{5.19.18} Lydia's cute neighbor-friend invited her to her ballet recital and Lydia has been dying of anticipation ever since. We've been counting down the days and making sure there were absolutely no scheduling conflicts. The day finally arrived and she carefully selected a bouquet of flowers to give to her after the performance, picked a fancy dress (with only a minor meltdown about the shirt I wanted her to wear under it), and put ringlets in her hair (also because she melted down when I told her we needed to do her hair, but telling her we were making it fancy did the trick). She asked her daddy to escort her and she had a great time. I love this sweet girl and her big heart. 😍♥️
{5.23.18} Carrying L's backpack home on his bike because she didn't want to. (He's getting so good at that bike!) And tonight he got out the last inch of his snow cone from the freezer (that he's been saving) because she hurt her lip and he thought it would help her feel better. I love this sweet boy. He wins best brother award at our house tonight. 🏆
{5.29.18} Coming up on nine years of marriage and we celebrated this weekend. A scavenger hunt in Salt Lake, reading our books up the canyon by a little stream, delicious food all weekend, and so much candy that it looked like an unsupervised child was given $40 to buy whatever they wanted. It was perfect. We aren't fancy, but this celebration is exactly what I needed this weekend. So glad to be part of this team. @puzzlingadventures <--- I would totally recommend this as a great date idea! (And we came in 5th of the top 100!!) And thanks to @jennahaderlie for watching our kidlets for the weekend!
{5.30.18} Kindergarten Graduation today! 🎓🎓🎓Lydia is sad about it, but mostly because she likes her teacher Miss Johnson so very much. It's been a great year for her. But (not so secretly) I'm SO excited for summer! Whoo hoo!
{5.31.18} SUMMER!!! 🕶️👒🍧🍦☀️⛱️♥️ I can't even say how excited I am for summer. Like, sooooo, excited. But to be perfectly honest, these carefree pictures are not really representative of our lives over the past few weeks. Stepping immediately from one project/task/adventure/meeting/responsibility to the next with barely any time to breathe and certainly not enough time to clean my house or go grocery shopping. But even though my house is a disaster and my cupboards are bare - the hour and a half spent at the swimming pool with my overjoyed children was exactly the slow down time I needed. And then today was our annual neighborhood "last day of school ice cream party", put on by our amazing neighbors, and it was just the best. We love living here. I want to remember it all. The mess and the stress AND the ice cream and laughter by the pool. (But I hope my kids just remember the laughter and ice cream.)
