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

IMG_0113
and then we marched on
IMG_0114
to admire the 5th grade people
IMG_0115
IMG_0116
this optimistic note
IMG_0117
from Ms. Bender's class and this tribute
IMG_0118
to touch typing.
Saturday morning, Suzanne struggled at Benjamin's feet
IMG_0119
as he hid
IMG_0120
IMG_0121
to ultimately get Benjamin's soccer shoes on.
Jane and Kaylen
IMG_0122
IMG_0123
continued to have their online experience as I heard my shoes
IMG_0124
calling to me so that we could go to the soccer game.
Naomi and Claire were at the soccer game happy to
pose
IMG_0125
IMG_0126
IMG_0127
IMG_0128
IMG_0129
and show me their father
IMG_0130
IMG_0131
IMG_0132
IMG_0133
as the game proceeded
IMG_0134
and Benjamin
IMG_0135
IMG_0136
IMG_0137
IMG_0138
IMG_0139
joined the action.
Claire (or was it Naomi)
IMG_0140
was also liking the game as Benjamin
IMG_0141
went back in for the second half. He played for the green
team this half
IMG_0142
IMG_0143
IMG_0144
IMG_0145
because they were short handed.
After the game, came the slow assembly of the teams
IMG_0146
IMG_0147
IMG_0148
IMG_0149
IMG_0150
for the league picture of all 2nd and 3rd graders.
Benjamin's team
IMG_0151
IMG_0152
IMG_0153
did not have a sponsor so this might be the only group
picture taken of them. Eventually, the photographer
got them all together
IMG_0154
IMG_0155
IMG_0156
and I think this is what she saw
IMG_0157
IMG_0158
After soccer, we returned home where we saw these
beautiful remnants
IMG_0159
of Jane's breakfast and prepared this
IMG_0160
vaguely unhealthy food for Benjamin's lunch which looked
good
IMG_0161
especially when we centered the picture
IMG_0162
in the frame. After the obligatory picture of the
Capri Sun container
IMG_0163
in front of the PopCorn bowl, we watched Sarah teach
Kaylen some math
IMG_0164
and recorded Kaylen's work
IMG_0165
for all to check. For her good works, we wanted
to be sure that Kaylen would
IMG_0166
Forget-AllOfUs-Not and so gave her the seeds.
Next we gathered Jane and Kaylen
IMG_0167
to drop them off at the mall
IMG_0168
IMG_0169
so that we could take these before
IMG_0170
IMG_0171
during
IMG_0172
IMG_0173
IMG_0174
IMG_0175
IMG_0176
and after
IMG_0177
IMG_0178
pictures of Benjamin's haircut.
After picking up Jane and Kaylen, we did our
MVI_0179.AVI
traveling movie
as we passed through the stop sign
IMG_0180
along the road
IMG_0181
to Kaylen's house. Unfortunately, our battery
died so that we couldn't capture Chris mowing his lawn.
