May is also referred to as May-cember because it is so busy. It has all the celebrations and activities that wrap up the school year and is a lot of fun. I love celebrating the girls and noting all their accomplishments. They sure are pretty amazing kids! The kids both had their awards ceremonies at school. Aubrey was awarded "most likely to be a math magician!" We got a good laugh out of that one. Both kids made honor roll. Avery presented her TPSP project on Spain which included a research paper, poster, and scrapbook along with a presentation with partners. Aubrey had a great choir performance and both girls earned the Ida Scudder Award in American Heritage Girls. They have worked very hard over the school year both in and out of school and we couldn't be more proud of them.
In May the family spoiled me with a wonderful Mother's day. We went to church, had egg tacos for lunch, then tried a new adventure and made 3 different types of gnocchis (yukon gold, russet, and ricotta cheese). Boy, were they all delicious! We are professionals. I love spending time with the family and making memories. One of my mother's day requests was also to get family photos. I really loved the photos even though we got eaten alive by mosquitos!
At the end of May, Nana and Grandpa visited. The kids had fun shopping, an escape room, spending time together at the movies and playing games, and a cake bake-off. As always, it was a great week. The kids started strength and conditioning camp, which is a great way to get them in shape and start their day with some activity. They also enjoyed a volleyball camp. Avery then went to Indianapolis to compete at FPS Internationals. It was a great experience. Avery got off the plane and less than 12hr later, she and her sister whisked off to church camp for a week. Next up was Victory Camp, another church camp with friends. These kids sure do have a pretty good gig! They have attended a volleyball camp and clinics also this summer and are looking forward to trying out for the volleyball team in 7th grade.
For Father's Day we were happy to have dad home after 2 weeks of travel. We decided to do wood projects. The kids eached picked a craft to work on. Aubrey made a beautiful jewerly box that she painted and Avery worked hard at a hanging shelf with hooks for backpacks and sweatshirts. It was good to have a day together.
June flew by with camps: Strength and conditioning, Crosspoint weeklong sleep over camp, PHS volleyball camp, and Victory Camp. July kicked off with another weeklong sleep over camp. I would say summer has been off to a great start!
