Day 106/365 ~ 2012

"Come on kids, we're going to run some errands!"
Little did they know the back of the van was filled with luggage. Two hours later we pulled into the parking lot of Great Wolf Lodge ~ SURPRISE!!!  And some of their very best friends were there with us!  The kids had a BALL.  My favorite quote was from Andrew after he rode the scariest slide at the park (that I only dared to ride once)....
"The (Howling) Tornado was so much fun!  I almost cried!"



A very fun day, indeed!

Day 105/365~2012

Carter's 6th birthday party was today!
Andrew had such a fun time at this great Lego party planned by my sweet friend, Katie.
The "Fantastic Four" ~ four 6 year old boys all in our small group who will probably go down in Sunday School history at our church ~ were all in attendance.  They are GREAT boys ~ who really enjoy one another.  Sometimes a little too much.  :)  I am truly grateful for the presence of these little boys and their families in Andrew's life.
The details of the party were perfectly tended to and the children all had a ball. We were delighted to get to be a part of such a fabulous & fun party!
Happy Birthday Carter!

Day 104/365 ~ 2012

A treasure is found during Matthew's first little league game.
This little girl loves flowers.

Day 103/365 ~ 2012

A dead battery led to an (almost) one mile (round trip) walk to school.
45 minutes, two little handfuls of flowers and a discussion on what types of flowers we can pick (small, prolific ones) and NOT pick (Daffodils!) later we returned home.
It was lovely though...singing birds, I introduced the kids to pussy willows, and a brisk but dry morning walk...I can think of worse ways to start the day.

Day 102/365 ~ 2012

Matthew's first Little League game is tonight!
Well almost.
Rained out.
We'll try again Friday.

Day 101/365 ~ 2012

Muffins with Mom!
Such a special morning with my sweet girl. I was so looking forward to this day and it was wonderful. Kaitlin's answers to her interview questions....
My Mama is "5" years old.
She looks prettiest when "she cuddles me."
If I had a million dollars I would buy her a...."Cinderella dress." (She says "Cinderlella").
My Mama always says..."I love you."
And inside her card it says "My Mom is special because...." Her answer...
"Because she snuggles me and noseys me." (She always says "Nosie nosie" when she wants to rub noses).
We made the above craft together which is supposed to be us. 
I drew her with her little bow, and she put a headband on me. :)

Day 100/365 ~ 2012

Spring break wrapped up, and Monday morning found me baking 300 blueberry muffins with my friends, Shannon & Katie (and 3 others).   We did it, in just over 2 hours!
Helping to prepare for "Muffins with Mom" at pre-school the following day.
The company made the "work" a lot of fun!
