Leading up to summer

I feel like the weather here went from a cool Spring to hot Summer overnight.  I am not complaining at all.  I like it hot.  Ok, I will probably complain once it gets to the 90's and you can't step a foot out the door without breaking into a sweat.  But for now we are enjoying the nice hot weather.  The Pool is open and we have enjoyed some swimming days.  

The month of May always seems busy.  Lots of things to wrap up at school, finishing Spring sports and trying to cross as many things off to do lists before summer break.  

We have found a new favorite afternoon snack that all the kids love.  Homemade crepes.  
Favorites are ham and cheese or Nutella

I took all three kids to the dentist at the same time.  I wasn't sure if that was a great idea, but it worked out great.
All of them got to pick a little toy for being cavity free and Evan ended up with this mustache.

Hannah went to Girl Scout Survivor Camp and loved it.  She loves being out there.  They stayed in tents, learned about shelter building and fire making and just had a great time.  I am still amazed that she loves it out there.......if she sees the tiniest Spider at home she starts screaming.


Hannah's troop decided to donate part of their cookie proceeds to Cobblestone Farms, so we went for a visit last week.
We toured the Greenhouse and got to help plant some seeds.  
The girls each also got to harvest a radish.

Evan went on an ice cream Field trip with his teacher.  He was so excited for no nap Friday.

Nora and Evan were looking at his calendar one morning (he has a calendar leading up to summer and he crosses off each day in the mornings).  She came running to me and said "I am done teaching Evan, he is doing good on his calendar".

We were also taking about my upcoming birthday and she said "You are going to be 3 like me"

Friday Favorites

We are counting down the days until Summer Break.  The last few weeks of school are tough.  The weather is nice, the days are longer and it is so hard to get the kids to bed at a decent time.  The pool is open and we are ready to enjoy our summer.

I am looking back on some of my favorites from the last month.  Hard to believe that these pictures were only a few weeks back.  It was cold!
We went to Dogwood Canyon and it was freezing out. My mom was here for a nice visit.


We did the Dogwood Scavenger Hunt this time and it was a lot of fun

We also had a fun delayed Easter Egg Hunt at Matt and Casey's house.
Look at all of those kids.
My mom was here on my dad's birthday, so we went to celebrate it at Shogun's.  We did tell them that we are celebrating somebody's birthday, so we got an ice cream sundae.

We took some pictures on my moms last day here.

The Amazeum had  life size Mousetrap there for a week.  Our kids love that game, so we made sure to visit that.  I took Hannah out of school for a couple of hours to go to one of the morning performances.
Evan was studying the contraption very closely.

Nora looked pretty cute in the Astronaut costume.

We went to Atlanta Bread Company on a Sunday and they have a face painter there.  Look who we found in her book......
And the results from that day....Hannah chose a balloon animal instead and I didn't get a picture of that.
