May 2025

School ended and camps begun! Mat and I were off for all of May, so there is a sacred period of time when the kids are still in school and we don't have to go in that we try to take advantage of. Lee turned three and Hank turned 7. Mat pressure-washed our driveway/back porch and did a lot of stuff around the house. I organized.

Out of order--Lee turned three! This was her actual birthday. I truly cannot believe she's three.

Finished! We now have a table next to the washer and dryer. We do as much laundry as a small village.

I love her morose pics from school

Jane finally got a new bed. She tears them up so she was on a bed fast. But I relented.

Mat made DEEP FUN of my new organization system. He was like, can't you just look inside and see they are "WORKOUT SHIRTS"?

With Manatee, who apparently (according to Lee, an unreliable narrator at best) told Lee not only how to say "shut your mouth" but how to say it in an appropriate context.

We surprised Hank at school for his birthday--he was quietly excited.

Hank's teeth! I sent it to Mat and he replied, "Thanks, now I can never unsee that"

Pics from Grandparents' Day at ADS

At the Irritable Bao while they boys were still in school

I don't know why I took pics of the kids when they were asleep but, well, I did...

I took Pete's friends to Funtastic one day after tennis. There was a lot of potty humor.

Veena came to visit! There was a downed power line near our house and Hank said, "Is that why that lady came to stay with us? Because she can't be in her house?"

The boys taught her the flip game

Out of order bc from Courtlyn's phone--Hank's actual birthday! I told Courtlyn that I really should have taken the cake out of the plastic and she told me that it was fine because it was "Publix plastic"
