May 2023 (Part 2)

 

“All things seem possible in May” – Edwin Way Teale

PART 1:     May 1 - 14 (linked)

PART 2:     May 15 - 31 (this entry)

May is full of hope!  And new beginnings, beautiful weather, and Oklahoma storms.  She is full of love, and joy, and the bloom of spring with the promise of summer on the horizon.  And for the Weavers, May is ALWAYS busy.  This one takes up 2 entries!  Here is part 2...

We started the week of May 15 with the end n sight - Friday was the last day of school for Edmond Public Schools!  But of course, there were 1,00 other things afoot - including the business of celebrating the end of elementary school or Finn to come!

Took Emma and Lara to Stillwater to get them closer to their early morning flight!

5th grade end of year Awards at Heritage Elementray!

So Proud of Finn!  End of 5th grade!

                             

Girls made it to Costa Rica!

And the rest of us made it to the last day of school!

Finn'a last day of 5th - and Elementary! Jake's last day of 10th, and Britt's last day at Heritage this year.

  

Funn pic of Finn and Dad from the end of year party!

And this is what Jake wanted to do on his last day of school...

End of School just means mire time for ALL THE OTHER THINGS!  We his the ground running with the first basketball tournament that Jake's team played in OKC - which we LOVED!  We had so much fn and saw SO MANY players, coaches, and families that we have met over th years as Jake has played in this area.  We absiutkety loved it!  Adn they all had something to say about Jake's hair... LOL

 

Jake's Big Fall!

 

The girls got matching sister tattoos, then they made it back home

 

Jake, Finn, and Britt came to my Bobb's end of term party with us! 

Lots of Corn hole (Jake BARELY beat me!), girls chasing Finn and Putting him in "jail," food, fun and a generally enjoyable night in Stillwater

Out first lazy, easy Summer nights and weekends had finally arrived!  The ice cream tuck came to the hood, 2v2 at the park, farm eggs from the neighbors, baking cookies, more basketball, and fishing.  Not too shabby!

 

  

After having to stop by the University Health Center to get a tick pulled out of my head on Tuesday, Wednesday I was off to the airport with a final destination of Nashville!  The 2023 Slate Summitt conference would be that week, and I was slated to speak!  (See what I did there?)

Tick removal, anyone?

Still posting the books I read each month...  I am in a neighborhood book club for Hidden Oaks of Guthrie, but I like to read all the books, and many at the same time, so I will indicate which one was for the book club and then the others I decided to tackle as well!

The month of May was so incredibly jam-packed, I didn't get to read everything I wanted to!  But I already have a couple started for Jne - and I know I will get some reading done on my trip!  

"Now That You Mention It" by Kristan Higgins

"The Sound of Gravel" by Ruth Wariner

"What the Wind Knows" by Amy Harmon

"Daisy Jones and the Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid

(No Book Club Choice this month - we are going 5 - 6 weeks between meetings now)

I have read 24 of the 30 books I had set a goal for in 2023.
