Our neighbours had their baby - a girl named Josie - and their lawn was decorated with the big stork, flamingos and other caricatures. I'm sorry I missed the photo op!
Lately when Matt is mad at us (or the world) he has taken to hiding under the cushions and having a good cry. It can be big and it can be little. Go figure.
I snuck this one of Drew getting ready for his run. The kids did NOT think he should run with just the red shirt (or the shorts underneath but that wouldn't have been polite to show). He started running in November and is planning to run a 1/2 marathon at the end of May.
We walked for the first time to school since Mitchell was born to pick up the kids after school. I'm feeling really good but hoping not to push it. It was great to be out and about though!
Marlee has been fascinated with all of my old earrings (yes why do I still have them? I only seem to wear the one pair all the time!) Anyway I have two holes in one ear and three in the other and she likes me to wear "special" jewelry all day - like my Christmas or Halloween pins and earrings. This is especially pretty when she has done my hair. Oh I am glamour girl all the way! (Sorry - no photo)
Kristy dropped off some more "cast-offs" for the kids. As you can see they didn't make it past the front door. This box was polly pockets, littlest pet shop and bratz accessories. ALL of the kids were in heaven - before school and after!
It's amazing how a simple box can occupy so much time. Marlee picked this out from the grocery store a few days ago, painted it today and it became a great seat (after some blankets and pillows were added inside). Now if only storage were as easy!
Some dollar store activities are worth their weight in gold. The kids spent a majority of the day playing with the model clay and making marvelous creations.
Happy Easter! He has risen! He has Risen Indeed. Just as He said He would! We went to mom and dad's for dinner. Drew's family joined us and the kids had a hunt outside. Matt was impressed with his loot.
I am a SAHM striving to balance motherhood, child care providing, volunteering, hobbies and more with being the person God intends for me to be. I have a terrible memory and like to scrapbook so for me this blog ia a place to record those details. So know that I may just add in details and adjust them chronologically. That's just me!
