End of May = Super Fun Times!

May 29th --> Back at the McWane Center!!

Hanging out at the massive train table

Vroom, vroom!! Alex loved the giant Monopoly car!

 
Ok, this next photo is for my brother, James!! I actually screamed - out loud - to my friend, Kelly, "It's Buddy!!!!!!" The McWane Center is sharing the popular toys from the good ole days called Toytopia and WOW! I just couldn't believe that James' sidekick was hanging out behind the glass!! How funny!! Jame took this little boy everywhere. EVERYWHERE. I so, so wish I had a photo. I have one in my head that I remember.... He was like...4 or so? He was wearing some rain boots, a fire hat, riding a trike, and Buddy was along for the ride. Hilarious. Love it!

It's.....Buddy!!

May 30th --> Just hanging around the house...

Loves watching his Daddy!

LOTS of board games have been happening around here lately. I am LOVING it!!

Sequence!

 

Andrew is such a serious little guy

Made his move - closer to winning!

 May 31st --> Open House Day! Where do you thing we all headed? Yes...McWane!!

Austin and I played cars and kitchen while Jason was running around with Andrew and Alex

Found Daddy! Loving the pic of Austin reading to the baby in the highchair. So sweet.

A very unbalanced game of Tug-of-War before heading back home

It was another fun week here at the House. Want to see what is coming up for our summer? Here's just an idea...

Good times are ahead!! 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pregnancy Updates: Last week of the 3rd trimester!! Which is great and not great... More on that later. Anyway, lots of kicking, of course. Apparently, Aria is picky. She does NOT like it when I try to sleep on my right side. So weird. And, blah blah. I know... "Sleep on your left side when pregnant" bologna. Whatever. I think I may only follow the no alcohol rule. Anyway, Aria is not a fan of the right side. So, I have now become a left side sleeper...which I am not a fan of. But, she definitely lets me know about it until I move. So, yeah. Princess Picky Pants.

House Updates: PLEASE PLEASE pray that we will be getting an offer soon.... We should know something this weekend. We are hoping that it is good news.

May Happenings

Here's a look back at the month of May! I have a bunch of special events pictures to share, but they get their own post. Stay tuned. For now, enjoy these while I get back my little guys. Happy Thursday!

Lazy May Days

While I am working on the boys "Year Books" - organizing pictures and such, here's a look at what we have been up to during these lazy days of May. Enjoy!

 We kicked off May with one of best friend's birthday parties! 

 Austin has decide that he is definitely a big kid...

...and can drive a car. 

We had MANY wonderful days of sunshine! Which, of course made for MANY great picnics!

 Peanut butter and honey? Yes, please!

Lunch with a best friend? Absolutely!

Dinner outside, too? Why not?

Of course we had MANY bike rides, as well. 

 Sometimes just after breakfast to beat the heat.

Or just after dinner to beast the heat (but i won't complain...not after our winter...)

And, when we aren't eating outside or riding bikes, the boys are in the sand box.

Or enjoying the heat from the inside:

 He's my little kitten :)

 

 Hope everyone is having an awesome start to their summer!!

Wrapping Up May - Welcome Summer!

As much as we were hoping Summer would get here, but WOW! May decided to finish up in quite a hurry! We did enjoy a lot of time out in the sun, a day (or two) at the zoo, fun at the library, and just enjoying each other. June is just around the corner and is going to be a VERY busy month!

Filling his dump truck with water for his "quarry" in that back corner 

We are at the zoo, no joke, every single week it seems (unless it is cold and rainy), but this is the first time they needed a map LOL. What funny boys...

The reptile/amphibian house is one of their favorite spots

But this time we actually spotted the toad that lived with the snakes - he is never out!!

Train ride past the giraffes

We headed to library to grab the boys' reading bags for joining the summer reading program. And, wow! They got the coolest bags, too. I made sure to sign up the morning that the online sign-up was live. Glad I did! They have the cutest canvas bags for all of their books. So, mamas - sign up first to get the awesome freebies for our kids. :) I'll get a pic of the bags posted soon. For now, you get to see them so excited about their gummy "book worms" - Love it!

With all of the fun, I am definitely making sure that some school working is still taken care of each day. Andrew has to do 3 pages from a workbook every day - we have quite a few to choose from, too. As long as he is happy doing it, I am happy! We have to keep the school work going. Just because it is summer doesn't mean that the learning stops. :) 

Ah, here is where we get to take a breath of relaxation... June is here and it is hitting us hard! It is a lot of fun, but we can't believe it is already 1/2 way over (almost)!

Hope y'all are having a fantastic summer, too!!
