some random phone pics...

carter and i went to the library.

i got to read to grace's class!

this puppy was so sad because it was bedtime.

from the way back of the van, this cool guy rocks out to "the church song!"

grace was super excited that she got to pick out her own outfit for spring picture day...she wanted to be the cutest girl!!!

umm...chapstick, anyone?

my dinner date!

grace and john went to the grizzlies game...z bo is her fav!

she got to bake and watch movies and spend the night with mimi

we are going to hang out with some family tonight and eat grace and mimi's cake!  whatcha doin' ?

frozen family fun night

we started our frozen family fun night with this super fun scavenger hunt! (thanks to my sil julie's pin!!!)

the clues were all song lyrics from the movie and since these songs have been playing in our home, car, classroom, and heads for about 3 months now, it was perfect!

i didn't get any pics of the kids hunting because they were running or jumping or spinning or hopping the entire time!  actually that's not exactly true...i did get pics, but they were just blurs and flashes of colors.

at the end of the hunt, we found frozen!!!

so...we made a yummy frozen dessert!

then snacked and watched and sang and laughed and danced throughout the entire movie!

when the movie was over, grace jumped straight up and yelled "best. day. ever!!!"  and carter  got mad because we couldn't watch it again tonight.

spring is in the air...i hope

We have had some pretty nice days lately and it makes losing that hour of sleep worth it.  Maybe.  At least now we get to go outside to play and burn off some energy.

Carter loves looking out the car window at the geese that we drive by everyday and he was excited to finally get up close and personal with some.  He was even more excited to share his cereal with them.

Grace was glad to be out of the house and in the sunshine.

She had a hard time deciding how to enjoy her time outside...swinging or climbing.

The kids took the bikes out for a spin and we found out that Grace's bike is jacked up and Carter learned how to ride. 

Look at him go!

CRASH!!!  He totally did this on purpose.  He's a bit dramatic.

It looks like he's a bit proud too!

We had a reading picnic.

This is what she looks like most of the time now.  She is loving reading!

She surprises me daily with how well she is doing!

So...what are you doing with an extra hour of sunlight?

InstaFriday

it's been way too long since i've posted anything and i keep saying that way more than i want, but that's just how life is going right now.  anyway...here are some pics from the past couple of weeks.

 we had a dress up kinda day

john surprised me with my favorite flowers just because.

love these two!

he has not been good at going to bed at night.  he stays up way later than i would like, but he is sleeping through the night and not crawling in bed with me!

i kicked a little bit of booty!

we finally had a snow day or ice day or three!!!  and, i celebrated with an extra mountain dew...i really wanted doughnuts though!

then we played stood in the snow/ice.  it was cold.

then we came inside and painted.

the next day, we painted some more.

just because i'd been out of school for three days didn't mean that i didn't have school work to do...grace was the teacher.

if you give a mouse a cookie...

and...now it is spring break, baby!!!

maybe, i'll find some time this week to catch up on a couple of posts.  maybe.
