Finally May!







I love the month of May. We finally get a break from the indoors and indoor cleaning and escape to playing outside and having fun with the neighbors. I complain a lot about my house in the winter. I wish it were bigger. We need to either move or add-on. But come summertime all of the things I love about my house pay off. I love the view from our backyard. I love, love, love our neighbors and hope they never move. My neighbor to the East asked to watch my kids today while I take a two hour break. She is great to me. My neighbor to the West is kind enough to let my kids play for hours almost every day at her house. And her little boy is Jacksons very best friend. It seems that during the winter months I lose touch with my neighbors a bit. But as it gets warmer I find myself spending hours talking with them and love it. I think I need more adult conversations. I also love to see the kids playing in our big backyard and though we still need to finish our play area and pour more concrete, I love it. So, I will go on enjoying our outside until September. I am glad summer is finally here.
