The Last Week of May

Well, hey there!!

I’m just a smidge behind on my weekly posts….so I am going to try to catch up on them!

This post is about the last week of May.

We had mostly normal things happening, which means I do not have a lot of photos!

But I did take some and I am glad I have them.

Addie and I had been needing some time together, so we went to town together one morning for some shopping and coffee.

It was raining buckets and buckets that day, but we had the BEST time just wandering stores and talking each other’s ears off!

Lane had a birthday gift certificate he wanted to spend, and Tate and Eliza had some saved money they wanted to spend, so we headed to our local Walmart on another rainy day that week to let them shop.

Of course they all chose Legos!

Blake is in charge of Lane’s online STEM class and they spent some time working together on it in the evening that week.

Lane is learning SO much through that class!!

The last week of May was long enough ago that I cannot remember the weather exactly – but I do know that we still today have yet to open our pool for the summer.

We had that one hot week in mid May and ever since then it has been cool!

The Friday before Memorial Day was GORGEOUS though.

We spent the day working inside and outside!

Chad was home all day which was a huge help to me!

Tate and Eliza and I ran and got some garden plants that day to replace the ones that had been ruined by the hail storm.

Friday evening Blake and I and the kids replanted them and also planted all of our strawberries that had arrived in the mail.

It was a fun evening at home instead of a date night!

Do you see the baby radishes in this photo??

One of our tree swings broke that night – and yes someone was on it when it happened.

It was terrible and Addie was hurting for days afterward.

Tate made some sun tea for us.

SO yummy!

We finally went through all of the shells we brought home from Florida and got them in some display jars.

They look SO pretty!!

I suppose a post on this little ole blog wouldn’t be a post without food photos, am I right?

I do love to take photos of our food!!

I have found this NEW LOVE for baking lately and my people are such willing and patient taste testers!

Things are starting to turn out, he, he!

Check out this honey cake!

I am sure you know how great my helpers are too!

Except for this one, just saying.

The weather has been a mix for sure – lots of cool rainy days and then some cool sunny days.

The sunsets never disappoint though!

SO grateful for that kiss from God before bed each night!

May was GOOD.

June has been good so far too.

Stay tuned to hear what we have been up to!

I’m sure you can already guess most of it – we are so predictable that way!

I’ve missed you all and hope you are doing well!!
