May Happenings

Pool season is finally here, and Paige had to be the first one to jump in the pool. The water was COLD that day, but she didn't care. 

Pool days are the best days, especially when the pool is functioning properly. Lol! 

 Every spring we usually have a family of ducks or geese over on the golf course. This year it was ducks, and they were so cute. This mama duck has a huge responsibility taking care of these babies and keeping them safe. It amazes me how well animals take care of their babies. 

Paige finally got to go on her first field trip with her kindergarten class. They went to Audubon Park. She said it was kind of fun and kind of boring... lol! Due to COVID, Paige (and a lot of classmates) had never been on a field trip or even rode on a school bus. I'm so glad they can get back to some of these normal activities.

Instead of a party this year, Paige chose a fun day with her friend Tinley. Tinley and Paige met in Pre-K. They exchanged phone numbers toward the end of the year and stayed connected by facetime phone calls all last summer. They started tennis lessons and gymnastics together at the beginning on kindergarten. Even though they don't go to school together, they still manage to stay friends. They have the cutest friendship.

First up on our fun day, they had a nail appointment to get their nails and toe nails painted. This was a first for Paige, and she really enjoyed it. 

 

Looking good and onto our next stop....

Next up, Paige wanted to go to Claire's. They both did a little shopping, and then we headed to lunch. 

Paige loves MOD pizza so that's where we went for lunch. Tinley had never been and loved it. 

Our last stop was the zoo. I was so excited to go and see the new penguin exhibit. It was unfortunately closed due to bird flu. UGH! It's always something these days. 

Tinley is such a character. I get the biggest kick out of her. Unbeknownst to her mom, she stashed red lipstick in her purse. I looked over and she was reapplying it as we were looking at the rhino. 

Paige had to get in on the action as well. Red lipstick at the zoo is a necessity. 

The more they applied the lipstick... the more they started resembling clowns. 

The went on the carousel multiple times. They enjoyed riding in this seat together. I think they applied lipstick the entire time. 

We celebrated Easton's 9th birthday at Skyzone. Paige had never been there so she was really excited to go. That place is a little too chaotic for me, but Paige had a lot of fun. The best part was eating a piece of his awesome birthday cake! 

I worked my very last lunch duty a couple weeks before school ended. I loved seeing Paige during lunch, and she loved having me there. I have a love/hate relationship with lunch duty, but it's good to get a glimpse into her school day.
