A Bunch of Banta's: May 2011

May was a HOT month!

We spent a lot of time inside playing games, reading books, dressing up and finding fun indoor activities to occupy our time and get us tired. On almost any given day,

if you asked how I was, my response was:

"I am hot, fat and slow!" I was so ready to meet this little guy.

I was counting down the days! May 31 could not come fast enough.
My nesting is in full force and the "to do list" is slowly coming to an end.

When Ryan got home you would find him and the kids

outside running, swinging and being silly. It was just too hot for this pregnant mamma to be outside. I was terrible about pulling

out the camera this month. But when I did,
our kids were almost always in mix matched clothes
and tussled hair from naps. But hey- I took pictures.

Swing time!

Annabel LOVES the swing and loves to go high!

More...Higher

Mother's Day:

You could say that we skipped it.

3 out of the 4 of us were cursed with the stomach bug. It was TERRIBLE!

William was the only one who did not catch it.

William was so bummed not to be able to make me breakfast in bed.

He really stepped up and showered us all with love and care.
He brought us water, crackers, unloading the dish washer and took wonderful care of his family!
He is getting so big and mature!

We were in BAD shape!

Somehow, we did not get the memo that Mom AND Dad

can not be sick at the same time. Seriously, it was terrible.

Let's put it this way, I did 17 loads of laundry once I was back on my feet.
