the calendar reads June...
the kids REALLY don't have any interest in homework...
the slip n slide makes it's first appearance...
new swimsuits are revealed...
the big guns come out...
evenings on the porch are being enjoyed...
and baseball games are in full swing...
the long weekend was amazing, but unfortunately our boys have school until June 8th... I think we're all ready for some lazy days ahead!
It's Memorial Day weekend again & every year I can think of so many things that I want to do, but usually don't get too many accomplished! Pretty much I'm just hoping to enjoy the weather, my family & relax, but there are a few things I REALLY want to do! So here's my top picks for this weekend:
tonight:
a date with my hubby & seeing this...
please??? I'm starting to forget what he looks like... so I'm thinking we're due for this!
Saturday... outside time or maybe a little shopping & then celebrating with family my nephew's high school graduation!!!
Sunday... family time, visiting Dan's mom at the hospital {please pray for her comfort & for our entire family... it has been a rough several weeks} & just some relaxing time at home :)
Monday... enjoy NOT working or going to school!!! maybe we'll fit in a trip for ice cream!!!
Have a wonderful, enjoyable, relaxing & safe weekend everyone :)
There was a lot of anticipation for this little lady about some bunny coming & leaving some eggs & candy. We started with our local egg hunt on Saturday... she decided that she would search out all the plastic eggs & skip over all the other candy.
as for Evan, he just went for it all!!! But he was polite enough to throw some of it back for some kids who got there late & share some with Collin & Lydia as well.
Easter Sunday we started with an early mass & then hosted a brunch with my family. The big kids hid the eggs... I'm guess Alec thought they needed a challenge!
cousins :) They just crack me up when they get together.
Collin found his 6 eggs first, so he got the bonus egg with $2 in it! There favorite eggs are the ones with money in them...
Evan checking his loot.
EXCITED!!!
listening for money... I think the kids re-hid Lydia's eggs 3 more times. She LOVES hunting eggs! She also wanted to call the Easter bunny to see if he could bring her some more candy. We were continually looking in the yard to see if more had appeared :)
all in all, it was a perfect day with our family.
I LoVe my boys
& I LoVe my little giRL
& most especially, I LoVe YoU... my sweetie :)
xxxooo kisses & hugs to all
Okay, so I'd been seeing some of these ideas for a while & was itching to try them out. I created some simple toppers for each of the boys with their names on the back. We filled these cute bags {Target dollar rack 20 for $1} with kisses, smarties, m&m's & simply cut, folded & stapled the toppers to the top of the bags. For Lydia & her little friends we used the same bags, but tied some cute polka dot ribbon around the tops. We also made some cupcakes with pink frosting & red & white heart sprinkles {she loved putting on the sprinkles}. Another idea I had seen while looking at party idea blogs was how they were taking plain water bottles & making personalized labels. This was soooo easy. Again, simple artwork, print, cut & I used my hot glue gun to attach these labels. I also decided to attach them to the cutest little cans of Sprite. So yes, last night was a marathon of getting these things done, but the Collin & Evan had so much fun helping out. The best part... Evan told me that he was going to show everyone & tell them that his mom is a genius :) Love ya buddy.
