Makes me happy! I really do LOVE it!
And I appreciate it so much more after a long winter and spring that felt like it would never really get here. But alas, it is spring and the sunshine and warmer weather seem to be here to stay.
We have spent as much time outside as possible.
The kids love to look for frogs and tadpoles. We have a little stream that runs behind the house and makes the perfect place to hunt for these creatures! Not my favorite thing to do, but I try to be a good sport because they LOVE it so much! We have a little tank in the backyard where they can keep their frogs for 3 days, then they must be returned to their home. I have given in and broken the 3 day rule for the tadpoles. I mean how else are you going to see them turn into frogs if you put them back in the water after only 3 days. We even had to by food for the little boogers!

Warmer weather also means lots of ice cream!
Ice cream from the ice cream man and our favorite
ice cream shop on the way home from school!
...lunches and afternoon snackes on the porch with momma...
...football and games of catch in the backyard with daddy...

...this new season also means reading glasses for my girl...
This one took me by surprise, although it probably shouldn't have, she had been complaining of headaches for a while after school. I chalked it up to reading on the bus, being tired, you name it, but I was wrong (this doesn't happen often), she needed reading glasses. Katie picked them out herself and she loves them! Adroable!!!

I like to think of May as my own special month.
Not only is my birthday in May, but it is also Mother's Day!
I'll take any excuse to celebrate a special day!
I got to celebrate Mother's Day with Luke's Pre-K class. We had a lovely brunch. Luke was the perfect little host! He brought me a plate of fruit and a scone and carefully gave me a glass of lemonade. It was a special morning with my little man!
He even made me a beautiful vase of flowers!!
I am so thankful for Katie, John, & Luke
"My greatest blessings, call me Mom."
