May::
may was a long, hard month... i'm sure the fact that charlottes. was sick the first week of the month, then waking up multiple times in the night for nearly the entire month, made it that much more difficult. it was sort of an arduous finale to her second year with us; celebrating her birthday was that much more wonderful, as was the discovery of three new molars on her second birthday, which helped explain the lack of good sleep!
we got tons of gardening done this month. i worked outside quite a bit while the weather was nice [this week is rainy again!], weeding as much as a nearly-eight-month-pregnant girl can... there's still tons to do, but, it's been fun doing outdoor projects together, tending the flower beds, mulching, etc... marks. built charlottes. a sandbox, which was the hit of her 2nd birthday party [the theme was "breakfast with charlotte!"... it was hilarious to have 10 little ones playing in the sandbox together in their pajamas.]... we built a fire pit, too, and look forward to enjoying that together through the summer...
in addition to what got done below, i finally got around to taking the little fox to the vet, and got his city dog tag updated since our move last july!
also, marks. got me an iphone, which has been a fun companion during all of the may happenings and daily live stuffs... i look forward to sharing some favorite instagram images soon!
here's a rundown of my list::
Personal::
run/walk 4x week
drink 8-10 glasses of water daily
have a sweet treat once a week [and no other time] (don't think i stuck to this as well as i could.)
run the run for water 5k on the 27th (this didn't happen because i missed packet pickup the day before. i really needed that nap after charlottes.' birthday party... but, the registration money went toward a good cause, and i am still going 5k when i exercise, so, there you go.)
plan/execute/host charlottes.’ 2nd birthday party
spray paint bed and do bedding for charlottes.’ “big girl bed”
repaint chest of drawers in dining room
host one art night at my house
take charlottes.’ “smimmin” 1x week (we went swimming OR to the zoo at least once a week, so, i am counting both as fulfilling this goal.)
find/buy a used pack ‘n play
find/buy a used little tikes slide
find/buy little dresser for play kitchen (we decided not to make one and borrowed one instead!)
