Nothing But Hassells

Couldn’t Resist The Pun

We all had fun with Caity’s birthday.  Conner was too excited, but Ellie hated every moment. Something tells me she didn’t appreciate the party favors Caity made.

May 2008

A new Cousin to kiss on!!!!

Caleb’s leprechaun trap, an original design.  Unfortunately, the little guy took the “gold” and ran.

A rare, clear day in the Central Valley. 

I need to get them out more

Tell me how this made sense:  Put the shortest kid in 3 classes on the back row behind the taller kids, next to the tallest 1st grade girl in history?  (took us forever to find him)

... And they never begged to swim in March again.

Spring Break in San Diego!

We went to Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, and Sea World.  We also went to Shaver Lake and the Giant Trees, but I can’t find the pictures.  Maybe I blocked it out.

He’s an alligator, by the way.  Don’t confuse him with a crocodile, I made that mistake only once.

No one else appreciated the Botanical Gardens

Of course, we HAD to ride the train!

Oh, joy.  A miniature train museum.

Dress up, anyone?  Halloween came early this year.  Every time I got a note from school this month, someone needed a costume.  Conner just likes to dress up.  He’s Luke from Bespin.  (I have no idea, he’s on Lego Star Wars is all I know)

Chris and his long lost cousin?

Four little monkeys, swinging in a tree...

This month alone, I have been the mother of Abigail Adams, Cabrillo the Spanish Conquistador,  an alligator, and Luke Skywalker (from Bespin).  Show me that in the manual, mom!!!
