Lemonade


Saturday morning was a neighborhood-wide garage sale here where we live. Although we didn't host one at our house, Tim & Pam did so the boys and I went over so Matthew could assist Ava with her lemonade stand. He'd been looking forward to it all week and was really excited to get to help her. And what a great team those two are. They really got into it and sold tons of lemonade. I'm sure it didn't hurt that they were adorable and chasing each other around the tree and playing ring around the rosey in the front yard.
William was doing his best to try on Aunt Pam's hats. And get his hands on all her breakable items for sale.
Once the sale was over the kids got to bust open a pinata that was left over from Nicole's fabulous Cinco de Mayo party last weekend. They were begging all morning to break it open. And break it open they could not. It took Uncle Tim to finish the job, but they didn't care. It was just the two of them and you should have seen them hoarding candy--Ava was gathering it up in her skirt and Matt was piling as much as he could into his arms. It's like they were looking over their shoulders expecting some other horde of children to come and take their stash away. Matthew has no idea that I left half of that candy at Tim & Pam's house. Seriously, we're still working on Easter candy around here. Thanks, Nicole, for the pinata! We ended the morning with a Whataburger lunch that both boys devoured. Then they both slept for hours. A little Mother's Day gift for me!

Pinata success! We'll have to make that a tradition. xoxo
