Katherine's Piano Recital

Up until the week before the recital, Katherine had been telling her teacher that she was NOT going to perform. She told me the same thing one day and I responded with a cool "yes you are".

By the time she was done, Katherine was prepared to play three pieces for the recital. Not bad for a girl who wasn't going to play. And she did a really good job, despite being really nervous.

Happy Mother's Day

After my kids took me out to dinner in a mom–gets–to–pay kind of way, we went to Ben & Jerry's for some ice cream on Church Street. Ben & Jerry's offers free ice cream to mom's on Mother's Day.

I told the kids that I wanted a picture with them, but they were pretty reluctant. After the ice cream, I finally got a picture. I'm not sure that I will be hanging it on my wall, but it was a sweet and to a pretty relaxing Mother's Day.
