May Things

Maycember is a very real and quality term as this month is CRAZY busy but oh so fun.

Our friends hosted a super sweet get together to celebrate the marathon and we felt so loved! 




Ady and some buddies at recital rehearsal...


Grandpa got to come to a Home Depot workshop...


And our friends gave us a whole Sri Lanka immersion night. Dilshan is from Sri Lanka and they cooked an appetizer, we had legit drinks and then we headed to a restaurant where we learned and tasted ALL the things followed by a late night meal they also cooked back at home. It was absolutely amazing and they are the sweetest of friends!


The chickens are getting big and we are all in love. (Minus dad, he could care less). 




Muffins with mom for the last time with my sweet girl...


Drew got to dissect a shark and they needed classroom volunteers so of course I joined. It was a SUPER cool (and smelly) thing to partake in and Drew's shark even had babies in it! 


We had an hour to spare on a morning when Touch a Truck was going on. I honestly thought Will would say no and was SUPER happy when he said he wanted to go. Ady even said she'd join! We went with Drew almost every year growing up so it was a fun visit.


Ady got to show off her ballet variation solo in which she did AMAZING under the guidance of her awesome ballet director. :)

May Field Trips

Yes I chaperone as many field trips as I can. You only get one elementary school period on your life and I wouldn't miss these moments for anything! 

First up was Will's field trip to the butterfly gardens. 




And Ady's was to the Perot Museum...

Recital Year 2 with Harlen House

Year 2 with Harlen House and Ady's 9th dance recital was wonderful. This was her first year doing the RAD ('really awesome dancer') dance with her dad which was a blast! 



I genuinly think one of her favorite parts of dance is working with the littles. She got to stand off stage directing them in their dance and I could just FEEL how proud she was to have this role and she's SO good with the little kids. 



Chickens! ... round 3

We decided to hatch some baby chicks again after finding this little program in COVID. This is our third time and we only had one live chick. The kiddos were a little upset so I emailed inquiring about our options and the farmer asked if we wanted 5 more chicks dropped off! So, we now have 6 little chicks to play with for a few more days before they go back to the farm. They are adorable, we take them out often to play with and it's just cute how much the kiddos love them.
