Memorial Day Weekend

The boys and I caught wind of a fun opportunity to head to Pittsburgh for Memorial Day weekend.  We joined up with one of our favorite kid stores, the land of nod, on a couple occasions for story hour, dress-up, activities and to support a non-profit organization called milk and bookies! 




The boys had a blast in Shadyside, and found a really cute new choo-choo's at a local kid store.  Our second trip was to a favorite orchard in Wexford, where we picked out our pumpkins last fall.  The boys got to eat a whole sprinkle-covered donut each at Soergels, fed a goat, pet a baby pig, drove a giant yellow monster truck (don't worry, it was wooden) and climbed all over a firetruck!  It was a blast!!



The fun kept coming with a special after dinner walk to get frozen yogurt and an amazing Memorial Day Parade.  Kaleb seriously went crazy with every marching band, swinging his arm like a conductor.  Aiden loved the candy the most, and Kaleb talked about firetrucks the entire rest of the day!  We had a lovely dinner on the grill with Keith and made an extra trip to Home Depot to pick up a ton of flowers and plants for our garden, which we're going to begin prepping this week!



More on planting soon.  Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

Spring time

OUTSIDE.


Keith took the boys fishing last week.  We didn't find any fish in our pond, just tons of frogs, one snake and a couple salamanders

All day, everyday.  It's awesome!  We bike, run around in circles, picnic, playground hop, mow the yard and everything else gets dropped.
This is all wonderful, until I realize we need groceries, I forgot to switch the laundry, dinner ends up being another frittata (EGG PIZZA!!!) and Kaleb inevitability lost his yellow race car and forgot to tell me until he's tucked in for sleep.  Then I'm loosing my mind searching wagons, pockets, the rock garden and gutters.  He always places it in a safe spot, it just takes me awhile to discover where.  He gets so attached to his wheels!


A Super fearless adventurous Aiden

I'm still planning out a garden and some new landscaping.  I think our last potential frost will be this weekend, so next week we'll get serious about accomplishing some outdoor beauty.  The boys are going to be crazy excited to help!

I had a really great Mother's Day and feel so thankful for these little boys who complete me in every possible way.  My journey to motherhood is something I often reflect on.  I wish this love for every person who dreams for it.  I'll never take these two for granted.


The boys picked such a pretty hanging basket for me!

Today we had a very successful dental visit.  Ultimately the boys had the best experience, but Kaleb didn't trust that dentist for a second!  With new toothbrushes and tiny race cars as a reward they'll be asking to go back soon.


Hope you're having a happy week!
