May Day! May Day!

Well it's a good thing that this week was less stressful than last week since last week nearly put me out of commission for two days after.  Or maybe that was depression over the newest 4 inches of snow that got dumped on us.....  Thankfully it's mostly melted now.  And thankfully, between the snow, it's been beautiful and sunny - so we have still been able to spend a lot of time playing outside.

Wednesday - the first day of May we had a bunch of snow dumped on us - but thankfully the roads never got bad - the kids and I went to the library that morning - the only bad part was walking in it since the wind was driving it into our faces.  But the library is becoming a weekly trip again - Aaron and Evie are each allowed 1 book and I grab 1 book - so it's easy to keep track of them :)  and when we go each week, we don't have any over due books and if Eileen doesn't leave her lunch in the car and requires us to drive back and drop it off, we can even make story time.

Anna left out a half eaten apple - she had put it down, meaning to come back and finish it after some time on the swings, but James got to it first - and really enjoyed chewing on it - he didn't get much, but he really seemed to like it.

Friday, Eileen had a slumber party that she went to - she had a blast and exhausted herself good - and while she partied, the kids back home got to have their own little pizza party.

On Saturday, Eileen, Anna and I went to a Dolly and Me Tea Party at my Great Aunt Joan's Church.  She was one of the main organizers and many of the dolls on display were hers.  The girls loved coming with their dolls and getting their dolls dressed up and doing a special event with mommy.  They enjoyed making new friends with the other little girls there and they loved putting their dolls up on the display tables and then bringing every sweet little old lady who would give them her attention over to the table to see their dolls.  The girls also had a great time stuffing themselves with cookies and treats.

We have also been slowly getting some yard work done and trying to make our yards look more like we would like them to.  Getting some flower beds ready to plant and getting old and kinda ugly stuff taken out and dead stuff taken out.  The kids have had fun working with us and are looking forward to picking their plants to put in the flower bed.
