Wow! May really did go by quickly! It has been mostly pleasant weather, too, though we are getting our April showers pretty consistently in our May evenings. No problem here; we turn those showers into opportunities!
On the flip side, we have had a few dinners outside to enjoy the late spring. Nothing like home-smoked ribs on the porch, while we watch our neighbors get new shingles delivered to their rooftop via crane.
The hail storm that we had back in April has blossomed into new roofs for nearly every house on our street, even ours. That tap-tap-tap sound will be the sound of our summer, coming from a new direction every few days. We got onto their schedule quickly, but with a two-man crew, it took the roofers five days to finish it. Voila!
Hadley learned how to make paper airplanes during her last week of school, so we had a friendly, family competition in the back yard. Apparently, some planes (or pilots) can be constructed to do backward loops instead of forward arcs... And Dad still throws the farthest.
You know when it gets above 70 with the sun shining, it's water play time!
Owen is a little bitter about his "extra" two weeks of school when Hadley is done. But he is trying to be a good big brother and pull his weight (and hers!) anyway. The countdown to "real summer" is on!
