this is what spring break without kids looks like!

i sprung this girl from school.

then, we met mimi at the theater and watched cinderella and ate popcorn!  it was so sweet!!!

this guy decided he could color like a boss!!!

feeling safe?

she made him a grizzlies bracelet and he waited patiently.

crazy hat night at awana

"listen.  i've got a question.  it's very important.  don't eat the last banana 'cause it's for the 'swoothie'  ok?  it's very important."  also, this is his "duh!" face.

one of my favorite sundays...all the kids dress up and wave palm branches and sing "Hosanna!  Hosanna!  He comes in the name of the LORD!!!"

i had dinner with this dynamic duo.

a hunting we will go

we went on an easter egg hunt with the taylor boys and poppa (mimi, we missed you) at the davies manor plantation.  everyone was very eager to start hunting!  they were craving candy filled eggs. 

after every egg was gathered in baskets and buckets, the candy was emptied from eggs and delivered to tummies.  once every kiddo was full of sugar and sticky from head to toe, we toured the nearly 200 year old manor.  it was pretty neat, but we couldn't stay long because sugary kids.

chicks

soooo...we got some chicks.

and, we all kind of love them.

hopefully, they will survive all the love!

they are just so cute, but they poop.  a lot!

for real, we are all rather fascinated with them.

seriously, too cute!!!

i had grand plans of taking fabulous pictures of our chicks like these below, but that hasn't happened.  i'm kind of terrified of salmonella and did i mention they poop a lot.

hello, spring

during this fantastical spring break (alone...what???), i was able to do some spring cleaning and decorating.  it didn't even take too long because there were NO interruptions!  being home alone is quite the luxury and i'm extremely thankful for it! 

happy st. patrick's day

we hope your day was full of rainbows and blessings!!!

{march}ing along

this month we celebrated dr. seuss' birthday.

grace dressed up like the cat in the hat and is participating in a reading contest at school.  and, she's in it to win it!

we had silly socks day at school and what?  why do my legs look very similar to all of my kindergarteners?  seriously, why?  i think puberty skipped me.

and, of course, we ate green eggs and ham!

grace got a new grown up hairstyle thanks to aunt beth.  i love it and so does she!  she is so cute and old now!!!

spring is in the air!

it has rained so much lately.  when we saw a sort of clear sky, we went out!  even if that meant splashing through puddles!

we made our bellies very happy at belly acres.

his future?

these kiddos love candy.  sugar is the way to these kids' hearts.

the sun!  it was out and bright and beautiful!

rainbow nails and a discussion on why school should be out on st. patrick's day.

i kind of love him.
