Buzz buzz buzz!!

I sincerely apologize for the blurriness of this picture....
BUT LOOK!!!
Miss Abbey was a bee at her kindergarten recital!
And can I tell you a little secret?
I made this costume ALL BY MYSELF!!! Well, Uncle Dan helped a little.
But look!!
I sewed those stripes on a yellow shirt!!
SEWED!!
ME!!
AND!!
I made the cute little wings in the back that you can barely see.
AND,
I know you wouldn't think it, but those antenae, they gave me the hardest time!!
Did you know that if you spray paint styrofoam it dissolves?
Well, now you know.
I had to get creative with those things, and I loved how all of it turned out.
Abbey did such a good job in her recital. She got to go up to the front and sing a song about bees, and she got to turn around and shake her little stinger.
It was so cute, I almost fainted.

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

Both of my kids were in the Cinco De Mayo parade this weekend.
Let me tell you, they were
SO EXCITED!!!

Here is Abbey after riding on her float.
Side note....she lost yet another (bottom) tooth the night before.
That tooth Fairy is gonna go broke, that's her third to be lost!!
The Safford Dance Academy Float.

Clara got to ride in the truck of the very exciting Bashas float.
Her daddy was the driver, and Skylar and Ava (cousins) got to ride as well.


Here is the Bashas float (which, I have to include, won for most original float).
That poor bear must have been so hot in the sun, but he was a good sport.
They even passed out free water bottles.
Can you believe it?
Free!!!
Gotta love Bashas.
