On May 6th, Emily's class had a competition to see who would present their Fable at Oratory Night (1 person from each grade 1st - 12 grade, some of the upper grades had more than one person). The 3rd graders work on rewriting Fables in their own words through out the year. Then they choose their top 3 that they thought was best and the teacher chose the one they were to memorize and say for the competition in their class. On this day the students were able to wear church clothes instead of their uniforms.

awesome job, but was not the one picked for her class.
The boy that won did a great job too.

May 7th:
The NILD students and therapists had a pizza party for all the hard work that was done through out the whole year. Siblings and parents were invited to come to it too.

Mother's Day weekend. About a week before Mother's Day Scott and I took the girls to Starving Artists Studios to make plates for me Mother's Day. While there we made the grandmother's one too. On their's we used both girls' hands to make a heart. On Sunday the children's choirs sang a song at the beginning of each church service for the Moms.
My plates, flowers, and homemade cards. I
LOVED how the plates turned out!!

May 10th: KA's class went on a field trip. This was really one of their first "real" field trips (they had went to sing at a retirement center and a trip back in Oct. to the pumpkin patch had been cancelled), to the Virginia Living Museum. KA was paired up with her BFF so she was a happy camper.

We had the most fun watching the otters play.
This is the first time that we had been where
they were this active!
May 15th: KA had a birthday party to go to. They had a bounce house and slide in one, in the backyard. They had hotdogs and burgers for lunch and then cupcakes and ice cream. It was a hot day and the bounce house kept burning the kids feet, but a fun time was had by all.

I just thought this picture was so cute!
Weekend of May 21st: My BFF, Jolene, came to visit me from Mobile!! While the girls were in school we went to the outlet mall in Williamsburg. We didn't get many pictures while on our outings, but we had a great visit with one another!! Thanks Jolene for coming to visit!
Jolene's FAVORITE store.
Jolene spent a lot of money in this store so that I could
get these Water Bottles for the girls! That is what I call
a GREAT friend!!!
