May, Part 1

Well, I am a blogging machine these days, up to twice a month!  We've had a busy couple of weeks, and I know the rest of May will be busy as well with Anna's birthday extravaganza, so I thought I could do a quick update now.  Let's see - Erin had field day at school on the 3rd, which was lots of fun for Mommy and Erin.



 We went to a Trish Miller concert that night and enjoyed the nice evening outside.  We went to Concord over the 4th-5th and got lots of cousin playtime in, plus celebrating Daddy's and Aunt Leslie's birthdays, and Mother's Day with Grandma A.  Mommy got to go out to dinner with her neighbor friends on the 6th, which was a nice little treat.  The 7th was Daddy's birthday, which we celebrated in style at the Mexican restaurant, shopping at the dollar store, and with blondies at home.  Daddy liked his new shirt and tickets to the Durham Bulls baseball game, which he went to on Friday night with his friends Josh and David.



While Daddy was at the baseball game, we girls had Matthew, Caroline, and Joshua come over with their mommy to eat takeout BBQ dinners from Anna's future preschool's fundraiser.  The kids had lots of fun together! Saturday the 11th, we went to the Y, Chick Fil-A for lunch, then strawberry picking at DJs with Oliver, Ike, and some big people.  After THAT, we went to a cookout at Erin's friend Owen's house (classmate from last year) and got to check out his fun new backyard setup.  Her friend Ethan from this year went too, and they had a great time!  We had a fun Mother's Day too at church, getting donuts, errands with Mommy and Erin, then kiddie pool time at Nina and Lily's house.  Mommy also got to trim bushes on her special day (it really was a treat for me), and eat Chinese food for dinner.  It was a great and busy weekend!

We will spend this week preparing for The Princess Party on Saturday.  Anna is heavily involved in all preparations for said party and is quite a micro-manager.  I guess if you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself...or make sure Mommy does it right for you :)
