It was the beginning of Mother's Day weekend. We began by going to the art and music show at Johnson Park. There hanging from the ceiling was Benjamin's butterfly and then we marched on to admire the 5th grade people this optimistic note from Ms. Bender's class and this tribute to touch typing.

Saturday morning, Suzanne struggled at Benjamin's feet as he hid to ultimately get Benjamin's soccer shoes on. Jane and Kaylen continued to have their online experience as I heard my shoes calling to me so that we could go to the soccer game.

Naomi and Claire were at the soccer game happy to pose

and show me their father as the game proceeded and Benjamin

joined the action. Claire (or was it Naomi) was also liking the game as Benjamin went back in for the second half. He played for the green team this half because they were short handed.

After the game, came the slow assembly of the teams

for the league picture of all 2nd and 3rd graders. Benjamin's team did not have a sponsor so this might be the only group picture taken of them. Eventually, the photographer got them all together and I think this is what she saw

After soccer, we returned home where we saw these beautiful remnants of Jane's breakfast and prepared this vaguely unhealthy food for Benjamin's lunch which looked good especially when we centered the picture in the frame. After the obligatory picture of the Capri Sun container in front of the PopCorn bowl, we watched Sarah teach Kaylen some math and recorded Kaylen's work for all to check. For her good works, we wanted to be sure that Kaylen would Forget-AllOfUs-Not and so gave her the seeds.

Next we gathered Jane and Kaylen to drop them off at the mall so that we could take these before during

and after pictures of Benjamin's haircut.

After picking up Jane and Kaylen, we did our traveling movie as we passed through the stop sign along the road to Kaylen's house. Unfortunately, our battery died so that we couldn't capture Chris mowing his lawn.
