Happy Happy Thursday!
Day 113: I had “boy day” on this day. Spending the day with Smith and Nixon is really so much fun! Here we are with our lunch in hand walking to the park. I love how Erika and I prayed and prayed for our first babies (thank you fertility issues) and then we both accidentally had these two boys…God knew exactly what he was doing. Such sweet friends.
Day 114: On this day, I was waiting for my chem peel at the dermatologist office when the nurse came in and said it would be a few minutes…fine by me. Quiet room, good magazine, kids at school, relaxing music…doc, take your time!
Day 115: Is it summer yet??? Our kiddos were gazing at the tennis courts where they have summer tennis camp and anxiously discussing how they can’t wait for it to be summer. Amen.
Day 116: After tee ball, my little man and I did some shopping together. Love this sweet boy!
Day 117: Sunday Funday! After church Kensington and I went to get pedicures :). Erin Condren sent me my new Sunday Funday tee and I had such a fun time wearing it to church with my tweed skirt and denim jacket :).
Day 118: Park weather. The kids play and we chat. Love me some park weather and love me some Erika, Sheaffer and Narci too! And yes, we all had on our sunglasses except for Erika…so she borrowed Sheaffer’s five year old son’s pair ;).

…my aunt always buys my kids the craziest and most fun gifts. Ever. She bought them these bumpers for Christmas and my kids looooove them! The weather was gorgeous on this day, so I let them go out and “bump” for a while. I love their expressions :).
Day 119: Boohoo! I went and registered Kensington for kindergarten…rip my heart out! I know, I know…she’ll be fine. She will love school and she will have the very best time. I know this. It’s still sad though. I really enjoy having my kids at home. Even though they’re in preschool now, kinder is different. It’s the end of an era…an era that I absolutely loved.

On the foodie blog today…
…Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls.
So simple, I bet you have all of the ingredients in your pantry right now.
May is here! I can hardly believe it! This month is going to be HUGE for the Shull family!
We are MOVING! Woohoo! After 15 months in the rent house, our new home is finally finished and we are packing up and moving out.
We also have two little trips planned for this month (crazy timing!), the last month of preschool, swim lessons start, tee ball is in full swing and Kensington is getting ready for her dance recital. It’s all happening at once! Eeks!
Is it June yet?
Tomorrow is Pin-spired! See you then!

All the pics are great today, but that picture of you and Kensington? I love it! And yes… COME! ON! SUMMER!!!!!!!
Mary says
Hope you post lots of pics of your new house! Can't wait to "see" it! Happy moving! 🙂

We had kindergarten roundup a few weeks ago and they had a bus take us all on a ride to the neighborhood beside the school so the kids knew what to expect. Charlie looked so little in the seat and wouldn't look go of his dad's hand. I know he'll be fine, but it will be a rough day come August for me! He's more than excited to start his new school AND take the bus. Whew! Best wishes and many prayers to all of us kinder moms!

Can you do a post about your choice to send Kensington to public vs private and how your faith plays into that? In blog reading it seems like one of your good friends teaches at a pretty awesome Christian school…

those bumpers are hilarious!! Can't wait to check out the strawberry rolls post! Oh yummy! I can not wait for summer either. It's almost here!

I have a book recommendation for you. It would be a great summer read. It's a fiction novel that reveals God's love for us in an amazing way. It's called "Unmending the Veil" by Lisa Heaton. You can get it on Amazon in kindle version or paperback. You won't be able to put it down : )
Thanks for all your posts. I enjoy them.

Love your blog!!! What dermatologist do you use for your peels and micro dermabrasion? I live in the Frisco, Prosper, McKinney area and have yet to find one I just love.

I don't think I'll do an entire post on why we're sending our kids to public school but I'd be happy to answer it here. Yes, one of my BFFs Andrea does teach at this AMAZING private school in our town! But Andrew and I are really happy with the public school system here (one of the main reasons why we live here), so we are going to send our kids there. In our town, both options are really great :).

Can't wait to see pics of the new house!!!
Emily says
Will you be doing a home tour of the new house? I would also love to hear your thoughts on the process of building!

So happy for you that your house is done! How exciting! And Kindergarten, so bittersweet.
Sheri says
Aww. I felt the same way when my kids (now 24 and 27) went off to Kindergarten. Always have hot chocolate chip cookies ready for them after school on the first and last day of school. My kids loved this tradition. (I even packed them cookies for the first day of college each year.)
Also, just know that you have such fun experiences ahead with your two. It may be the end of one era, but it's just the beginning of another exciting one. You will love it!!

Would LOVE to hear about some of your Aunt's other awesome gifts. I am also a creative gift giver, but lately I have been stumped….
