Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, and more!

 I absolutely love the month of May.  There are so many fun celebrations to kick off the month, the weather is nice, and spring sports are in full swing.  I can't get over how quickly we became busy.  Dare I say it almost feels like life pre-COVID?

We celebrated May the Fourth by wearing Star Wars shirts, re-organizing the Star Wars Legos we have, and putting on Attack of the Clones.  

Cinco de Mayo is always a big deal in our house.  I actually took the day off of work to be home with Luna.  I cooked my usual spread that we enjoyed, rushed since Evan had guitar and baseball practice.  I made sure to have a Corona or two after we got back home later.  

My school provided lunch for us for Teacher Appreciation Week.  They catered in Slows BBQ from Detroit and got us all a long-sleeve T-shirt repping our school.  I picked the pulled pork and it came with sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and a roll.  Yum!

Friday night the boys had an event for kids at the Huron Valley Humane Society in Ann Arbor.  It was called "Pets and Pajamas".  Essentially, they got to wear their pajamas, bring a sleeping bag and pillow, and hang out for four hours visiting the animals, eating pizza and snacks, and watching Finding Nemo.  They had a blast!  And that means that Scott and I got a night out in Ann Arbor.  We went to Hop Cat for dinner and beers and then we walked to Grizzly Peak to try some beer there too before it was time to go.  

The Farmers Market opened up the 8th so we were excited to get muffins and take Luna for her first time.  She did great!  She loved getting to sniff and say hi to all the other dogs.  The fountain is under construction in the park so we weren't able to sit in our usual spot while we ate our muffins, but it was still a nice visit.  We got some mulch dumped into our truck for the front yard and then it was off to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa at Los Tres Amigos as an early Mother's Day celebration and Evan's baseball game!

Speaking of Mother's Day, my boys spoiled me as usual.  It was a rainy day so we were stuck inside, but they woke me up with breakfast in bed.  They each had made a handmade gift/picture at school.  I read for a little bit then decided to go for a run in the rain.  We spent the afternoon being lazy, watching movies and hanging out.  I picked Buddy's Pizza for dinner in Livonia and we came home to watch Mrs. Doubtfire before going to bed.  It was a fun, lazy day!  I don't get many lazy days on the weekends so it was much appreciated.
