May always seems to sneak up on us and is jam packed with activity as we head toward the school finish line. Friday started out all the craziness with Field Day at the elementary school. Jacob and I went for the morning to cheer on Tuttle and Maggie in their events.
The younger grades had their ribbon events in the morning, so Maggie competed in the three-legged race and the tug-of-war with her class. Although she pulled with all her might, the other GI class was just a little stronger. I did not think Maggie would care, but she got upset over the loss. Luckily a Lunchable and the promise of an air-conditioned classroom quickly made her forget.
Tuttle's class was all over the place participating in different team events like soccer and handball, so I did not get to watch him in his individual events before Jacob's nap. He was thrilled to let me know that his class won the 2nd grade tug-of-war trophy!
Our sweet friends invited us over after school for a pool party. All three kids loved it, and Maggie got even more confident in the water swimming with all the little sisters. Jacob was occupied with all the snacks. :)
After another intense soccer game on Saturday morning, we drove to Madison to celebrate Granddaddy's birthday. We spent most of our time outside because the weather was GORGEOUS. To the point that we had to peel ourselves off the front porch last Sunday afternoon to return to real life. I could not get enough of watching all the cousins run around the backyard. There is nothing better than a naked baby in the country!
I could not resist snapping a few spring pictures.
We loved celebrating Granddaddy and spending time with family. Everyone feels recharged to tackle another week of school and work!
