May 2015 Wrap-Up!

Looking back at April these are some of the things that happened that felt note-worthy:
  • I ran the star card cart twice this month at South.
  • Bella went to the YMCA pre-teen night twice!
  • Lilly & Bella went to a tea party birthday for Sofia and Olivia.
  • We went as a family to the Fairfield Arts Fair and saw Bella's creations.
  • We dropped off over 700 cookies and 4000 VBS flyers to 5 local schools.
  • Ross had a routine colonoscopy.
  • We switched from Time Warner Cable to Fioptics.
  • Ross took Bella on her field trip to Fernald.
  • I finally got to wear contacts again!
  • For Mother's day I got a homemade purse from Bella and a new Tervis cup that both kids picked out.
  • We had a celebration at Emily and Jason's new house for Mother's Day, Brynna and Jason's birthdays and their housewarming.
  • Lilly got 5 vaccination shots and also had her first dentist visit!
  • We had our first movie night of the year in Village green and we passed out our VBS information.
  • We got a visit from the Kingreys.
  • We began preparations for the yard sale next month.
  • We got our new canopy and a new lawn mower!
  • Lilly had her first Gymnastics class!
  • Bella got her first crown at the dentist.
  • Bella went to Chloe's bowling birthday party.
  • We had a Memorial Day party with the family and celebrated Moe's birthday.
  • Bella went to KI with the Murrays and Nate, then again with the Johnsons.
  • We had our first family trip to Kings Island with Mom, Moe, Nate and Eli. 
  • Bella had her last day of second grade!
  • Sarah came home for good and we went to see Pitch Perfect 2 with Lacey!

Resolution update:
1. Saving Money -We weren't able to save anything this month! In fact we slightly dipped into savings. It was just that kind of month. Hopefully next May we'll see what caught us off guard this month and prepare better. Of course we purchased a new lawn mower and a canopy this month, so those were part of it.

2. Lose 2 pounds a month / Get Healthier - I'm still mostly staying at the same weight. So I need to focus on something that will get me headed in a better direction. 

3. Read 3 books a month - Boo.. not even sure I finished a book this month. I'm working on one for book club, but it's just not grabbing my attention. I need to focus for June.

4. Blog at least once a week - This was better. Some were a few days late, but mostly my blog posts are back to normal weekly posts now.
