InstaFriday

Once again, here are my phone pics from this week.

These mugs really make me want to like coffee!  Sometimes, I think about faking it.  Ya know, like drinking my Mountain Dew from a coffee cup.

Max the Monkey came home from school with Grace and got to spend the weekend with us...he liked cheese quesadillas from Moe's just as much as my two monkeys!

Grace and Max were excited to go to church together.

After church, we had to stop by the grocery store and get some bananas for our guest.  Grace was determined to get Max some to eat!

We watched the Super Bowl at Mimi and Poppa's...fun, fun, fun!

She was cheering for the Baltimore "Raisins!"

Why do the contents of Grace's purse look just like mine?  She has more money than me though!

Ever since Grace dressed like a 100 year old, she keeps these "glasses" by her bed at night and puts them on first thing in the morning.

Carter is a minivan zombie!

(Only on Wednesday nights while we wait on Grace.)

Carter has been doing ok sleeping and staying in his big boy bed.  He has done even better once he began snuggling with his night light. Ha!  "It's a car truck!"

I had parent teacher conferences and they all went very well.  Thank goodness!

The whole reading thing is really beginning to click with Grace.  Even though, I've watched/taught 100+ kids how to read and it's always exciting, it is WAY more exciting watching your own kid learn to read!  She falls asleep every night reading.

Have a fun weekend!!!

Hey There!

I'm just dropping in to share some phone pics from the last few days.

John and I went out.  Alone.  By ourselves.  Without kids.

We ate dinner and saw Les Mis.  It was so good!  I loved it and I'm trying to figure out how I can go see it again very soon!  The last movie I saw in the theater was Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked over a year ago.  So, this was a pretty exciting night!!!

I got in some extra cuddles from my newly turned 2 year old!

Grace is still loving playing with all her new toys that she got for Christmas.

I had cinnamon toast for breakfast.  It was yummy.  I haven't had it in a long time!

Don't you just love these?  Pom-poms and ruffle ribbon.  Lovely.

Life with a big sister.  Even though he is dressed like a princess, he could NOT keep his eyes off the Tiger game!

I got my new charm in the mail.  So cute!

Grace and I cut out a lot of circles sprinkles for her birthday party.

Just in case you ever wondered what 6 pounds of sprinkles look like...here you go.

After John's hood flew up and cracked the windshield while driving down the interstate with the kids in the car (Thank you, Jesus, for keeping them safe!!!), we thought we had better get a new (to us) car.  Finally.  We've been putting this off for years now. 

We now own a minivan.  I went kicking and screaming, but I knew it was the smartest and most practical choice.  But, I got a rep to protect, ya know?  HA!

We took the van out for a spin.  Grace is soooo excited about our new vehicle.  I believe her exact words were "Wowie Wow Wow!"

We had a little jam session with some cousins!

See ya soon, baboon!
