May Adventures

I haven't been a great blogger as of late...really I have never been all on top of it, but time for some more random journaling.

The Pinewood Derby:

Clark made a great car that won at least 6 races, but he didn't place in the top three. He was a little disappointed, but had a good time designing and making his car. I don't have a good picture of him and his car - maybe we will take one tomorrow when he gets in his scout uniform again!

Wading Pool:

The warm weather comes and goes, but during a 'hot spell' a couple weeks ago I got a little wading pool that we can have outside in the back yard. Bella LOVES it and asks everyday to go swimming! "I need my swim suit!" "I need water." It has been really nice the last couple of days, but too cold for swimming - she will just play in the empty pool for a while, but it just isn't as much fun as when it is full of cold water to splash in.

Mother's Day:

I had a lovely Mother's Day and Clark and Ryan and Bella were really sweet. On the Friday before Mother's Day Clark had a mother's day program in his class and gave me a really nice card. The kids had learned all sorts of songs that they sang to all the moms. It was really cute. I would post the video, but it was almost 30 minutes long and I don't think anyone would actually watch it except for me.

Memorial Day:

We went on an excursion today to several cemetaries and found the graves of several of our ancestors. I was amazed at the number of people and flowers at all the places we went. Living away from where my ancestors were buried I didn't realize how many people actually went on Memorial Day. It was a fun little hunt today. Clark took pictures of all the head stones and Bella went around picking up flowers that had fallen over, spinning the wind mills and running away from me. I am tired.
