What She Wore Wednesday

Yeah, I'm late. Get over it.  :)

Nothing too special this week...just your average cutie patootie.

She was mid-hissy fit because I was getting ready to leave, but she stopped long enough to smile for the camera. lol

Two Things Tuesday

My friend Rachel over at The Boni Bunch always does “Two Things Tuesday” and since I’m running out of original ideas, I thought I would give it a shot.



1. I love it that Randy took the three big boys with him to the fire station tonight. It gave me an excuse not to cook, since they had to hurry and picked up supper on the way.

2. I loved our mini-playdate with Rachel & her bunch and Tami (and Graham) and their girls. Abby especially liked their pretty chairs.

Care Packages

So Jacob's Nana (Mary) likes to send us goodies. Our Easter box came today! I was every bit as excited as the kids. There is almost always a little bit of home cookin' in there.

She and Devon are so sweet- they always include all of the kids, even though Jacob is the only one I would expect them to buy for. It certainly makes MY life easier that they buy for everyone!

The babies had their first Peeps!

And we ate at the dinner table again tonight. Our kitchen is really too small, but we occasionally make the effort to squeeze everyone in. It's nice to sit and have a conversation without a tv, computer, or video game interrupting. I think we'll try this more often.

And- how could I forget?- the twins turn 15 months old today! They are growing up so fast!

Easter Sunday

We had a great - and very laid back - Easter. There was just too much rain to have it any other way.

Fortunately, the Bunny has a practical side, so our baskets are actually storage cubes.

Awww...love the baby...

Awww....love the baby...CHOMP! (She does a lot of kiss-kiss-BITE right now. Ugh.)

I did make what I consider our traditional Easter meal- scalloped potatoes & ham. I forgot my leftovers for lunch today, but I'll be sure to take them tomorrow!

One quick story (this will be a repeat for my Facebook friends)- Jackson and I were lying in bed Easter morning, talking about the reason we celebrate Easter. He chimed in with, "it's okay- he came back alive again." I said, "Yes, but he didn't know that when they hung him on the cross." "Oh, he was very daring then!" Ummm...yep, a real Evel Knievel. Jeesh. Nothing like missing the whole point. Boys will be boys.

Hope you and your family had a wonderful, blessed Easter, too!

Saturday's Post - Egg Hunt

Saturday we went to the first ever Rolling Hills Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary Egg Hunt. (Whew, that's a mouthful...or a handful I guess, in this case.)

It went pretty well, I thought. Abby didn't get any eggs, but two other little girls were kind enough (with some encouragement) to share theirs. Jacob won a gift certificate to a local hamburger place that I haven't tried yet. I'll let you know how that goes.

Jacob picked up trash while he was out there gathering eggs. lol

Friday's Post- Land Run Day

Pretend it's Friday- work with me here.

I had the day off for Good Friday, but the kids still had school.

It was Oklahoma Land Run day for Jackson. They emulate the way they chose plots of land when they settled Oklahoma. It's cute and they always have fun. Don't get me started on the people who snuck out the night before the original Land Run to claim plots of land- it should be Oklahoma "Cheaters" not "Sooners"... just sayin'.

Could he be any cuter??

This is what happens when you give the camera to a 6 year old.

Jackson's friend, Taylor. Apparently Taylor talks about Jackson "all the time." Her Mom's words, not mine.

Chillin'.

And there was a pushing match between two little girls to see who got to stand in line by Jackson. He ended up in the middle- looking a little wide-eyed. lol

Legos!

Turns out, Abby knows how her Legos work. She's growing too fast. It was fun for me to see that she knows which way is "up" before she even tries to put them together.

Abby has a binky in this picture. It's ONLY because she's sick and it soothes her. We are now down to only using binkies at nap or bedtime for the most part. Should be ready to lose them altogether before their 2nd birthdays- I hope!

We're still feeling puny, so I'm headed to bed.
