Katie celebrated May Day at her school by dancing around the may pole. The next day they had a butterfly chapel and released the butterflies that had been caterpillars all year in the classroom. Then there was lots of silliness around the house including playing with the water table, making funny faces, running races, making a homemade cast for a booboo, and lots of arts and crafts projects including making candles for Katie's teachers.
Over Memorial Day weekend we went to the concert at the US Capital for the annual concert with the National Symphony Orchestra. This year's performers were Natalie Cole, Trace Adkins, Doughtry, and one of the American Idol ladies. We went to the rehearsal night like we usually do because it's easier to manage but this year it had an extra benefit -- they ended up canceling the real performance the following night because of bad storms (which didn't seem that bad).
Lots of photos are below from the month of May. More are here.

Peter is at the maypole and ready for May Day to begin.

Guys night

Silly guys

Guys night takes a turn for the worse. Where are the girls?!?

Fun with measuring cups



Peter is ready for Mardi Gras... a few months too late.

Going for a run with Daddy

He had fun along the way touching the ivy with his foot.

But Daddy ran too slow to keep Peter interested and the inevitable happened.

Katie made a homemade cast for one of her booboos.

Peter put a french fry in the spinner-thing which tormented poor Rusty who wasn't sure how to get it.

Peter loves sitting at the little table.

Watching a video on the iPad with Mommy.

Giving his sister a hug/tackling her.
