Here, the ducking is cyewt (cute).

Madd Max Meet The Prize Ball

Toby and Taisie are leaving tomorrow to head to Panama and then NH for the summer and fall.  They brought over prize balls, a first at the Kender-Page.  They helped distract from the we-will-miss-you-terribly feelings.

Madd Max Have A Spring Dance

 Waiting to perform.

 The infamous Chicken Dance.

 The start of 1st grade's performance.

Jailhouse Rock.

Madd Max Have A Sleepover And More

 After a night over at the Findleys - a car ride with some added comforting.  After all, there is pain in being the only one who still has to ride in a car seat.

(A sleepover because the Findley parents were at the season finale of SNL - where Drew was working with the musical guest).

Followed by a birthday party for Elizabeth.

 Petal tossing in the backyard with Aeryn.

Madd Max Enjoy Mother's Day

The morning spent at their grandmother's house, while Jess got pancakes from Sam in the quiet of their own home.

And Sam and his mommy.

Madd Max Has A School Open House

In Max's classroom:  I think I can beat Plants vs. Zombies.

Some of his fine work.

And what impressed Jess the most - the Butterfly Life Cycle done in pasta: Conchigliette = Egg / Rotini = Caterpillar / Shells = Chrysalis / Bowtie = Butterfly.

In Maddie's classroom: her self portrait.
