May,June Update 1

We found a bunny who now lives in our yard....pretty sure it likes to visit our veggie garden often =(


Rare chilly May am.... sitting near the garden making flower crowns and jewels!



Playing and Learning while checking out the new 'Animal Grossology' Exhibit at the Hampton Air & Space Museum!



Arriving home and daring Chef Daddy to eat Mexican flavored Larva...he was very willing and able, Lex even had a taste!


What pray tell would our Berning Life be without slimy putty?...this one was of the mood/color changing type.

Luna looking purrfectly, bowtiful!

York River beaching with our friends!


Liv working hard on her sharpie tye-dye master piece!


Hours upon hours of cup stacking and racing competition bought on by buying more cups for Tye dye crafting.


We celebrated Liv's 1/2 (11&1/2) Birthday on May 21st ...she requested cheeseburgers and milkshakes as a celebratory meal. Of coarse we had cupcakes too...and an awesome water fun battle. Sleep-over fun lasted into the wee hours of the next day.

Mother's Day, Anniversary, and ARGH!

This past week the girls and I went to ARGH and shared a cabin with Mel and her kiddos. The weather was just beautiful and we had such a great time hanging out with some of the coolest people we know!!
Cabin 5 was 6 gals and a hill side of ground covering bees....oh my!
Children and Mud...it's magnetism!


Livia and I tried our hand at some sharpie tye dyeing...and now it's all we want to do. I also got to learn some fun shirt alteration techniques.... the end result being a real rocking tee for Lex.
We hiked, picnic ed and played on the Roan Mountains.

Unschooled Zombies dancing the"Thriller"
We danced, Nerfed and talked the nights away!
We had such a great time visiting old friends and making new ones! We can't wait to go back in the Fall!

May 7th, Wilks and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary! He worked most of the day...so the girls and and I went out to breakfast and than Thrifting for the day...Lex bought this cool ARGH inspired skirt and belt. We all went out to dinner that evening.
This morning Lex pick the 1st strawberry and gave it to me for Mother's Day =) I shared it, of course! She also made me a flower crown, bracelet and scepter.

We had a lovely morning tending to the garden....this is a small peach on our peach tree...it's the first year we've seen fruit on it....so exciting! . The outdoor fun extended into the afternoon as we decided to pitch our new tents and play for hours inside them =)





We decided to come in around 5ish and watch "Whisper To Your Heart".....what a wonderful way to spend this day =)
