A picture blog to catch up: not katchup

the week following our return was a blur.  I mostly walked round the house like a zombie and when James was home to extra time to myself to recharge.  being a single parent is to emotional exhausting.  My hat goes off to all parents who raise their kids on their own.  

With that said.  Here is a collection of photos from my week as a zombie.

Monday James got a call to catch another swarm of bees and since it was close by we all decided to come watch.  As James was getting ready the swarm decided to move.  It was pretty impressive watching a ball of bees unravel and in a large cloud migrate somewhere else.

 The Thursday before Mother's day we went to the Library to get Museum pass and ended up listening to story time and creating Mother's day crafts.  then off to the Museum to say Hi to Grandma Sharolee and spend 2 hours exploring.  Which mad us all a little hungry so Hello Cupcake followed.  And of course we had to take a cupcake to Papa at work.  We came home to play in the yard for a half an hour and then it was time to attend the girls' last day of Taekwondo.  It was a super fun busy day.
