Another month has come and gone and I'm still trying to play catch up. I promise there will be more and better posts to come. School is out for the summer and we are wrapping up work on the basement. I say wrapping up, but what I really mean is that we are about to be done with this current project before moving on to the next one. I don't think we will ever be done with the house. My mom had a good way of putting it, "with an old house you never finish it, you basically just keep it going until the next owners take over." Anyway, here are a few snapshots of what we did this month.
Check out this beauty . . . our newest lawn ornament! Only kidding, we had it delivered over the weekend and managed to fill the entire thing up and then some. I had the nerve to throw away an old toy of Finn's that he didn't play with and didn't work and guess what, he spotted it from the porch and almost stroked out. Seriously. It's that little blue "dot" in the bottom left corner of the dumpster.
More beach days with the boys! This never gets old
Birthday drinks at sunset! To ring in the day before my 33rd birthday, we rode bikes down to
the boathouse to sit and watch the sun go down. Not a bad way to celebrate the day before your birthday--only problem was that we had to ride back.
Not too shabby
This is how I celebrated my actual birthday. While Finn was at school, I made myself a picnic and biked to the beach. Heaven.
Homemade mother's day presents are the best (from Finn). From Mark, I like a little more effort :) Which he always puts forth.
Too hot for the hot tub. Yes, this is what you think it is, a dozen 4 year olds chilling in a hot tub. Mark called it preschool jersey shore. It started out as a pool party but was pretty chilly so the kids moved to the hot tub.
Finn has crossed over to the dark side . . . this is what he selected to wear to school one day
Finn has long had this thing where he likes to "snore the cold off of night-night." Basically, he likes snuggling with a cold blanket. He always throws a hissy fit when I take night night out of the dryer because she's hot. This is where I found her one morning after I had taken Finn to school--chilling in the refrigerator. Guess he wanted to speed up the process
The kids participated in a bike-a-thon at school to raise money for their pen-pal in Ghana.
We collected spare change and the kids rode around and around and then got to put all of their money in a big jar to send. Sometimes simple is the best way to go!

We had to divide up the riders because it quickly turned into a roller derby
