Pirate Hat Papa
Nerdy Viking Hat Rob (this one is a classic)
Pillbox and Feathers Hat Amy
Amish Lady Hat Linda
Kentucky Derby Hat Elisabeth
Train Guy Hat Andrew (it was the only hat he would model)
Backwards Beret Hat Matt
Grandma in the Hat
And last but certainly not least "Horny Hat Grandpa "
Matt loves the Taco Shop
Grandpa got Red Snapper complete with head and eyeballs
Andrew is fairly sure this is the same fish we saw dead on the beach the day before
Sometimes it's random but fun to hang a fork from your ear while you're eating your taco
Andrew leads the line while Pomp and Circumstance plays in the background
He was very serious about his graduation
The class sang "She's a Grand Ole Flag" 
Andrew told everyone that his favorite part of school was playing Motorcycle with his friends
Sometimes these things just go on to long 
Andrew receives his diploma
Hey, I can see through this diploma
Now a celebratory brownie and an announcement that "This was more fun than I thought it was going to be"
Got these blue plastic jelly shoes today at the store, I love them.
I'm finding them a little difficult to navigate the sand in.
So i guess I better take them off
But the slide is hot so I better put them back on
This is really great, this Nanny will put these shoes on and off for me all day!
I guess now I can go off and play knowing someone will meet my shoe needs before I actually know they need to be met. Can't get much better service than this Nanny.
Rebekkah decides to play dress-up
Much to Michelle's and my delight
Nice Hat!!!!

Zachary graduated from kindergarten on Friday. He is getting to be such a big boy. It is amazing how much he has learned in kindergarten. He can read, write and do math problems. When I was in kindergarten I learned how to skip. Way to go Zachary, we are proud of you.
Ben's class had their annual end of the year play. This year it was called Rumpus in the Rain Forest. Ben was a Monkey.
It warmed my heart to see this formerly shy little boy stand up and belt out a song all by himself complete with animation and without hesitation.
After his play he showed everyone the report he had done on the Mouse Lemur.
In the 1950's midwestern dinners often consisted of something like tuna casarole and lima beans or hash and a wedge of lettuce with orange french dressing. We were required to sit at the table until our plates were clean, we all spent a lot of time at the dining room table. On the rare occasion we had company for dinner we would have something special like "Aspic". Sometimes it was tomato aspic and sometimes it was really "fancy" like the chicken aspic above. We were fed early in the kitchen where I usually remained long after the company had gone. I hated aspic, still do.
