While out for a leisurely walk, I saw that a neighbor's tulips were too pretty to pass up. I also had the chance to photograph the wisteria that is wrapped around a pine tree. It's the craziest thing! And it is super high...kind of amazing looking, actually.

The whole walk we had to keep picking dandelions for Cash to blow, or attempt to blow. He makes the noise, but no air comes out. It's pretty funny to watch. :)

Now that TCAP is pretty much over, tomorrow is our last day, I have begun to think about the last few weeks of school. It's fantastic in the sense that there aren't as many academic demands, so we have a little more freedom in our lessons. Not to say that we don't do anything, in fact, we have to keep a rigorous schedule to keep the kids from getting chaotic. However, I have more time to incorporate more artistic endeavors and more projects. I love it.

May is always extremely busy at school, too. The days fly by...yay! Summer will be here before you know it.

Full of anticipation,
Tracy Nichole

I am really loving all of these flower post's - these are absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for sharing :) aknor · 2008-04-17: 18:13

What beautiful tulips! I really like the perspective and dof in #4. Cash's little clutch on the dandelion is adorable:) I agree about the end of the year....I hope I can remember how to teach creatively:) Yay for May!! ambersunsets · 2008-04-17: 18:26

those tulips are so pretty ..Cash looks so cute and I love that he tires to blow but no air comes out :) ????? · 2008-04-17: 18:47

Great set! I really like how the petals are pointed in, and the perspective on 5 is really great. The last one is cute, that's too funny about him not blowing the dandelion fluff. majikmonkee · 2008-04-17: 19:39

thank you! your flower post is GORGEOUS!!! and your son, a handsome little boy. superscoffer · 2008-04-17: 19:54

Oh, what a feast for sore eyes! Thanks! Are you sure that "lilac" isn't wisteria ;-) Great photo of it. Cash is supposed to make a wish when he blows too...and send the seeds off to the fairies to hear his wish. (And good luck on teaching what a wish is)! oldbabe · 2008-04-17: 20:48

beautiful flowers! ????? · 2008-04-17: 21:24

hehehe Cash is so adorable!! :D I used to obsess over those things when I was little - I had to grab any if I saw them when my parents and I were out walking :) I still do it... lol Glad to hear that, whilst you will be busy, the harder part of teaching is over for the week... :) Peche · 2008-04-18: 04:50
