Love is in the Air

Look closely and this crudely made craft. Between all the hearts and the happy couple are the words "I (love=heart) you Kendall." I found this love note in Kendall's backpack after school. When I asked her where she got it she said,

"Oh mom, Jacob gave that to me at school."

Me: "Who's Jacob?"

K: "Just a kid in my class. I guess he likes me."

Me: "What did you do when he gave it to you?"

K: "I said thank you (whew..good girl) and then snuck it into my backpack."

Me: "Did you show it to your friends?"

K: Lots of unnecessary and exaggerated eye-rolling "Oh my gosh, NO!! I would die. I didn't tell anyone."

Me: "He hasn't tried to kiss you, has he?"

K: "MMMOOOOOMMMMMMMM, GGGGRRRROOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!"

How stinkin' cute is that?

I Have No Title

I sat for a few minutes and tried to think of a little story to go with this picture and here it is.

Maddie was outside and she sat in a bucket. The End.

Props to Gramps

The Hall family wanted to give a shout out to our patriarch Larry (aka Dad and Gramps) Hall who will be celebrating his retirement of 35 years with his company. Thirty five years is a looooooong time (he's been working there since before I was born) to work at the same company. If you don't think it is, then you're probably one of the few people in the world that has never had a job. Nana and Gramps are currently on a Caribbean cruise (we'll try not to act jealous when they get back) so they won't see this for quite a few days, but congratulations on your retirement from the Hall family. May your next 35 years be a lot more relaxing than the last 35!

Elementary School MOOsical

Kendall's first grade class had their music program last night. Kendall was a nervous wreck that she was going to mess up the words or the hand actions. She made it through and it was a really cute program. Best part of the program? It was 12 and a half minutes. Ahhh...perfect amount of time. They're cute but I couldn't listen to much more than 15 minutes of the funky chicken song.

I'm just leaving it

So I finally get the time and the motivation to update the blog after a little writing hiatus. I change the layout and decide to upload a new Easter picture of the girls. FORTY-FIVE minutes later I'm still dealing with the picture not wanting to shrink to fit in the window. I'm walking away from it and plan to try it again soon. So I'm sorry that everyone will have to look at a picture of half the kids. Just avert your eyes for the next few hours.
