May... I'm going to catch up if it kills me! ;-)

5/8  Will and Owen had an evening of excellence at their school.  Will joined the choir and performed a medley of Broadway hits; it was adorable to watch him participate.  Then the boys took us to their classrooms to share their favorite works of art and writing:

 

5/15-5/18  Matt had a business conference on Amelia Island in Florida and since we had frequent flyer miles and wonderful family and friends willing to take our kids, I joined up with him for the last part of his trip.  I realized as I got to the airport that this was my first time traveling by myself.  I felt so grown-up being alone, getting my rental car and driving to the island... lol.  We had a fabulous, relaxing time.  Dinner the first night was with business associates.  The guy in the third picture was an EFY counselor with Biffy back in college - small world.  Thanks to Jackie, Biffy and my neighbor Twila for keeping an eye on our kiddos!

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

5/22  For pack meeting this month we met at the park and did water rockets... it was a hit!

 

5/24  There's an empty lot in our neighborhood that some boys turned into a "bike park."  Will and Owen have been going down there every spare minute they get.

5/26  First day of swimming this year!  That evening, the boys put on an underwear fashion show as they were getting ready for bed... proving that too much sun CAN make you delirious.

 

 

5/28  Bradley had a 9th grade awards celebration and received high honors for his grades. 

5/29  Bradley got his learner's permit.  Woot Woot!!  And that night, we taught the kids the fine art of making s'mores on the stove top.

 

5/31  Last day of school.  Owen had a kindergarten graduation - yea Owen!!  And we had our traditional "job well done" cake.

 

5/31  Owen's last soccer game of the spring.  

 

 

And we're officially ready for SUMMER!
