May Happenings

 Claire-Bear loves jam.  In fact, she often asks for a jelly sandwich with no peanut butter, the exact opposite from Stella, who doesn't like the jam/jelly at all!  When our rhubarb shot up Claire was excited to make some strawberry-rhubarb jam with me.  We use the jello short cut method and it's yummy!

Our girls just love Shopkins.  They aren't always the best at keeping tack of their collection, but at times they are the only things they want to play with.  One morning before school Claire snuck this little "Hailey Blow-Dryer" into her backpack after I told her no Shopkins at school.  On the way to school I called her out on it, expecting this to cause a melt-down.  She reluctantly handed it over when we arrived at school and I was so proud of her for making the right choice after trying to be sneaky!










We bought some plants for our garden at the green house down the road and they have free train rides for the kiddos.  This was a fun little visit for the girls.  They also had lots of fun planting our garden beds too.  Hopefully we'll have some healthy vegetables to snack on this summer!


Claire-Bear fell on the sidewalk on the way home from the sitter's one afternoon.  Stella was so sweet.  She's such a mother hen - she helped clean up Claire's cut and put band-aids on her bruised up knees.



We love visiting our local restaurant for dinner, The Riverview.  Thursday wing night is a family favorite!  We can't visit without taking a peak at the water (and usually a photo)!















Mom left work early to kick off Memorial Day Weekend and we headed out to play a family round of golf.  The girls were bored (and hot) by hole #5 but we all had a fun time!













On Saturday we headed to Burlington for an AAU tournament.  While daddy was at the gym the girls and I visited North Beach and met up with Caroline, Caleb, and Esme.  It was so much fun!












Sunday we headed over to the St. Michael's College campus where the games were being held.  The girls weren't too interested in watching the games so we stayed busy out on the lawn instead!

Daddy taught the girls how to play catch with velcro mitts which they thought was pretty cool!
