May is busy. Every May I wonder how we will get through it all. If you don’t have school age kids yet, you might be wondering what I am talking about…so oh just wait. May is December on steroids.
But it’s a good busy. The busy May is full of happy things – end of school parties, field trips, graduations, Spring sports, recitals, concerts, award ceremonies, teacher gifts and recognitions, finalizing Summer plans – vacations and camps and the like.
School is out in exactly nine days and then we can all breathe a bit easier again.
Do you have a crazy May?

Thus, we had a busy week again – the highlight was my dear friend Kristi’s 50th birthday. Her husband threw her a surprise party which was absolutely fantastic! There should be more surprise parties in our lives, yes? Do you like surprises?
Astrid has been potty trained for quite awhile now and I just finally blogged about it. I wasn’t sure if I was even going to mention it because nothing says ‘mom blogger’ like a potty post, you know?
We are trying to figure out how to afford a Disney World Vacation. This was until we had Eloise’s first orthodontic appointment on Thursday and any plans to actually leave our home for a vacation might be tabled until 2024. But that is another post for another time. Seriously, beauty and braces are expensive!!!
I have to find a new Starbucks to visit as Astrid now hit-on the cute Barista with her beautiful beaver story and we can never show our faces(or our beavers) there again.
Do you have anything exciting planned for the weekend? We are going to Valley Fair tomorrow – our first time as a family to an amusement park. I hope someone goes on the big roller coasters with me!!!
Have a great holiday weekend.

Love you zoo shoes.
Have a gorgeous weekend my friend. xo

From Josie:
There’s Tracy! Is that Tracy’s feet?
Speaking of that, we should go to Tracy’s!
Totally agree about May. The last couple of years I’ve been saying that December doesn’t have ANYTHING on May. Great pics!

We should’ve completed that adoption after Kristi’s birthday post …my 25 yr old MSP daughter would LOVE to go on all of those roller coasters with you! I understand the weather this morning is awful there (here in SD, too) so I hope tomorrow dawns sunny and warm for your family to enjoy Valley Fair. It’s a fun place!

I love roller coasters! My husband won’t go with me, but Juliana will. The Beaver story cracked me up! Good luck finding a new location for some coffee. Have a great weekend!

I would totally go on the big coasters with you! I’d bring my beaver because it is beautiful and I love it. In fact, it’s kind of always with me. Oh shit, I have a beaver stalker.

Three things:
1) I want that skirt and those shoes that you’re wearing in you photo collage.
2) Valley Fair? I haven’t heard that name in forever. My family lived on Lake Minnetonka for four years. LOVED Valley Fair!
3) May is CA-RAZY at my place. The Twins and I share a birthday – May 23 – and in addition to all of the other December-on-Steroids stuff, I get to wear the Party Planning Goddess hat for the month. Good times.
It WAS a crazy week! And I have always told people that December has nothing on May, for total busy-ness. Loved the party, loved Astrid singing to me, and I thank you for not asking met to go to VF with you!
