May 10 - 16

 

Monday, May 10 - This little lady has two teeth that are wiggly on the top so she surprised me when she said that this one on the bottom felt like it needed to come out. Sure enough, one little tug and it popped right out! I feel a tooth-losing trend coming on...

Tuesday, May 11 - Blackridge had their teacher appreciation this week and this is the sweet note Zack's teacher gave him to thank him for some things he brought in. My kids have been blessed with good teachers this year to guide them through this uncertain time. 

Wednesday, May 12 - Simon has been working hard to get the back garden ready for the summer. He pulled all of the weeds, made sure the sprinklers worked, raked it all level, and then put down a pre-emergent in hopes that the weeds won't come back too quickly. I love how it looks when it is all fresh and clean!

Thursday, May 13 - For teacher appreciation week, the kids were asked to wear the teacher's favorite color. This is Ricki and some of her classmates wearing Mrs. Crane's favorite color: purple. Elise, Ricki, Jazzy, Kristie Crane, Bridget, Max, & Kadee.

Friday, May 14 - Cute Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim wanted to have a fun adventure with the grandkids (now that we finally can go out in public again). Grandma rented a party table at Allstar at the Valley Fair Mall and it came with an hour of any play for the kids, $10 in arcade play, pizza, and all-you-can-drink drinks. We had such a blast! Thanks grandparents for making this fun memory with us!

Saturday, May 15 - It's my birthday! And what a great birthday it has been!! I got up "early" (for me) and went yard-saling with my mom, dad, and sister. Of course, they bought me a donut and Diet Coke for breakfast! When I came home, Ricki wanted to cuddle and fell fast asleep. While she slept,  went and soaked in the tub to get ready for our evening. We met the McCullough's, Price's, and Mortensen's at Chili's for dinner. What a fun group of people I love! Then later tonight, we met up with Jeremy and Marisa at a new ice cream shop called Brookers for some yummy ice cream. It was a perfect day!! 37 isn't looking too bad!

Sunday, May 16 - More celebrating today! We had my birthday dinner at my parent's house tonight. We had all-day spaghetti, my fave, then Jenni did a fun new dessert. It was strawberry shortcake on glazed donuts! Yummmers! I am one spoiled lady!
