Berkeley is 3!

April 1st is the day we've *decided* is Berkeley's birthday. The vet figures she's about this age. Carter was pretty excited to have a party for her. We did get her some gifts - aka, things she needed like new litter, food, and treats. She also got a new toy, a new collar (hers was getting old) and a small cat of food for dinner. I thought this pic was pretty cute of her.

Easter Fun at School

Carter's class had an Easter (ahem, SPRING) party the last day of school before Spring Break. Carter was super excited that I was going to help. I think he was still a bit put out that I missed the Valentine's Party = even though Steve went in my place. It's always fun to go to his class and see the kids. They had a good time with a lunch of juice, pizza, apples, and cookies.

Carter was also excited that he was "student of the day" in the class. He had a lot of extra responsibilites that day - being first in line, making some rules, etc.

Leading everyone in from the playground...

His teacher organized an egg hunt. Every child had an egg with his/her name on it and they had FUN.

He found his egg!

A great day overall...and a fabulous day to start our Spring Break week!

Quick Gift...

Today was Carter's teacher's birthday. The class gave her a card and I made this "pencil" for them to give her. It's made out of a Pringles container!

It's feeling good to get back to crafting. I've missed it. I think I'm coming out of my scrapbook funk and getting some mojo back. Now to find a new online home and gallery to share my work!

Spring Photos

Carter's school had spring photos a few weeks ago. Unfortunately it was the day after we got back from Calgary and poor Carter was a little under the weather, tired, and he also picked up "Slap Cheek" from several of his classmates who love to share their germs. ;)

I am definitely being the mean mom by sharing this pic - but I have to say, I think it's hilarious.

Needless to say, we didn't buy it, but I couldn't help snapping a quick pic to remember this by. He looks like a cross between really mad and super miserable. Still pretty cute though! ;)

Kindergarten fun with the Opera!

I was excited to go help out in Carter's class today. I don't get the opportunity to work in his classroom very often, so when I am invited to go I jump on the opportunity. Today was a fun day! Carter's teacher had invited the San Francisco Opera Guild to come and do a presentation with the kids.

Some of my blog readers might not know that I am trained as an Opera singer, and since Carter's teacher knew this, she was sure I'd want to come and check it out. I had a great time!

The opera was Hansel and Gretal and all the kids got turns to play different parts. Here is Carter as the gingerbread house!

After that, he got a turn to be Hansel. The little girl in the photo is one of his BFF's and he's quite insistent at this point in time that they are going to get married one day! LOL. I thought this photo was especially funny since it looks like she's lecturing him about something! ;)

He's hiding behind her to stay safe from the witch...right before they push her into the oven!

...and there she goes!

It was a fun day! Really makes me think I need to get back to singing again...I am so out of practice! It would also probably help if Carter would stop sharing his germs with me and I could get rid of this cough! ugh!!!

Spring Fling!

Last weekend was the Mom's Club Annual Spring Fling. Carter always enjoys it since there is an egg hunt. He also had a fun time doing crafts!

He spent about 20minutes coloring this picture in...and then was very proud of it.

The egg hunt begins!

With the Easter Bunny.

This is apparently the nicest smile he could muster! LOL
