I guess you can say that we had a busy month. There are a lot of celebrations in May so we had every weekend booked this month. My mom and I enjoyed an evening out at Stacey's boyfriend's sister's social. It was a first to be having a drink and dancing with my sister and her friends while my mom watched! Of course my shoes weren't as high (although I was able to keep mine on) and I didn't bare as much skin but I enjoyed dancing to a few oldies (ie-Backstreets Back-Alright! haha) The next day was Carson's recital which was awesome. We were so proud of him and he played his songs on a grand piano (for the first time) perfectly. The rest of the weekend was spent raking 2 acres of grass. Yes, we're crazy. It was brutal but nice to spend all day outside with the kids, accomplishing something together. I can't wait till they can help! Carson has started soccer on Monday nights and he enjoys it despite his interesting coach who has never seen a a child in his life...poor guy. The parents just sit on the side and snicker as he talks to these 4 year olds like they're 12 and goes into long winded explanations while they kick the ball around the gym aimlessly. One new mom on Monday summed it up when she said "Is this guy for real?" Oh well Carson is excited because he's the oldest and is running circles around the little ones. Most kids his age are in community club soccer but I thought I'd wait till next spring. Mother's Day was nice. We had a busy lunch with Chris's family at Olive Garden which I would have enjoyed had I been alone! Not nice, but tough to eat with the little ones anywhere other than McDonald's! Carson had his first field trip at the museum which was weird for me but Caleb and I kept busy at our last playgroup where we usually get together on Wednesdays when Carson is in school. Last weekend we had a great day at my father in law's 60th birthday party. We had a surprise outdoor BBQ for his family and friends and it went off without a hitch. I was in charge of food and that kept me busy shopping and stuff which was nice to have a little project. My sister in law came from BC and it was also great to watch the kids go nuts playing outside all day. Saving the best news for last, I have a new niece! We were shocked to hear that my sister in law Tanis had a baby girl last week as we all expected it to be a boy! What a great surprise! Her name is Taylor and we're excited to throw her into the mix! Well, tonight we are going to see a movie premiere as a family which is rare that a kids movie comes out. It's called Up and looks great in the commercials. Carson has a "Stay and Play" at his kindergarten on Friday and then we'll see what's up for my birthday weekend. Soon we'll be done preschool and then it will be Carson's birthday and after that we can just enjoy summer! Long time coming!! Here's a bunch of pictures of what we've been up to.
Carson at music class, his recital and at preschool. At my mom's work where she had a petting zoo one day. At my Father in law's party having fun with cousin's. Carson with his new cousin and can you spot Chris and Caleb at the hockey game? If you're not a blogger shoot me off an email to let me know you're reading this so I know someone is looking at it!
