May Days

The boys have been really getting in to board games. Their latest favorite is Pokémon monopoly. Dorothy can't be in the house at the same time, because she will destroy the game. One Sunday, Dorothy and I played in the rain while the boys played inside. We splashed in puddles, and raced leaves down the sidewalk. I loved watching how happy she was splashing around!




Meanwhile, Dave won monopoly, and this is how the boys took it:




Dave is a great partner: He works hard at his job and always helps out at home too. One night, he was on a conference call while cooking dinner.




It's obvious, this is rubbing off on our boys. One Sunday, they wanted to cook and serve us dinner. Lincoln even made us cute menus. They did most of the work themselves, and only ended up with a small burn from the griddle (they didn't think it was hot underneath.). Drake was cracking us up, while plating our food: he would put the bacon on one plate, and then lick his fingers before he put another piece on. Yum yum!!







Dave took the boys to see the Captain Underpants movie, since the boys love the books. He also shares his hobbies with them. Drake was only supposed to watch him hammer one day, hit Dave let him take some turns whacking some metal!




For my birthday, mom wrote in a card that she wanted to have a fun experience with me. We finally made that happen on Saturday. We spent the day riding bikes in Greenville, on the Swamp Rabbit trail. We stopped at a couple farmers markets and went shopping at the outlets on the way home. What a fun day! Dave managed to get the kids to a baptism at the church and a birthday party later that day. I'm pretty sure he feel asleep before me that night!













The kids had a blast pretending to be pirates are our local museum.








Dorothy thought the skunk was so cute, she kissed him through the glass.




Drake had a pediatric ophthalmology appointment, because his eyes have been drifting to the side. The good news is that it is not affecting his vision: the bad news is that it is most likely because he is tired. Now we have to figure out why the heck he is so tired!




Most every day my boys want to play eh the neighbors. The younger boys were running outside like crazy animals, but the older boys were inside reading. I love their personalities!




Memorial Day weekend, the kids slept one night in Hickory. Dave and I watched a movie at 3pm and didn't even eat dinner until 7pm, what rebels!! ThI next day we went out to eat with my parents at our favorite Thai restaurant. Lincoln was all about the noodles.




One more day of school, until I get my babies back for a while!!
