Five on Friday (...Dreaming of Summer)

Happy Friday, friends!  First things first, say a few prayers for my husband today as he undergoes ACL surgery.  Even though he insisted I go to work, I took the day off to be with him before, during, and after his surgery because, well, isn't that what a good wife is supposed to do??

And while we're talking prayer requests...please also say a few for my grandpa.  He's been in the hospital with heart issues since last Saturday.  He's no stranger to heart attacks and he's undergone heart surgery a couple of times prior, but the medication he's on isn't working exactly as his doctors had hoped, so that's always a bit of a concern.  Thanks, friends!

Onto some Friday fun!

Our daycare provider is simply the best!  She takes the kids on quite a few "field trips" and plans such fun activities for them.  Just a few days ago, they released five butterflies after watching them morph from itty bitty caterpillars to chrysalises to full blown butterflies.  Anyway, I decided that would be a fun summer activity for our house, so I just ordered a butterfly garden myself!  You can order the garden alone (with a voucher for the caterpillars once you're ready) or you can order a garden that includes 10 caterpillars (here).  I ordered the first option since we won't be ready for our caterpillars until I'm officially done with work for the summer.  In 15 more school days.  Not that I'm counting or anything.

The circus.  It's in Kansas City for two more days.  We had such a great time on Wednesday night and even Craig and I were super impressed with most of the acts.  Get your tickets here!

It's hard to believe, but our neighborhood pool opens in just four short weeks and I'm already dreaming of all things summer.  Including this swimsuit cover up.  I mean, I don't need a new cover up, but for $14, this one is hard to pass up!

Speaking of summer, have you seen all of the adorable seasonal servewear at Target?  I may or may not have purchased these adorable, plastic ice cream dishes (each with a different color spoon) for the sole purpose of a fun summer-themed photo shoot.

And finally, remember those Old Navy steals I posted about on Monday?  Well, I ordered the v-neck romper and it arrived on Wednesday!!  I'm in love and just itching for summer to arrive so I can wear it 24/7!



Happy Friday and have a happy May Day!

  4. Old Navy has some of the best stuff this year I swear! They used to be so hit or miss but I feel like they're hitting it out of the park this year!
    We have similar butterfly net thingies at my school to teach the kids about the cocoons and whatnot. They love it!
    Hope you have a good weekend!

    I did see the seasonal ice cream dishes at Target just yesterday and wanted to buy them all! I might be doing an ice cream social themed birthday party for my girls and they were calling my name, I may have to go back!

    I am totally ordering that butterfly kit, how fun!!
