MORE of MAY

Nifty Natalie turned SIX near the end of May.  She really wanted a "friend party" and talked about it for the past 11 months.  I've banned her from planning her seven year old birthday party until at least March of 2017.  :)   She had a fun time with her cute, little kindergarten friends.  Kate tagged along too and loved every second!

Scavenger hunt with Kate doing her best to keep up- snow boots on the wrong feet and all

I was able to be a chaperone on Scott's field trip to the zoo.  We had a good day!

The kids have been making some adult like comments lately that have made me smile (and roll my eyes)...

Kate:  I have so many problems.

Scott:  It seems like I clean an area and it's clean and then I come back and it's not clean.

Scott:  Can I sleep in tomorrow?  I've been wanting to sleep in for a long time now, but people keep waking me up.  (STORY OF MY LIFE FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS, SCOTT!  And YOU, Scotty-boy, have been one of the culprits!!:) 

Kate:  I heard the Dakota alert go off.   (our driveway alarm)

Me:  Thanks for telling me.

Kate- That's what I'm here for!

Sprinkler fun!

Jon and my dad whipped out another shed.  Neither wish to quit their day job!;)  

The kindergartners had their annual KINDY 500 on the last day of school. 

Natalie was very excited about this day!  She lost her shoe and took a tumble on lap two.  I was worried that this would put a damper on her excitement.  However, when we got home, and Jon asked her how it went, she genuinely said that it went well and that she thought she won.  :)  In kindergarten, I guess everyone is a winner!:)   

 Natalie let Kate run a lap after the official races were over. 

 Natalie and her wonderful teacher...we will miss her!

Someone is excited to have her sister (and brother) home for the summer!
