some random moments

Grace worked on her biggest piece of art, so far in her life.  Also, she's an artist.  I know this because she tells me at least once a day.


My life right now...Legos for days!


These three had fun together at dinner.


They looked up beach condos for our summer vacay.  Their must haves:  bunk beds, a pool, and colorful fish decor.


I know this is a bit dramatic, but I said good-bye to a favorite family of mine...the Bravermans.  I was totally not prepared for that goodbye.  Actually, I'm still not over it.  Don't ask me about it.  I will cry.  Ask John.  I will cry.


Carter had an abnormally cooperative day.  He even snuggled with me!


She doesn't need my help anymore.  She worked on her Valentine's all by herself.  I did nothing!


I painted.


And, I organized my iPhone.


Carter Man had to get his tooth pulled.  He fell and hit it on a brick step.  He'll be the toothless wonder...for the next 2+ years.


Weird!  Grace is reading bedtime stories now.
(Where are my babies?!?)


She also reads cookbooks.


And, he has math homework.
(Seriously, where are my babies?!?)


We had a fun night at the Grizzlies game!  We also ate yummy Huey's before the game!


Parent conference night went well...for me.  Hopefully, the mommas and daddies felt the same!


Go Fish "structions":
1.  Be nice.
2.  Be kind.
3.  Don't be grumpy even if you lose or win.

party people

grace and carter were super excited to celebrate their birthdays especially since their party included pjs and cereal!!!


when the guests arrived, they began making their fruit loop necklaces.





next, we tossed pancakes.  there were lots of giggles during this game.  carter and pierce were chunking the pancakes at each other.  andrew kept trying to eat his and then turned it into a hat.  allie had to dodge them.  pancakes landed in lots of unusual places.








the kids enjoyed lots of yummy breakfast foods...cereal, donuts, pancakes, and fruit.  mmm!!!



before our friends left, we played one last game...


this may have been the most entertaining!


we loved having friends and family over to celebrate!!!

it's party time!!!
we celebrated both grace's and carter's birthday with a pajama party!  our theme was "rise & shine."  we decorated with sunshine-y colors, ate breakfast foods, and wore our jammies (of course).
