So.... May has come to an abrupt end. Can you believe all of the rain and snow this month. It is making it really hard to keep up two yards with all of the moisture. Yes, we have two yards now. It kind of makes you envious doesn't it? Our May was very eventful:
At the end of the year the second grade held a readers theatre. Jake did a fantastic job with his fractured fairy tale "Snake and the Three Monkeys." It was a literary masterpiece, trust me.
Torey's class did a wax museum, in which she drew the part of Shirley Temple. I was semi-excited to make her costume as I had been wondering about pettiskirts. I got less and less excited as the sewing commenced, but I do like how it turned out. These babies sell for $100 dollars on-line, and I should have paid it. There is 108 yards of trim on that skirt, and it is so heavy it falls right off her. Her curls were a lot bouncier but had relaxed by the time I took this picture due to the 200 degree temps in her classroom. I sound grouchy, but in all honesty, she did a great job and had a lot of expression.
We moved to our new home on Mother's Day weekend and had a lot of help, so that was nice. Thank you to all who helped. When we got there Jake put this stick in the ground, tied a newspaper bag to the top, and "Claimed this land in the name of the Thompson's." It was very ceremonious. This picture was taken after the rain demolished it, but at one point it was flying in the wind. Taylor had a ball game that day, and while Reed and I were both gone she hit her first ever home run. I cried. I couldn't believe I missed it. She has since hit one more, of which I was a witness, and I cried again because I was so happy. Lots of crying going on...
I got to see my tree peony bloom one last time and it was breathtaking. I will miss my yard and all of the beautiful flowers.
The whole family spoke in Church yesterday. We all spoke on gratitude. Jake went first and softened them up with one of his jokes, and the rest as they say is history....There is still a $1000 finders fee for anyone who brings us a buyer if any of you are still interested. Please let us know!

I seriously miss all our flowers too! It is nice to get that speaking in church ordeal done and it sounds like it was done in a good way. I want to hear more macaroni and cheese stories. Oh and I saw Torey at her wax museum and she was adorable. Hope all is going well.
My hell. $1000!? I'm going to stand out on state street with a for sale sign pointed your way!!
Jake never ceases to bring a smile to my face. Putting up a claiming stick to the Thompson land is adorable. Of course, I'm sure he wouldn't like me describing it as adorable. We still plan on coming to see your new home. Adam is out of town this week but maybe next.
