We didn't celebrate Cinco De Mayo properly this year because of various scheduling conflicts but we were still able to have some fun. May 5th just happened to be the first day this year to reach over 75 degrees, which is our magic number for playing in the water!! Not me, of course, but the kids love it. We got out the hose, and had a little agua fiesta!
Lucy saw a butterfly so she ran to the garage to grab her butterfly net Gramma and Pappa gave her last year. Unfortunately, she got it wet and could no longer use it to catch butterflies. Fortunately, they discovered a butterfly net is a great rainbow-maker.
75 degrees isn't quite warm enough for extended play, so they soon called it a day and headed inside to warm up. Fun times though.Then, on saturday the 7th, two exciting things happened: Gramma and Pappa arrived, and a grandfatherly neighbor called and invited the kids to make bird-houses; something he does every spring with the neighborhood kids.
Here are some pics of the creative process:

Our May was super-fun. We're not finished yet!
