Back in February, Josh had his 1/2 birthday party. I, of course, forgot my camera so this is the one and only shot I have from our Hawkeye birthday party!!!
I've never really been a girly girl. So now that I have two girls of my own...I've been trying to figure out how to do their hair. I obviously don't do much with mine so when they ask for "braids" I panic a little. And THEN when you throw in curly hair to the mix....I'm completely lost.
On a side note, I absolutely adore Ella's hair. But that child does not feel the same way. Each and every morning when I ask her what she wants me to do with her hair for the day she says, "I want it straight." :-( This is Ella watching Annie intently. And still utterly convinced it is her in the movie!
This past weekend, Mother's Day, we had to go to Sam's for a big "stock up" shopping trip. Ella was obviously pooped out after the whole experience and didn't quite make it home before naptime started.
That evening we took advantage of the amazing weather and went and got a little ice cream snack. While Ella and I saved a patio table I got a lil' shot of my youngest baby and me!!!
And finally, I had gone to the Farmer's Market last Saturday on my way home from workout and picked up a few flowers for my front pot. As soon as I got home the three kids were more than happy to help me get a little dirty and replant the new flowers. Even though I think we got more dirt on ourselves than in the pot....I think they turned out nice!!
Other than that....not much else is going on. Lauren does have her first loose tooth so we are on High Tooth Fairy Alert. I started with a personal trainer last week and am slowly becoming acquainted with new muscles I never knew I had before. ;-) Lauren is getting excited for birthday party on the 2nd. I, however, do not look so forward to turning yet another year older. Josh is busy playing basketball every night and looking forward to a new summer basketball camp in a few weeks. And Ella is 100% potty trained - both at day AND night!! So we are officially a DIAPER free household!! You have NO idea how excited that makes me! The first time I ran to the store and didn't have to buy Pull-ups I did the same dance I danced after I threw all the bottles away. Dustin and I each get new cars this spring, as well. The van was on it's last leg and we decided it was time we could finally move down to cars again. Dustin got a Chevy Impala and I got a VW Jetta. The gas mileage on each of the cars alone makes me glad we made the change!
Hope all the mothers out there had a GREAT Mother's Day! I know I did!!
