Spring Break

We are doing it...we're going on a road trip.  The Nintendos have been charged, the CD's picked out and bags packed. The route has been plotted on our map and the kids have their "seat" picked out.  We've been craving warmth and sun; frozen custard and burnt shoulders.  We're driving down south in hopes to get a taste of what we crave.  Wish us luck!

Visit

Two of my sisters and my sister-in-law came to visit me last weekend.  We had a blast and laughed a lot.  We ate a lot and played a lot...come to think of it, we didn't sleep much.  It was such a great weekend.  My sister Jennifer has the craziest stories and Amber has a great laugh. Janette is so generous and thoughtful even though she has a little OCD.  I love my sisters.  I hope Julie can come next time!

This is where we had breakfast...best Eggs Benedict on the planet.

The gang and our friend Erin.  She's been a good friend for 30 years?!

 

I know...a weird place to shop but we all like to cook and entertain so this was a favorite.

 We get things like these to help us package food to take to friends and neighbors.

 

Two of my favorite people.  Oh my, we were laughing all weekend.

 

 An injury while making our jewelry frame.  David yanked out the wire and all was well (I hope).

 

My beautiful sister and her jewelry frame.  Looks great! Until next time ladies.

My little Leprachaun Boys

Look how festive my little guys were on St. Patrick's Day.  After I picked Drew up from school, we went to the grocery store and all the little old ladies ooohhhed and aaaahhhed at his little outfit.  Of course Drew was a little gentleman and flirted with the ladies.  One day I know they won't wear what I lay out for them so I'm holding on to moments like these.

I also made green eggs and...bacon for the boys to share with their friends at school.  To get the full recipe go to:  http://www.everythingtoentertain.com/2011/03/green-eggs-and-bacon.html

Growing Family

We  just got our family photos.  These are the people I love more than anything in the world.  

My kids are getting so big...and I'm getting so old.  

When did this happen?

Andrew is 4 now and not my baby any more.

 This is my artist Nate.  He is such a sweet boy.

 

Morgan is growing so beautiful.  What a great help she is to her parents...and talented too!

Snowing!

Today is March 6th.  Why on earth is it snowing?  I need sun.  I need Vitamin D.  I need a tan, flip flops, shorts...I need Hawaii.  I'm going back to bed.
