Time keeps marching on

Here are some activities that have kept us busy the 1st half of May. We kicked off the month with a spring piano recital for Conor. He played an arrangement of Waterfall and it sounded fabulous! Hopefully he will stick with it and really learn to love making beautiful music. I was lucky enough to play a duet with him. It was short and really simplified, as we were low on time, but it was fun to play it with him.  I should say he tolerated me.

Josie had to do her 1st grade animal project.  She chose to learn about the basilisk lizard.  Not my first pick, but it is a pretty cool lizard.  She worked really hard on the report and the diorama (so did Mom and Dad and Conor.) We then went to bedtime story night to see her lizard presentation and a play that the whole 1st grade put on about animal biomes.  Josie had a moment in the spotlight with her speaking part.

May finally brought some warm weather and long evenings!  The trampoline came out and the fire pit started to get some great use.   

Last but not least, I had to document some of the car treasures I come across at my house on a daily/hourly basis.  It is a rare night when I go to crawl in bed and I don't find a few cars hidden under the decorative pillows.  Lincoln is passionate about his cars that is for sure!!

-3 cute little sets of shoes waiting for my little ones to get out of bed and come claim them.  One of the moments I actually was glad to see the shoes instead of being angry that they got left out.  Happy to enjoy the journey.
