Springing into action

 
 
The begining of this week was a bunch of yucky weather. So we brought the wagon in for some make believe fun! HK pretended that her friend Lilly and Jax were joining her on a mission to help Dora. She kept calling Angry byrd, "baby Jax." I sat and giggled for hours watching their adventours unfold.
 



 
 
Hk has odd fashion for Church. I just have to roll with it. Dress with pants and mix matched socks...It works.

 
Growing up I spent the best part of my childhood in my grandfather's garden. I keep trying to give my kids the same gift my grandparents gave me...The joy of watching the earth evolve and grow. I remember my grandfather making me run around his garden and letting me pick fresh veggies. I remember my grandmother chasing me around with mosquito spray. Avon still makes me squimish. Today they threw down multch, smelled flowers and pranced in the mud.
























 
She bathed herself in the sink like a big girl.

 
The warrirors are preparing for a 5k and I needed to be at the park to learn my role. The kids were hilarious. My Jr found a caterpillar.  Bee was all smiles as he ran out his energy. HK was dramatic as always.
 











 
My favorites from today. I love this family of mine. I am truly blessed.

Heat wave!

Well, spring break was not what I had envisoned. I had all these plans for great fun but the sticky fingers got sick. I mean violently sick and we did nothing. Well, they did nothing. I cleaned vomit. Over and over again. We had one solid day of good health during spring break. We squeezed in some cuddles, some arts and crafts, some puzzles, and some pretend photoshoots. There are pictures of cookies too, which may seem super lame but my friend Jill came over and we baked cookies for a unit that lost a lot of their soliders to a freak accident. Sharing our love and support to MarDiv is super important and a chance I feel blessed to have been given. Okay enough of my run on sentences....Picture vomit time!
