End of May Update

Sometimes after gymnastics on Fridays, we take McCall with us on little adventures.  This particular friday was a trip to McDonalds play place and a Trike Theater production of Chicken Run.  Super duper fun!

iPad time is at obsession level right now.  They watch these kid youtube videos of people opening toys and easter eggs with candy in them...It's very weird.  You can only see the hands and hear them talking.
New fancy dress-up clothes for Nana's house!  This was Nana's bday present to Syd, but so far, Syd won't wear any of them because they all look too itchy.  She can be very frustrating.  Millie feels like a queen though!
Bday party for Maddie - superheroes of course
JKK's boys' trip was to The Preakness!  I had major FOMO.
Bday party for Tater Tot included water gun fight!
we often find Millie laying down with Jasper and loving on him
Guess who's baaaaaack?!
King Kyle and his dinosaur dance moves!
when we go to the pool, they get to ride in the back
our backyard view is so peaceful!
Remember when Syd was a week old and a tornado came?!
Last week of school!  Going to miss this
Millie waltzed out of school wearing these one day.  I have no idea where she got them.  She said someone at school gave them to her.  I hope she keeps this confidence forever!
family pool time with the 'skis!


we love eating dinner at the pool in the summertime!
Mer-man sighting! Kyle was majorly unimpressed with the mermaid tails
living the dream

Aunt Miiiiiidge.  Millie told someone recently that Kyle was her cousin. ;)  Made me smile.
could he be any lazier?!
cute cute cute
Midge is so fancy
Two days left of school!  This was rainbow party day!!  They've had a color party every month, and the last month they celebrate them all.  Syd was excited because rainbows are her favorite!
I was in charge of bringing a game - thank goodness Midge was here to help me execute it!
Video: Syd and the rainbow punch game
last party of the year!
Such a wonderful year with Mrs. Hanna.  Syd has gained confidence and learned so much!

special guest at her party
After the party, Midge and I went on a little afternoon date: Crystal Bridges and then out for some gluten free dessert ;)  
I love a good comparison!  You can tell she's grown!  
The last day of school was field day, so they were outside a lot.  It was hot!
the snow cone truck came!
those free-hand numbers are awesome, Syd!

pretty sure she has never used just one color for a picture - it's her signature style
Millie drew this awesome picture of a girl and wanted to send it to Papa Sanders for his bulletin board 
silly millie
Last day of Girl Scout Daisy meetings - party at Chuck E Cheese!!
a little dancing
Syd has really mastered the game that takes your picture.  I want to blow this up poster size.
Mills earned so many badges this year!  Proud of her.  And here she's showing off her finished wind chimes (and her tan).
Every morning, first thing, the kitties get a few kitty treats.  They don't let you forget.
living her best life
Ice cream truck loot!
silly sisters
the heat and the sugar has made some of us a bit bonkers
I don't know why I take so many pictures of Jasper.  He just cracks me up.  He is not ashamed to let it all hang out and be his true self.
comfy?  people watching?
We've already spent a considerable amount of time at the neighborhood pool.  It's so hot, there's nothing else to do!
Memorial Day weekend, we finally got to enjoy Heath and Amanda's new pool!  It. Was. AWESOME.
Beckham can now do a back flip off the diving board, which shocks no one.
Millie has been working on diving
And it was a big deal that Syd went off the diving board and down the slide!  She's getting braver.  Almost time for swim lessons, little lady!
It was a good day.  Sidenote: Blankie is still at her side every night
Remember this Memorial Day weekend from long ago?  6 years ago - Wish I could go back for a day to snuggle those cheeks!
