/22 Cold. Windy. Still pretty to look at :D Abby, Ruby and Kayla running down the pier in Empire.

4/23 BEAUTIFUL DAY!! Warm. Not too windy. Absolutely beautiful!! Hit the beach – Sunset this time :D

4/24 This is not a sport I participate in. I have never fired a weapon. I don’t know how to load/unload a gun. I have NO DESIRE TO LEARN. Abby and Ruby on the other hand seem to enjoy shooting the .22 so I went along for the ride and humored myself by taking photos. We went from here to a bbq to see Casey and Shaye Shaye who’d just flown in from Anchorage.

4/25 Cousins. You don’t see any food on their faces, you are blinded by the over processing crazy edit. :D

4/26 Days and days of beautiful weather and Casey had waited until the day before they were leaving to go to the beach…and it started raining. Windy. Then rain. Then wind and blowing rain. We ended it by having lunch at the Grotto in Charleston and listening to Shaye tell us all how she was an Oregonian now, she wasn’t going back to Alaska, River was just a *baby* and she was going to stay down here…(turns out she really was glad to go home, she had a long week full of adventures).

4/27 We finally remembered to stop in and try Pad Thai at EZ Thai on their $5 Tuesday deal. Was pretty tasty. Had to do this trip while Camden was swimming, it has peanuts. Just wouldn’t be right to eat it in front of him.

4/28 Ruby made this masterpiece in Mr. Hinkel’s room and was very sad when I asked her to leave it there for a few days so other kids could see her awesome work. She was eventually convinced and was glad she had left it so others could see, because Becca and Kayla both commented on it and told her she did a nice job!

4/29 Painting.

4/30 Ruby’s first real field trip. First ride on a school bus. She sat in a big puddle. She got soaking wet. She got tired and cold. She tripped over a log and face planted. She tried to convince me that she’d had a miserable time, but the truth of the matter is that the photos from the trip show her SMILING and getting piggy backed around a bit :D (Thank You Kord for looking out for Ruby).

April 16, 2010 – April 19th :D

4/16 We went to see the shipwreck at Horsefall –it’s an old one that was partially uncovered in the storms and we really should have paid attention to the tide table that day because we didn’t see much of the shell – and it’s already mostly covered back up again. I’m sure there are other shipwrecks we will see here and there – and quite frankly, we didn’t care a whole lot about this one, it was just a nice day and good time for sand play :D

4/19 Diva Zipporah – Daddy bought her a curling iron. I don’t endorse curling (nor straightening) irons. Abigail does.

4/14 Was a Wednesday…I could tell because Mr. Hinkel was in that day’s folder of photos. He works really hard…I know this because my kids are part of his students.
