Seriously, May is over?! Where in the world did it go? Literally it seems like we just celebrated Kinley’s birthday. Yet, here we are at the end of May. Now that I’m blogging again, I try to remember to take pictures daily. So, for my last post of May, I’m going to do an end of May recap via pictures.
First up - we joined Talyn’s class on a trip to the zoo. I think Bode had one too many pictures that day!
I was able to get out for a short walk with the kids and my mother-in-law and had this gorgeous view:
We then came upon the last week of school. At the very last minute, like 9:30 the night before Kinley’s last day, I decided to put together a quick teacher appreciation gift for the girls’ teachers. I googled teacher appreciation Hershey bars and came across a super cute printable, but I’m cheap and didn’t want to pay for it. I decided to open Photoshop and make something similar.
Kinley’s last day was May 22 and Talyn’s last day was May 23. This picture was taken on Kinley’s last day.
When I picked her up from preschool, I almost didn’t recognize her! The teachers had painted faces.
Oh, and look at my yummy lunch one of the days. Chicken, bacon, ranch, and lettuce wrapped in a tortilla. So yummy!
We spent the Memorial Day weekend with my in-laws. They wanted to have an end of the school year bbq for the kids. The first picture is of Bode off by himself playing in the dirt. We were at my sister-in-law’s house and they are working on their landscaping. He had no care in the world that the other kids were off doing other stuff rather than playing with him. We were then out at Mr. Chaotic’s parents’ house. The kids’ favorite thing to do is ride on Papa’s four-wheelers – and the boat too, but I forgot to get a picture. The view is off their back porch and so peaceful, well, except when the other boats are cruising up and down the river.
My birthday happened to fall on Memorial Day this year. We celebrated with lunch at Qdoba. I was really wanting Chinese, but my favorite place was closed. What!? They never close on Christmas…why Memorial Day? After lunch we came home and Mr. Chaotic mowed the yard. It was in dire need! Also, Bode needed his nap. We then left for supper and went to Bruno’s for taco pizza. OMG. The best taco pizza ever!! After that, we stopped to pick up an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Cory and the kids ran in to pick it out while I stayed in the truck. Got home and they put my candles in it and as soon as Cory lit them, Bode thought it was time for him to blow them out. His feelings got hurt when we told him Mommy had to blow them out. When I was done, we relit the candles and gave Bode his chance to blow them out too. All in all I had a pleasant birthday.
This past week has went surprisingly good. I say that only because my daughter’s love to be in each other’s faces twenty-four seven, which in turn leads to me constantly yelling at them to leave each other alone. We started Tuesday off with a trip to the library. The kids must have thought we weren’t going to be going back because they overloaded our bag with books. The library has a 25 book limit so we ended up having to leave two of our books. If you can believe it, Mr. Bode walked the entire way to and from the library! {It’s 13 blocks one way!}
Mr. Chaotic’s mom had sent back home with us his trucks from when he was a little boy. I’m not talking a few either. There are monster trucks, micro machine cars, Hot Wheels cars and the little city, his transformers, and more of his GI Joes. All circa the 1980s! This was taken of the three kiddos playing with dad’s old toys.
Last but not least, we have Mr. Bode riding his new Strider balance bike. We decided we wanted to try one with him to see if they really do work as well as they’re hyped up to work. He’s not quite sure what to think but really doesn’t mind walking the bike. He refuses to sit on the seat at this point, but we are just letting him do what he’s comfortable doing.
That’s it from me. The last of my month in pictures. Now, onto June.
Talk to me:
Did May fly by for you too, or was it just me?
Do you have any summer plans with the kiddos or will you be flying by the seat of your pants like myself?
