To say I’m behind is an understatement! Today is July 1st and I am trying to catch up back to our April posts! Yikes!! But here goes at my attempt to recollect our weeks of spring.  It’s rather fitting, actually, as spring is often so busy with work and long days that all of a sudden it is summer.

This weekend we celebrated Greta’s 3rd birthday at Franklin Park Conservatory (well, the family did – I got stuck at work and arrived just before it was time to leave 🙁 ). It was a really warm afternoon and the kiddos had fun. Afterwards we headed back to the Bethune’s for dinner, cake, and presents. The theme this year was butterflies, can you tell? Kevin has a lot more photos on his phone, so I’ll have to add more here once I get them from him 🙂

Finn had fun during the week this week too with science experiments, a visit to Franklin Park Conservatory with Debbie, a trip to Graeter’s (with Lily!), and playing outside.  He’s an awesome helper in the garden. One afternoon he wanted to water the plants, so he grabbed his watering can, moved a chair over to the kitchen sink, filled it up, and went out to water the plants. Take note that he’s fully prepared with his gardening gloves and hat 🙂  He’s loving his “new” helmets from the Bethune’s!

Kevin and Finn devised a nice paper funnel to plant some bean seeds in our mason jar.  It worked really well – we will see how our little beans grow. Our other seedlings are off to a good start, just a week or so after planting.  Finn and Daddy also built a nice Lincoln Log house. Oh, and some fun with lip balm! Bunny, Dog Dog, and Doggie blanket are staples around here 🙂  And this week Sarah asked me to go to a fundraiser for an organization started by one of her friends. It was held at Dock580, where Kevin and I were married, so it was a bit nostalgic being there. I don’t think we’ve been back since our wedding. Sarah and I took a selfie of ourselves on the lawn where our wedding tent was. 

And once again, Google put together a pretty good summary of our week!
