Overnight: Full sentences

Our son is entertaining us by speaking in full sentences this morning.

Other fun words to remember: Banana=mana

2 more nights

2 more nights of not having dinner with my family.
2 more nights of not giving a bath to my playful son.
2 more nights of not saying prayers with my sweet boy.
2 more nights of taking a shower at 11:00pm to get the syrup and coffee off my skin.

It was all worth it to stay at home during the DAY with my son, but I will not miss the time I lost with friends and family for events and fellowship.  :)

wrapping gifts

This morning, we pulled out all of our gifts and wrapped them for birthdays/anniversaries/mother's day/ father's day coming up.

Jackson was thrilled to help with the ribbon and tape.

Perfect wrapping is so overrated. Wrapping accomplished by a 2 year old is way cuter.

On to organizing the Tupperware that Jackson helped me put away. :)

Home

Jackson and I went to see my best friend graduate from college this Friday. We left early on Friday morning and made it in enough time for him to have a 30 minute nap. (5-6 hour drive) His usual nap time runs for 3 hours. That was fun waking him up.
Then, our adventure got even more hilarious. When we arrived, it had been raining on and off. It looked like a Mud Run could be happening at at moment. Jackson decided he wanted to play in the grass. His shoe came off. Then, he stepped in mud. Then, I took both socks off and put the shoes back on. He fell in mud and messed up his pants. I was wearing white pants not knowing it was outside or that it would be raining. So, I made the decision to leave. Did I get to see her walk across the stage? Nah, but I did get a wonderful photo of her as she entered the ceremony. I can laugh about my adventure.
We enjoyed a lovely party at her home afterwards and laughed about the "time at graduation."

Our drive home was longer and had 77 stops, but we arrived home in one piece and no accidents of any kind.

Our next adventure is going to be watching my husband walk across the stage as a Nurse. We are so proud of him! Only 13 days away!!!!

May Day

We enjoyed celebrating May Day at Story Time this morning! My neighbor and her children were there. I am so glad she told us about Story Time. We are really enjoying it! 

We sat front and center and he was excited and focused the entire time. :) We danced around the May Pole and made a little version of a May pole to take home. 

Happy May Day, everyone!
