Spring Time is in the Air!

Two of my most favorite seasons have to be Spring and Fall! And I am loving this spring weather! It's sooooooooooo nice! It's rainy, cool in the mornings, breezy, perfect in the afternoons, and sunny! Love it! And the kids and I are trying to make the most of it!

Yesterday, as soon as it quit raining and hailing, the sun greeted us with open arms and invited us outside to play! And we jumped on it! 1st we threw on some painting clothes and started painting John's old work bench that he said we could us for our gardening work. The girls had a blast! When John got home I told him about all the flowers and rainbows that we were going to paint on his work bench...he said,"That ain't my workbench anymore with rainbows and flowers..." It was really too cute the way he said it!

Anyways, after that, the girls blew bubbles, did some sidewalk chalk art, planted sunflowers and herbs, rode their big wheels, and hula hooped, and then we all racked up leaves and started on cleaning up the yard!

Our seeds to plant and African Violet clippings to be transplanted into some dirt! Pre-baby and when owning a home was new and fun, John and I had the BEST herb garden ever! This year we are going to attempt it again!

I love spring time toys! I love all the bright colors! Makes me happy!

Presley traced Juliet....

and put on the final perfect touch!

I love potting soil! Makes me happy too!

The start of our new herb garden! I can't wait to be able to cook with these puppies!

This herb garden is being put together with a little TLC ...

And topped off with a little sweetness. It's gonna be great!

We came in about 630 in the evening and I bathed those dirty children and gave them a nice much needed haircut! Especially Presley. She loves my "Princess" cuts!

And John, being such a sweet hubby, brought home dinner so I didn't have to cook! Wheh...I was so happy! Mickey D's! Yum!

Then the girls were put down with a story, lullaby, guitar lesson, and a few tucks from dad they were quickly off to sleep.

It was a great day!

AND THEN TODAY.........Was also wonderful! The girls got to hang out with their cousins and grandma. We went to the library story time, where they read stories, danced, sang, and did a craft. Then we ate at Chic-Fil-A, where we met the cow! THEN we went to the park and walked around the ponds and soared like birdies, sang songs, did some pencil rolls, and did a whole lot of red lighting.... After our walk, we played in the playground for a while.

This was HUGE accomplishment for Presley! I took 3 tries and she made it all the way across! GO PRESLEY!

I hope our spring time fun never ends!

Why Do I Have to Pick a Team????

Alrighty now....it's official. I actually went to the theater yesterday where I met up with Liza and Karen to watch New Moon! We are a real pack of "Twlight Mom's" now! And I don't regret it a single bit! The acting still left much to be desired, but it was easily overlooked by Edwards sexy crooked smile and his eyes that were made just for me (atleast that what he tells me in my daydreaming sessions) and Jacobs washboard abs that Liza and I are going to wash clothes on in the rain! All we can do is sigh and smile. A very happy satisfied smile just thinking of those two.

When I got home, John and Meagan asked the questions, "So are you for Team Edward or for Team Jacob?" I hadn't known I had to pick a side. My response, "I swing both ways when it comes to Edward and Jacob!" Why do I have to choose a side anyways? Although, in a crunch, I like Bella may have to end up with Edward. He's so dreamy!

Here's us moms after the show...The boys made us so happy!!

It's What Weekends Were Made For....

What a weekend...it was a great one. We didn't accomplish much house work this weekend. But that's okay, we had a whole lot of fun doing other things.

Saturday, we woke up and headed to downtown Carrollton to a nice little tea shop for some vanilla tea that tastes like your drinking a vanilla cigar. It doesn't sound good, but it really did taste good. I enjoyed a couple of cups of that this weekend. And while walking around down there, we spotted a sign for the best walk ever! I'm gonna have to gather a few girls up and go check it out!

After visiting Old Downtown Carrollton we headed to Down Town Dallas to uncle Roberts shop! And I tell you.....who needs a backyard when you have the city to play in! The girls had soooo much fun playing with their cousin Brandon. By the way, that little boy is such a gentleman and a sweetheart!

We walked around the corner to 7-Eleven for some gum and a slurpee. YUM!

John entertaining the kids

Guys hard at work!

Work is all done...time to play.

Richard and his baby....

Uncle Robert and his baby....

The little kids were so cute watching the big kids playing in the street!

Piper wanted be in the drivers seat every time! She's gonna give John and I so much trouble as a teen! I can see it now!

Look at that smile...spells T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

After hanging out with Robert, Richard, and Brandon, we were suppose to of met up with everyone for a birthday lunch for my mom, but she wasn't feeling well so it gone postponed at the last minute. So we decided to take the girls to the zoo since it was such an amazingly beautiful day!

After the zoo, we headed home to get a little house work done. John sprayed texture in the girls playroom. The darn thing kept getting clogged and then he ran out of texture to mix. Never again will we own a fixer upper!

After house work, John and I facebooked and watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. Why do most of vampires have to be ridiculously hot????

SUNDAY OH SWEET SUNDAY!!!!

I saw NEW MOON in the theater with Liza and Karen!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Since in my daydreams I am Bella, Edward told me that I was his heaven!!!! Oh how sweet is that! And last week, I finally got to the library to check out the 1st book in the series. 1/2 way done with Twilight. It'll be done by tomorrow, I am sure of it!

After spending the afternoon with Edward, Jacob, and Bella, I headed home to John, Meagan, and the girls. We went to Moo-Yah for dinner and then headed back up to theater to see Princess and the Frog.

It was a great weekend. And a great end to February. It was a pretty good month with the exception that John had to leave town for Valentines weekend!

Story Time!

We had the best time last night with the girls at the Coppell Public Library!

We are just now starting to check out what the community has to offer. So I went on-line to find out what the library out here did for kids. I found 2 different story times that they could participate in together. So from now one, we'll be there every Tuesday at 7pm & Thursday at 1030am.

We had a great time last night there! They have an entire room devoted just for story time. That was an entire hour of songs, reading, dancing & wiggling, and crafts! Last nights theme was farm animals. The girls had so much fun.

They got an hour of story time there, then checked out books and got more story time when I dropped John off with the girls at home. I had to head to the store so he put them down to sleep by himself.

Anyways, I was thoroughly impressed!

Also this week, we have gone and toured the local YMCA and the Coppell Rec Center. We have free guest passes for both and are trying to decide which to join. They both have it's perks. Anyway suggestions??????
