May Happenings

May is always such a busy month with the end of school, programs, field trips, recitals, etc, etc.  This May didn't disappoint, and for some reason we kept having multiple things on the same night.  These people have got to coordinate!

We started off with a Saturday of craziness.  Sage participated in her first dance competition at Lagoon.  She was so nervous but did a great job and now can't wait to dance for the rest of her life.  At the same time Sage was competing Kate had her dress rehearsal for her choir concert that night.  As soon as Sage was done we raced back home to be able to go to Kate's concert.  Jake of course was out of town for this fun.  Despite the craziness of the day both girls did amazing.  Sage's group got first place and Kate did awesome on her first solo!

Then on Thursday we had double duty again.  Kate had her fourth grade program at the same time as Sage's dance recital.  Jake and I went to Kate's program during the afternoon and then we had to divide and conquer with the grandparents that night.  They both did a fabulous job, of course.  And we had to celebrate with ice cream after.  (In case you think Zack is being neglected he's riding his mountain bike every week in a group and taking guitar lessons)

In between all of these recitals we've been killing ourselves in our yard.  What's new right?  This was the big push to get our grass in.  We had to spread the top soil and get it all ready to hydro seed.  The good news is the grass seed is down, now we just have to cross our fingers that it grows.  The other good news is that this is the main thing we wanted to get done this year so now we can work in the yard for an hour or two instead of days at a time.  Hooray!!

Memorial Day was a great day filled with zero yard work.  It was blissful.  We started out the day run/walking up Memorial Hill.  Good place to go on Memorial Day.  Then we visited cemeteries which I love and Jake tolerates once a year.  We got to go to two different BBQs as well, so it was pretty much a perfect day:)
