May 2021 Roundup

Our May was a equal parts fun and misery. We had a end of year school activities and celebrations, a visit from grandparents, and a spontaneous trip to St. George, but also sickness and BED BUGS!! (separate post on that coming soon). We made it through though, and are now ready for summer!! We have lots of fun plans over the next couple months and are looking forward to camps, trips and other events that weren't able to happen last year due to Covid.

I have no explanation for why Davey was coloring naked one evening

The city came through and repaved our entire neighborhood! Hooray!! Our court was a crumbly, gravel mess that was horrible for riding bikes or scooters. The boys loved watching the paving team work that morning and we will all enjoy having a new, smooth road.


Sophie was able to attend Activity Days a few times before summer break. She loves her leader, who is always planning darling activities for the girls. Before school got out she hosted a mommy/daughter tea party at her home. We ate a yummy lunch, learned about manners, and then the girls sang a song about mothers. I was glad I got to hear it then, because we missed them performing at church due to strep.


First splash pad outing of summer! Normally these don't turn on until Memorial Day, but the city activated them early this year and we were excited about it!


Texas has the coolest clouds


The hammock swings and climbing dome continue to be backyard favorites



I found this paper in Sophie's room one day, She was really mad that I wouldn't let her have more dessert one evening and so she made a list of all the mean things I do. Luckily she ran out of ideas after three lines. Hopefully she does not wish death on me anymore either.



The sand pit has been a fun new addition to our Discovery Center. On this trip we made a visit after it had rained the previous day so the sand was perfect for making castles.

Memorial Day was cold and rainy so we met up with friends to see Cruella. I only took the older two kids and Sophie loved the movie, while Davey mostly loved the snacks.
