The Chronicles of Jill: May 2012

April was a ton of fun!

She made an Easter necklace

She has been taking a cooking class this past month, and has had a lot of fun there. These were taken on the first day.

Delicious!

We had these clothes sitting the closet for over a month because we hadn't had nice enough weather to wear them. So one morning I told her we'd have a fashion show and she went all in. The stuffed animals and dolls on her bed are the audience, and she even had music playing. So darling!

classic Jill--this captures her perfectly

We took a trip to Fire Station 21, I believe it was, to see Steve on the 2nd day of a 48 hour shift.

Another day, another school session...

we read 2 stories and made a Venn Diagram

We got our seeds started and our garden boxes ready!

It had been almost a year, so it was high time for a concert!

Henny had an unfortunate accident while Jill and I were throwing the ball for her at the park. Jill was a champ and sat at the vet for 1.5 hours with NOTHING to entertain her while we waited for Henny to be seen. We eventually had to leave her there so I could get Jill fed and in bed, and we had a friend bring her home later since Steve was at work. Diagnosis: shattered 4th toe. Treatment: splint for 4-6 weeks. It's been really hard on her, but she's handling it pretty well. She's REALLY missing her daily runs!
