Happy May Day

What a perfect Thursday...

well it should be...

lots to be thankful for and to do especially since its a fun little treat filled holiday where we get to ring our neighbors door bells and drop off some yummy treats and run home and hope to get there before we get caught.

the kiddos had a blast last year and they had just as much fun this year.

filling up the goodie bags - which i had laying around for just this perfect occasion. sshh... i knew there was a reason i frequently buy random things from pick your plum and very jane, right??? oh dear gotta tell yourself its okay that you don't have a problem. at least i have a stash.

well we had b & q today too so it was fun to have help from b while q took a nap and she has a couple to deliver to her neighbors when she gets home tonite too.

so far we've only made one attempt and they weren't home and our local cousins dropped off some so we got to give them theirs in return.

headed out

returning home

the delivery crew
