What we've been up to

I was looking back through photos from May and realized I had a TON I would like to share.

Because I'm not feeling inspired today, nor do I have much time in the next week to complete lots of separate posts... I'm going to lump them together in a photo overload!

So, without further adieu ... Here's what we've done so far this May!

We've enjoyed getting the grill out more, dining al fresco, and having our first taste of summer via corn-on-the-cob!

We've taken trips to the zoo.

I managed to injure my child in attempt at taking photos while on said zoo trip.

(the camera literally smacked her in the forhead.  Nice.  mother of the year, right here folks!)

We've busted out the flip-flops!

We've played with our "new" dollhouse!  Thank you SOOO much Millmann's, this has been delightful!

We've read books together.  Some current favorites ~ The Very Cranky Bear, and Hickory Dickory Dock!

The girls have had fun playing with "Dandy-flies"

Lila wanted to have curlers put in her hair one night.   I obliged.

Ellie got her first skinned-knees of the season, and it melted my heart watching Lila comfort her and rub her back!

The girls brought home fun little Mother's Day gifts for me and Ryan and I went to a Twin's game on Mother's Day!

We've continued working on our basement.  Doors are done and ready to go up, we put some carpet remanent down so the girls have a place to play, and as of last night we started tiling our bathroom floor!

I've realized my girls are growing up.  How the heck does this happen so fast?

We've played Play-Doh

And lastly, I've taken moments to stop and just appreciate the beauty that is all around me!
