May Little Things

May ended up being another full month spent in quarantine.   Things started slowly opening up by the middle/end of the month, but school was closed through the end of the year and Shawn and I were both still working from home full time.  Here are all the things we were up to this month.

We kicked off the month with Mother's Day.  The kids made the box that my present went into.  We went over to Kevin and Julie's house to celebrate Mother's Day.  It was the first time we had seen my parents in a couple of months.

Shawn built some shelves for the wall in the kitchen.

Emily continued all her soccer workouts.  By the end of the month, small group practices were able to start back up.  Em was excited to get to see her friends again and get out of the house!

Shawn took Evan fishing over at the catch and release pond in the park by our house.

Evan had been asking to use Shawn's dremel, so he cut a fish out of some wood and let Evan go to town on it.

Emily was finally able to get a haircut.  I think it had been a year since she last had her hair cut.  She cut off a ton.

Em got super creative with chalk and drew lots of pictures on the sidewalk.

We went over to Kevin and Julie's for dinner one night.  Em and Natty made up a haunted house and got into character.

Shawn took Evan camping at Turner Falls in OK.  Evan had a blast.  Em was pretty jealous that it was a boys only camping trip.

While Evan was camping, Emily had her friend Grace sleep over.  I took them down to the creek by our house to play.  It's a favorite spot for our kids.
