Day 88/365 ~ 2012

Crafting on the floor.
Every day you can find a child here on the floor with the craft bin out.  (Most often, Matthew).
It is usually littered with markers and scraps of paper and kids.
It's both annoying (this is the walkway to the kitchen) and makes me happy (love seeing them being creative) all that the same time.

Day 87/365 ~ 2012

Spring has sprung!  The plants are starting to bloom!  I took the Bug outside to see the flowers emerging from their rest and she had fun exploring the yard looking for new growth.



My happy girl.



And my 4 year old, who when she gets upset will stop off.
Stomp. Stomp. Stomp.

Andrew lost another tooth!
3 in a row are missing ~ giving him that great toothless smile.
Andrew is such a cute & lovable age right now.

Day 85/365~2012

Love how Katie is admiring Michelle. :)

A delicious french toast & fritata brunch at Mike & Michelle's house for my birthday!
Oreo, Vanilla, Red Velvet & "Princess" cupcakes.
An afternoon matinee with Michelle (The Hunger Games!)
A great conclusion to my month long birthday celebration.  :)

(Photos taken on 3/25)

The sunshine beckoned the bug out for a stroll.



I think "Sparkle Chandelier"  (her stuffed pony) enjoyed her ride.

Day 83/365 ~ 2012

We were so happy to host Shannon & Ryan's family to celebrate Ryan's great new job.
We hope this is a wonderful new chapter in their life.
Daube Provencal, french bread and green salad for dinner.
We enjoyed visiting while the kids ate pizza, put on jammies and watched "Hop."
At least for a little while.  Then the costumes came out and the fun began.

Day 82/365 ~2012

While the calendar says it's officially spring, the weather certainly isn't acting like it.
This was the view from my bedroom window the morning of the 3rd day of spring.
