Friday Already?

Dancing w/my littles is one of our
 favorite spontaneous times!

C & E helped me find animals for
 each letter in the alphabet and N helped me cut,
 laminate and place magnets on B's
ABC Animal Magnets

Big A came home smelling like he has been
 hiking, sleeping outside and living with only men for a week...
oh, wait, he has!
Still, I'm so glad to have him home!

Our Big B is on his very 1st baseball team. Go Giants!
And oh man is he cute!
His coach was shocked this is his first year playing.
He has a great arm and is a strong runner!

Day 4 of Spring Break

C's Cookie Experiment
Hypothesis; Cookies with more chips than cookie are delicious!
Procedure: 3X the amount of chocolate chips & 1/3 cookie dough.
Conclusion: Deliciousness that didn't last long!

Individually colored fish glued onto
clothespins make fun afternoon friends!

Quick as a Cricket
Self awareness.
I AM AS.....
Put it all together and you get ME!!

Spring Break is 1/2 Over

C and E were in need of new chapter books.
 so off to the library we went! 

After using our library voices
we needed to use our outside voices!

The newest member to the family... Leon the platypus!
The littles are very into platypuses lately.
 Which deserves  a whole post all in its self!

Spring Break Craft

Recycling the weekly junk mail deals.
We cut the adds into strips and glued
 them onto a silhouettes of  their choosing.
 B chose a truck, E a platypus and C a capital C!

Quiet, Rainy, Monday

Before my parents left today,  E and I
 decided that us 3 Girls should have matching toes!! 

This was the first (gasp, 1st!!) time my mother
 has ever painted her toenails!
Glad we could do it together!
3 generations of matching toes!

                                          

This is how B shopped today.....

Easter Sunday

One of our favorite places to visit when
Grandma and Grandpa come to visit.
Love them!!
(E's photography skills!)  

Many species of birds to see.
Thanks C for bringing your binoculars
 and sharing them so generously.

Best little video EVER! 

My children the actors and J the director! 

Makes me laugh out loud every time I watch it!!

 :D

The real reason for Easter? Jesus!
Quietly watching movies about Jesus' life and resurrection.

Traditional egg coloring...
Trying an alteration this year, shaving foam w/ food coloring.
 Results, not the best, but it sure was fun trying!!

B. Is. Fearless! and not in a good way.
 He jumped right into the pool,
 clothes on and everything,
 before he realized he couldn't swim!!!
So mom got to follow, clothes on and everything!!!

Small-Town Saturday

Annual City Easter Egg Hunt;
lots of kids, lots of eggs,
lots of prizes and lots of fun!!

B was dressed in his baseball gear when
 Grandma and Grandpa pulled up.
He was ready to take them to the ball park and play some ball!

Mom and A
