Mostly May wrap up

Spring was up and down temperatures all the way through May.  April 23th it was snowing like crazy. 

 April 27th Matthew went to a preschool friend's birthday party and had a blast.

 Then May 2nd it snowed again!  It was hard to start growing anything this spring because it kept freezing.  Last spring we were about 6 weeks ahead, this year about 6 weeks behind, but at least we were getting moisture.

And the video his teacher shot.

 May 4th was supposed to be a rainy day, but it held off and we were able to have sidewalk fun at Auntie's house.

We each drew a tree.

 May 9th was Matthew's spring music concert.

 Glad he loves the camera again!

 Here are the preschoolers performing.  I was the aide for them all year.  I'm going to miss them.

Boy he knows when the camera comes out doesn't he!  It was a great concert.  I wish that I could post the videos of them singing, but it won't let me for some reason.  I should look into it.

 The next day we took off bright and early for Matthew's field trip to the zoo.  Here Matthew is with Meagan, the little girl we walked around with.

 Matthew and Kaylen, the little girl we sat on the bus with.

It was a long but fun day.  I'm glad I took the day off to go.

May 12th was Mother's Day.  My aunt came and we all went to eat with my Grandmom.  I'm glad we did, as it was the last one, even though we didn't know it at the time.  The photo from lunch is in Grandmom's post.  Matthew woke me up with breakfast-in-a-bag he made at school.  It contained a breakfast bar and a tea bag-like coffee packet.  It was great!  I really need to take a photo of the bag, it was really neat.

May 14th was Matthew's snack day and the day they celebrated his birthday.  We decided that I'd make funfetti cupcakes from scratch and decorate them like a flag.  I think they liked them.  Wish I'd gone in.  Matthew certainly was excited.

Since we are in TX for Matthew's birthday, I thought we'd skip the birthday party this year, but Matthew refused, so May 17th we had 5 of his favorite friends (Mordeci, Treyman, Shayn, Jack, and Mitchel) meet him at the park and then we fed them pizza and cupcakes.  I can't believe it but I totally forgot to take 1 SINGLE photo.  But they had a great time.  Best part for Mom?  Phil flew in that day and surprised Matthew.

 May 22nd was the last day of school.  To see how much he grew and changed, go the the 1st day of school.

 Lining up his new cowboys and indians from his party to take the last day of school photo his way.

Ah, that's better!

 The 28th saw us driving through Moore, OK. 

The cars all destroyed and tagged with the x's really got to me.

What a whirlwind of a month!  Glad it's behind us and school is out, but I keep wondering when the summer is going to start being lazy?
