May Recap

We were still home all of May and to be honest weeks and days sort of just blended together by now.   The girls were still doing schoolwork from home but I for the most part stopped making them work on schoolwork I was teaching and told them they could just focus on what their teachers were assigning.  Every Thursday though we would take turns picking something from National Geographic and cuddle up on the couch and learn something new.  Brooklyn chose to learn about the Bermuda Triangle one day and Kayla chose Amelia Earhart. 

Brooklyn's teacher did a porch drop off of all of her desk items along with an award for her.  She was awarded Guardian of the Galaxy for her kindness and always being a great role model to others.

The girls have kept themselves so entertained through all of this.  Brooklyn wanted to sleep in a fort she built one night.  She had the inside strung with twinkle lights and ready for a cozy night.  She said she made it half way through the night and then climbed back into her bed.

Warm weather means time to cut this cuties hair.  She always wants it short in the Summer months.  Her hair had gotten so long and I was sad to cut it but I'm loving the short hair on her.

Brooklyn was happy to show up to her class zoom meeting because it involved art and she learned how to draw a bird.

The Air Force did a flyover to all of the local hospitals and we were lucky enough to be near one so we got to see the planes from our backyard.

Brooklyn was sad that Kayla got tired of playing calico critters and decided she didn't want to play anymore that day so to cheer her up Kayla made her sister a chocolate milk.

Chips and guacamole with an early cocktail to start off the weekend is a perk of being home all day, everyday.

Lots of reading going on over here still.

Spoiled kitties get to take turns coming outside with us now and then.

May is always one of our busiest months with Mothers day and lots of birthdays.

We celebrated one grandpas birthday on a Saturday

and the other grandpas birthday on Sunday

Whenever we swim these two always come and hang on me and want me to hold them.   It's like I still have little babies that need to be held.

Kayla insisted I hold her just like this for a picture

Had to post Brooklyn in this super cute swimsuit from Justice.  She came out all accessorized and ready for a swim day in Palm Springs.

We love watching The Masked Singer together and for the season finale we gathered around to watch with an appetizer night for dinner.  This is such a fun family show for us.

With the weather getting warmer we take our walks early now or wait until after dinner but we are still making sure we are out and about throughout the week.

I still make sure I get my slow mornings with a cozy blanket and my coffee though

Brooklyn with her creative nail art.  This time it was watermelon themed.

So I've been told that my dining room most likely will look like this until 2021.   Husbands work is not in any hurry to have them back in the office so he'll be working from home for quite awhile.  I'm not the happiest about it but I'm hoping it's not true and they can go back sooner rather than later.

I do love having us all home together though.

May sure was a better month for us than April was.  We were finally able to go out a bit more and enjoyed time with family.  The past 11 weeks are definitely going to be remembered and thank gosh Summer is just about here.  We are definitely ready to get out and hopefully camp and go to new places.
