May Recap + June TBR, TBW, and Plans

May was the longest and shortest month EVER. We had June's 3rd birthday party, we went to my grandparents, and we took Finn to his dad's for the Summer.

We had some friends over, we went to The Gas Station (From the OG Texas Chainsaw Massacre), went to Buc-ees, had MORE friends over, had lunch with John's parents, my parents went to Houston for a long weekend so we got to enjoy our time as a family.

In April Indie had broken her arm and we got the cast off in May.

Here are some of my favorite pics of May.

I already have the first week planned.. We're going to..

The library, to see Paddington Bear in theaters, another library, a HUGE splashpad, and then tot box which is an indoor play area for the kids and coffee for the mamas.
