The last of May

Again, May was bu-sy. June's looking to be awesome as well already, we have Nana Aldridge and Aunt Sarah and Uncle Leo and Philip coming to visit! Plus Daddy will be on vacation that same time too. Very exciting :)

You can see when we started using this calendar. Good present from Daddy - we are now learning about days of the week! Avy even started pointing to the Wednesdays and telling me "This is when we go to the pool!" by herself. The blue pen might have been a prompt ;)

Since the girls' favorite song recently has been "Wheels on the bus", we took the kids to the library via bus. Uncle Alex went along, for which we were most grateful at the end!

Here we are, taking in the new transportation method! Our bus driver was most helpful and since it was an accessible bus the stroller was no problem.

After the library we walked down to Wendy's and got lunch and frosties.

Here we are waiting for the bus home! It turned out to not be accessible with three very steep stairs to board. Thankfully Alex was there to help hoist the stroller up and down. Definitely a thing to check for any future trips!

Daddy installed a hitch to our van for a bike rack! The girls often play grease monkey with him while he's working on bikes/cars so when I came up for a picture Ellie said "let me lie down first!"

...so she got herself oriented...

...and grabbed her tool to work on the van.

Tape measures man. Handy things!

Another instance of helping Daddy. Momma loves this in theory, but less so when kids roam the house unfettered ;)

May also marks our last month of nannies - much sadness! For Annah's last day we all went to the zoo, and Jessilee joined us for a few hours of fun. Here the girls are spotting penguins!

Getting help drinking from the fountain...

And getting a ride around the zoo.

We also found a cavernous tree that we could hide under with our friends!

Theo ate more strawberries!

Annah and Theo outside the bug house. Not their area of interest ;)

Popsicles for everyone after!

To close out the day, Annah had a special treat: nail polish! The girls each picked out their colors and got sparkles on top.

For Jessilee's last day the girls went to a giant indoor play area with slides, bouncing areas and lots of climbing. Lots of videos in the youtube channel!

Random shot of baby cuteness.

Feeding the babies carrots (not their favorite).
