The first weekend in May Jayne and I got to go to a Mother-Daughter Princess Tea. I loved getting some one-on-one time with my sweet girl. Jayne loved the crafts and dressing up!
New England spring is amazing! It iss short but oh so sweet, and worth the wait! Everything is so green and vibrant. This is a row of bushes in right in our little community. Nothing to look at during the winter but so beautiful in the spring/summer! We're finding beautiful flowers everywhere we look these days.
Traditional Mothers Day picture with my two girls - so grateful to be their momma!
Elsa came to visit the library, and of course we were there :) My two Elsas were so cute and excited to meet her. I love how excited they get, even for the small things.
Like I said, spring is finally here so we've been exploring the local parks. Phil went out of town for work so it was the perfect way to pass the time and to wear out the girls.
Elle has recently loved playing peek-a-boo at the library with "da sheeeeeeep". Her little grin is perfection!
Like I said, with Phil gone (and crazy warm weather all of a sudden) we got creative with our time. One day we went to Bass Pro Shops, or "the fish store" as Jayne likes to call it, to explore. It was perfect, air conditioned and we spent a good chunk of time there. The girls loved exploring and Jayne especially like following all the animal tracks around the store. She was really good at figuring out where they went, even when they'd go under displays/store items and come out the other side. It was a great way to get out of the house!

| The girls would go in tents/camping beds at the store and tell me, "Mom, we just want to go camping. Can we go camping?" |
I brought some lunch and we ended our visit eating it in the cafe area. We'll definitely be back!
-One day while Phil was gone we ventured out to Chick-fil-A. Oh how we've missed that place! The closest one to us is about 40 min away, but it was worth it. Its Jayne's favorite restaurant - they are much more conveniently located in Utah, where it became her fave - so she was extra excited.
-The second picture is Jayne's hair after naptime...remember I said we had a crazy heat wave? Well that and the humidity made for some pretty curls!
-The last photo is Jayne with her "present" from daddy's trip. Its an advertisement for endometriosis treatment but its like a little tablet that plays 3 different case studies and explains the patients options etc. Jayne loves it and watches it continually. Its hilarious!
Another day with out dad - this time at Ward's Berry Farm. Its mostly just a green house at this time of year, but they had some fun swings and a slide out back, plus we got to go in the barn and see a few animals. Its just so nice to finally be in Massachusetts and feel like we want to be outside! We decided that we needed to bring daddy back with us when he gets home.
Our little playgroup ended the year at the zoo. I didn't get any pictures of us with our friends but snapped a few of our cuties. Looking back I'm realizing we explored so much this month! It was a nice little zoo, perfect for the kids. Near the end of our visit we figured out the water fountains had been turned on so the girls had fun getting wet before heading to the car.
Once dad came home, we headed back to Ward's Berry Farm. We actually fed the animals this time, climbed on the tractor tires and enjoyed a nice, farm fresh smoothie - a perfect Memorial Day! There were baby lambs that were adorable, and also a crazy goat named Remy. He was hilarious and keep baa-ing and begging for food. We had to keep a close eye on him :)

We are so loving the spring and learning about the area we live in. There is so much to do, wherever you live, you just have to find it. Having these two adorable explorers with me makes it all that much more fun!
