First of March

Kyle's 47th birthday was on March 2.  We had lots of fun celebrating him!  The kids got him the dice game, Orlog, and I got him a kit for smoking cocktails.  Jed also got some trail mix from the workroom at school and decided he wanted to save it for Kyle.  He wrapped it himself for a special gift just from him.  

We were all feeling better by this point and I got tickets for Kyle and I to attend a whiskey tasting at the Sycamore Farms Red Barn.  We went with out friends, Becky and Mike Farrell.  It was a fun night. 

Peggy and Reid had us over for a birthday dinner and Louie modeled his new hat for us....

Just a sweet picture of my children looking at a book together....


I took a French cooking class with my friend Sarah.  I still hadn't fully recovered my sense of taste at this point, but it was a delightful night anyway. 

Sweet, fluffy little Cookie enjoying some spring sunshine...

A picture of a chocolate bar in a wrapper with the word chocolate written underneath.  I LOVE being a witness to all he is learning.

They both think that the grass is greener on the other side....

School Holiday Fun

South School is a really exciting place around the holidays!  We had different dress up days all the week leading up to Christmas break.  Here we are on holiday accessory day!  One day the week leading up to break, our principal, Mrs. Morgan found me in the hallway and told me I needed to drop everything and report to the office.  When I got there I found the rest of the 1st grade teachers there too!  She told us she was taking us on a little getaway.  We boarded the school's short bus where Christmas music was blaring and were driven to McDonalds to get whatever drink we wanted.  While we were gone she had aides covering our classrooms.  It was such a fun surprise.  She told us how much she appreciates all we have done during this super challenging school year, and this was just a little something special.  Evangeline participated in the locker decorating contest.  She had such fun bringing her supplies and getting it done during h...

Cozy at Home

Snow day painting...dreaming of all the flowers in my garden....I have a bunch of old frames so I'm putting a collage of my painted flowers in my bathroom.  It's a cheery touch.  I pulled out some of my old cozy knits I did years ago.  Evangeline loved them!  Pickles did too.  Jed had to join in the fun sporting a toddler sweater...I'm glad they both appreciate those kinds of things...

Down Time

Evangeline was chomping at the bit to use some of her money to go buy a case for her new phone.  We went to TH to look around and then made a stop at Starbucks.  Evangeline felt like a big kid.  We had a fun girls outing.  She wanted to sit inside Starbucks and cuddle on a couch drinking our beverages together.  It was a special moment for me too.  This girl is growing up into such a delightful young lady.   We tried real hard to give our money to an actual shop to purchase the case, but no one had anything that would work.  We ended up resorting to Amazon.  She was really pleased when her sparkly pink case with a heart shaped pop socket arrived in the mail.  The rest of the week was spent lounging around doing all the things we love to do at home.  My nephew's, Cale and Liam came for a sleepover.  We all had so much fun with them!  Jed was of course in his happy place with Cale there to play with.  Evangeline an...
