Aftermath of the Cicadas

So many have heard about the cicadas that plagued our area this year.  They are harmless but ugly and annoying little suckers.  And boy are they loud. 

Now that the onslaught is pretty much over, its nice to finally be able to hear the birds and such again.  Unfortunately, they do cause a little aftermath.  We have many many trees in the area that look like the picture below with lots of brown spots.  But, we won't see these guys for another 17 years.

Happy Father's Day!

I asked Ken today if 10 years ago he thought he would ever be driving a minivan rocking out to songs from Disney movies.  He really is an awesome Dad.  If he wasn't, would he allow his kids (and his niece) to do this to him.

Isabella had decided that she needed to have a spa night, so Ken helped her make a "facial" and she painted toenails and fingernails.  And he was rewarded by this....

Kindergarten Graduation

I can't believe Kindergarten is over.  Isabella's Kindergarten Graduation was on Friday (even though there is still a day and a half left of school).  It was lots of fun to see a few skits and such from Isabella's class and to see them get their certificates.  It was especially fun for me since I was in the classroom every week and knew the kids as well.  Unfortunately she got sick that night and couldn't go out and celebrate with us.  We'll celebrate later instead.

The background kind of stunk, so I added this background in for all the kids in the class.
