Last year on May Day, Luke had his First Communion.
It was a busy day, but we still managed to deliver a handful of May Day flowers. It was better than nothing.
This year, I spent a couple hours over lunch time helping at Luke's school, we had a funeral in the afternoon, and Henry had his May Crowning Music Program in the evening.
May Day just wasn't going to happen. The best we could do was surprise a few of our neighbors.
It was sad.
(I thought Henry was going to write "from the jonker boys" on his box, but he took all the credit instead. In all fairness, though, he was the one who wanted to add some fun dip to the May Day surprise!)
Much to the boys excitement, the doorbell rang just after we got home from the funeral!
May Day flower cookies!! Jennifer....love that girl!
Then it rang again!
Dilly Bars and ice cream sandwiches from our neighbors across the street--the ones who got the fun dip!
Then once we got home from Henry's program, the neighbors next door brought us over some still burning hot, homemade egg rolls!! A ton of them!Delicious!
Our doorbell rang one more time tonight, but it was just one of Ben's friends bringing something over that he had asked to borrow. I told him he should have dropped it on the front porch and ran. Instead we shared some of our still hot egg rolls with him!
There's nothing like a good May Day to make you feel loved!
I only wish we could have spread the love a little more today.
I've got high hopes for next year!
