What a great tradition. Kids making little baskets of goodies, leaving them on their friend's doorstep, ringing the doorbell, and then running like crazy so no one sees who gave them the May Day basket. So silly, and yet, so much fun.
Isabella's teacher had told them about the "May Day fairies", so I thought it would be fun for the 'fairies' to leave a little something for the girls at home. (Favorite cousin) Heather told me about these way cute dresses with matching doll dresses, so I found a set for Iz and for Lisi. And the dresses are the perfect size for their American Girl dolls from Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Bill! Lisi took her doll EVERYWHERE with her today. She was quite a show stopper:) And it was so cute to see Iz carefully put her doll on the swing next to her and give her a little 'push' before she went swinging herself.
The 3rd picture is of the girls 'dashing' away from our neighbor's house.
And the last pix is of Lisi and Colin rolling down the hill in front of our house this morning. I encourage you to double click on that picture to see it enlarged, and the pure joy on their faces:)
It was another good day to be a Mom.

I was just commenting on a friend's blog about May Day, and totally forgot to share this incident:
Isabella was running across our neighbor's yard to leave a basket-o-goodies, tripped, poured the contents of the basket across the yard (popcorn, m&m's), picked up what she could (popcorn, m&m's, mulch, dirt) put it all back IN the basket, and left it on the front porch. Nice. Thankfully the family was not home, and I was able to quickly provide a replacement basket...and clean up the rest of the goodies strewn across their front yard. Good Times!
So much fun and sweet memories made. I loved May Day as a kid.
SO sweet! I LOVE the dresses! Precious!
Oh, my gosh the girls are soooo stinkin' cute!!! Emma has the dress that Lisi is wearing but in pink (our signature color) and I LOVE it!!!
I would also like to say that you know you are old when you look at the picture of the kids rolling down the grassy hill and the 1st 2 things that come to mind are 1) Oh, that has to itch! and 2) How are you going to get the grass stains out of their clothes:):):)
Love,
yfc Heather
