Sweet Month of May Part 2

We love New Canaan's May Fair at St. Marks. We go every year. There are lots of little rides for the kids. Little itty bitty rides.

Like this mini roller coaster:

My trusty assistant pushing his baby sister:

Mini motorcycles:

Mini trucks:

Peyton was still too little to go on any of the rides but she sure enjoyed hitching a ride on mommy's hip!

Skylar rode on this sweet miniature horse named Caramel - twice!

The Sweetest Skylar's Candy Clips Tea Party

But the sweetest part of May was the first ever Skylar's Candy Clips Tea Party hosted by a friend of mine at her house. She invited all the moms in her moms group and it was quite a success. 15% of the proceeds were donated to the March of Dimes foundation in honor of my cousin who had her first baby at 27 weeks (but doing quite well, thank you). We ended the Tea Party with a raffle from the Skylar's Candy Clips collection and 100% of the money went to March of Dimes as well.

To everyone who was involved in this event, thank you for making it successful. I am hoping to do another Tea Party this fall so stay tuned!

Sweet Month of May Part 1

Sorry for the lack of posts. Here are the reasons why:

It all started with a sweet Mother's Day Tea. With muffins and fruit salad prepared by sweet little 4 year old hands:

They made these muffins in class that day!

And decorated the table for the mommies

So proud!

I know! Adorable, isn't it?

This brought tears to my eyes!

Potted and planted with loving 4 year old hands. Still in bloom in our kitchen!

Then a week later, Skylar had her preschool graduation ceremony:

although we had a little problem participating in the school play...


Peyton loved watching her big sister!

In the meantime, in Deacon's 3's class, there was another play going on:

Where my little monkey was a sea horse...

...and best buddy Andrew was a crab!

Deacon's class had a picnic outside after the festivities:

My beautiful girls!

Hamming it up!

We had Skylar's end of the year picnic the next day:

This is why there has been a lack of posts lately. Part II is still coming. I will be better on the posts in June. I promise.
