We got a piano!
It was an adventure to get it though. An online auction had just the right piano for us (happily, it ended up being a former piano of our piano teacher, so we knew it was a good one!)
I got a little excited about 'winning' the auction, so I may have inadvertently outbid myself at the last moment. So I payed a few extra dollars, but it was totally worth it in the end.
We fixed up our guest room! It wasn't in time for Aunt Kelsey (Sorry!) but Grammy came and got to enjoy the splendor!
Grammy got to see Sock's 4th Grade play, "The Pied Piper"
Socks played the mayor and had a small solo. It was so fun to watch!
We also got to celebrate Grammy's Birthday with her!
Our days were filled with the usual chaos.
Hair-dos.
Lego-ing. (The iron rod and the Tree of life!)
Dentist visits (like a pro!)
Orchestra concerts
And Haircuts!
Socks loves keeping his hair long. "I just don't like short hair because I like how it feels when I run my fingers through it long." But we reached maximum capacity
ENTER... the $10 haircuts.
Grapes dared the boys to go VERY short for summer. She offered them $10 each!
Of course they took her up on it. (I don't think she thought they would!)
One Sunday, late in May, the kids complained that they were bored. So I told them to make a cake, not thinking they would.
But they did!
And it was also May-May's birthday, so we decorated accordingly and sent her a photo.
Then we ate it.
