1. Last Friday Nick and I decided to have lunch in early celebration of our 7th wedding anniversary. We thought it would be fun to leave the kids at day-care (pre-paid babysitter), hit up Table 128 (local and awesome) and enjoy a free afternoon. We had a great time and even got all of our flowers and gardening supplies purchased before Nick went home to mow the lawn and I picked up the girls from school.
2. Friday night we planted some flowers (with the help of the girls and the neighbor girl) and then went in for dinner. The weather was so beautiful we had to take advantage and ventured out after dinner to plant the garden (once again with the help of three little ones). So the flower and garden planting I thought we would do on Saturday was all done Friday night! Perfect!
3. Saturday morning we worked in the garage (cleaning it out and putting up some organizers) while the girls played outside. After nap we were back outside to play with the neighbors. Given the beautiful weather we had dinner on the patio and invited the neighbors over for s'mores afterwards. Turns out the neighbors behind us had the same idea. By the end of the night we had countless kids riding toy tractors down the little hill in the backyard and running between yards playing. Ellie even meet a new friend that will be going to kindergarten at the same school as her next year. This new friend was THRILLED to find out there were two other little girls in the neighborhood, as they just moved in in the fall and the neighbors around them have all boys.
4. Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day and our Anniversary. It was pretty low-key (I did laundry and cleaned the house since I spent most of the prior day outside playing). We did go swimming (which the girls loved) and had an amazing dinner. Overall, a pretty perfect weekend.
5. Ellie had her dance dress rehearsal in Ames on Thursday afternoon. We road with the next door neighbors and picked up Hickory Park for dinner after the rehearsal (win-win!). This weekend is the recital.
