I went back to work last week after playing a stay at home mom for the past 2 months.  One day, hopefully, I won't have to play the role.  Maybe, I will actually be a for real stay at home mom! (praying)  It didn't take long to get back into the swing of things and it wasn't too hard.  After my "practice week" back to work, it is now SPRING BREAK!  Woo-hoo!  Today, we took a little field trip to the library.  Grace, now, has her "bery own libary card."  She has enjoyed going to the library!

She came home with a bag full of books!

Grace wanted me to take her picture with the alligator.

One of the books that Grace picked out was The Jellybeans and the Big Book Bonanza.  It is a really cute book!  A new favorite!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream...

For Ice-Cream!

Grace has been working hard to earn ice-cream. She would get marbles when she completed different jobs and responsibilities.  She has been setting the table, cleaning her room, throwing diapers away, folding towels, and so much more!  She finished filling her marble jar up this morning!

So, we went to get ice-cream after dinner tonight!  She picked Rainbow Sherbet!  She couldn't pass up pink ice-cream!

A Seusstastical Party

We had a little birthday party for the kids to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday!

It was Wednesday...so Grace and Carter dressed WACKY!!!

Our guests were:

Thing 2 (Tripp), Thing 3 (Charlie), & Steph

Thing 1 was at school.

The Cat in the Hat (Lily) & Mimi

First, the kids made their very own Cat in the Hat hats.

Then, we read The Cat in the Hat and did our own tricks, just like The Cat!  The kids' tricks consisted of either jumping or flailing limbs!

Next, we read Green Eggs & Ham and made Green Eggs & Ham for lunch!

Try them! Try them! And you may.

Try them and you may, I say!

Say! I like green eggs & ham!

I do!  I like them, Sam-I-am!

Steph made some yummy 

Thing 1 & Thing 2 cupcakes!

We had to sing "Happy Birthday" first!

To end the party, everyone made their very own funny thing!

What a FUN and FUNNY day!!!
