Making tamales...with my helpers. Andy come home just as we were finishing and took a picture of us all. Ben did a surprisingly great job of putting the masa into wrappers! Emily handed us the dough, and Annie was the chicken girl!
My best Mother's Day morning so far! They made me a fabulous breakfast, complete with lots of hugs and kisses and plenty of artwork and sweet notes to decorate my bulletin board!
Sweet Emily on the swing! She often has to do her tummy because Mommy just doesn't want to push anymore!
Annie and her friend Mia. This is after they had been making trains with Emily also, and Emily fell over onto the ground. So sad!
Ben has had the most fabulous teacher this year. We all just love her! They did an end of the year Poetry Celebration where the kids each recited a poem they learned throughout the year. Ben had Groundhog's Day. They were supposed to dress up accordingly.
A friend told us about a pick-your-own farm where they went to get asparagus. The kids and I decided to try it out while Dad was still in Dallas. We had so much fun!!! Actually, Emily didn't love it because she wouldn't put on real shoes and I think it was irritating. Ben and Annie had a blast! (Notice the little lines on Emily's face. What do you think she is trying to be???)
I never knew how asparagus grew! I was very surprised, it's just a random field that looks like a bunch of weeds! It is amazingly satisfying to snap off the stem!!!
My three sweeties! We thought we were doing so well and had picked a ton! When we went in to weigh it, we only had a little over two pounds, so we decided to pick some more. Ben and Annie went to town and quickly filled our buckets, so we brought home almost 6 pounds of asparagus! Good thing we all love it! AND - it will taste even better since I only paid $1.10 a pound!!!
Sunday we wiped down the chairs and cleaned the floors before our cute new home teachers came over. (They are 82 and 78, and the kids are amazed by how old they are!) Emily decided to be a train conductor, complete with cell phone, sun glasses, a tutu, and music! Ben and Annie had abandoned the game by this point!

Love it. We grew asparagus in Texas. It grows like an inch a day if not more. Seriously.
