MAY DAY
One tradition that Kevin's mom did with her children was celebrate May Day. On May 1st they would decorate baskets of flowers and put them on people's door knobs secretly. I thought it was a cute little tradition so we are keeping it alive.
During the day we decorated some water bottles and strung ribbon through them (so we could hang them on our neighbors doors) and then we filled them with water and fresh flowers. Avery and Boston decorated pictured and wrote "Happy May Day! Love, your secret friend".
Normally you leave the flowers on your neighbor's door in the early morning, but we waited for Kevin to get home so we could deliver them together. We picked four of our elderly neighbors, hoping they would remember this long lost tradition. Avery and Boston had a ball.! They giggled with excitement as we ran and hid from our neighbors. Kevin and I felt like we were kids again, afraid we were going to get caught. We had a great time.
Thanks for the fun activity Pat!

That is really a cute idea!
Amy your kids are so beautiful! I cant get over how much Avery looks just like you! Are you going to be having anymore children...you know how our families are...BIG families. hehe.
Hmmmm... this begs the question... were those flowers you were leaving on people's doorsteps back when you and Kevin were afraid to get caught?
