Cinco de Derby

This month has been quite a whirlwind!!

I took on another homebound student, so I'm having to teach both kiddos after school every day = cuts into my blogging time.  Love my new girl, though-- despite  a tough battle with cancer, she's so vivacious and has me snorting with laughter every time I see her. Definitely helps keep life in perspective as to what's truly important...

And what absolutely helps make life worth living are friends, dressing up like rich people, (and mint juleps don't hurt either.) Last weekend we celebrated the derby AND Cinco de Mayo in one shindig. Fancy dress was required, as was mustaches and sombreros. We ate our faces off in a shrimp boil and donned our fuzzy 'staches post-derby. It was quite the occasion...

Staging a picture for Erick's START Movement--- email him and he'll write you a personalized haiku. They're the best.


The girls!


and the boys


Christmas card pic, perhaps?











Miss Pip didn't understand why her horse didn't win... and was inquiring as to why everyone was screaming so loudly during the race...


We sat around like rich people with our fancy drinks and tried not to talk about work...







And then it was time for PART II, which entailed mustachios and an adult piƱata. Epic. 











3 more weeks till summer :)
