Memorial Day Weekend

We started the long weekend off right. Mike, the girls and I headed to the Farmers Market at Village Pointe. We scored some yummy spinach, salsa, and tomatoes. Mike is set to make bruscheta for the Memorial day BBQ, and the tomatoes look fantastic. Darby and I are excited to try the spinach out in a nice big green monster in the morning.
We spent a lot of time outdoors, and even though Darby was sad the neighbor girls were away I would never figure it out, because Corgan and her had a ball.

Popsicle breaks on the deck are always a favorite this time of year..



And all survived Corgan's first try at the slip and slide.






I can't wait to see what the rest of the long weekend has in store for us!

First recital!

Well I survived, and Darby had a blast. Saturday May 8th was Darby's first dance recital. She LOVED it, so I think it will be the first of many for me. I felt totally out of my element and it was a really tough few days. I am not used to putting makeup on my 5 year old, or curling her hair. It was tough stuff! It was wonderful to see how excited she was, and my younger sister was able to come into town to surprise her. Darby was so excited Kristin was in town, she is still talking about it. I was also surprised Corgan did SUCH a good job sitting still and watching the performance.

Munchies with Mommy!

For Mother's day I was able to attend Munchies with Mommy at Darby's school. We had a wonderful morning where we shared snacks, painted a pot together, and Darby recited poetry and sang songs. The drive back to work was a tough one as I realized I think it is the last Mother's Day I will attend a school "party" with Darby. First grade is right around the corner, and my baby is growing up. Darby and I painted the pot with my favorite color (green) and her favorite (purple) it was a wonderful gift and I adore it. Can't wait to have some free time so we can plant a flower in it together as well!
Corgan made me a wonderful picture frame, and she was so excited to give it to me. I am blessed!
