The first two weeks of May are a perfect storm around here.  

Here's what we have this week and next: M&A birthday, M&A birthday party, Bye Bye Birdie x3 + cast party, Special Visitors Day at TSNS, BEA for me in Chicago, Homesnap's annual big party, Mother's Day, no school Friday, Teacher Appreciation Day, Lafayette Spring Fair and a bunch of dinners and events for Daddy. Crazy!

Tonight we baked a million cookies for the girls to take to school tomorrow for their birthday. M&A also made adorable handmade cards for their teachers. I will take photos before they go out the door tomorrow.

A is rehearsing every day. Tomorrow she's there until 8 and they are giving the kids a pizza dinner.

M is keeping up with ballet, mostly. Her foot has been bothering her so she has been sitting out a bit.

And little N had his Special Visitor Day at TSNS. Nana came and saw his classroom, his adorable book pinata, and helped him make a sock puppet. The puppet is a porcupine named Beaver (because they are both sharp). It was a lot of fun! N loved dancing with Miles and watching for his photo on the slide show (it eventually appeared) and being with Nana.

We've had time to laugh too. Here is A after eating too much dinner and cookie dough:
