thirty-one days of May have come and gone in a blinding speed - good thing I had my camera because the split second snap of the shutter was just about all I had time for ...
 |
| too bad my camera settings weren't adjusted for indoors, but here are mommy's favorite ladybugs before the Spring May Day concert at school on May 4th |
 |
| while at the aforementioned May Day concert - can you hear the screeching of those saxophones? I sure did ... |
 |
| my little cake boss used about 10 different frosting tips to create a bouquet of frosting flowers and the perfect mother's day cake! |
 |
| little ladybug now has her own garden - lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, basil, parsley, mint, chives, oregano, you name it ... and best of all, she planted it with my mother while she visited that weekend :) |
 |
| holy smokes, I can barely look at this photo without the tears welling up ... |
 |
| full length shot of my big ladybug heading out to her first black-tie gala (the bat mitzvah party of a classmate - the third of the four) what fun to be thirteen! |
 |
| these 3 have been friends since first grade - hard to believe the transformation |
 |
| the black-tie aspect gave it a very 'prom-like' feeling as all these great classmates gathered at school before the bus took them into Boston ... |
 |
| lots of great swag was tossed to the kids on the dance floor later that night ... |
 |
| gathering at the start of the Memorial Day parade ... love this shot |
 |
| my ladybug Girl Scout |
 |
| Memorial Day-ing |
 |
| ... the perfect end to a busy but wonderful May 2012 ... |
