You Know its Finals Time When:

It is midnight, there are a million PowerPoint handouts sprawled all around me (which I am clueless to what any of the accounting information ACTUALLY means), there is a half drunk Coke on the table, and Grey not only is NOT asleep but is DESTROYING his room, my room and the study room aka the kitchen. One day I will look back on this situation and smile.....maybe.

BACKHAND SPRING!!!!

Lucy did it last night by herself!!!!! So proud of you Lu! She has been in gymnastics for about two months-but apparently she is pretty good at it. Her coach wants her to join the competitive team. But all that really matters is that Lucy really likes it-so I really like it too.

TRAMPOLINE

Gpa put the trampoline today. I was gone from 8am to 9:30pm so when we FINALLY got home around 10pm I had to try it out. Of course the kids had to help me :)

Backpack, Backpack

Man I love my boy. Tonight he was so excited to show me what he had packed in his backpack: two yogurts, one yogurt smoothie, and a V8. All to take to Dad's house. Grey was wondering when summer would finally get here so he could go to Dad's house. I didn't have the heart to tell him his food would be spoiled by the time summer came. Fortunately, about a minute later he decided it would be okay if he ate one of the yogurts, and then another. I don't think I have to worry about it spoiling... Sweet little boy

Randoms

First: 5 children is just about the right number for the backseat of any car.

Second: I dread the day when Grey's feet are too big to fit into his pirate rain boots. He wears them rain, snow, sleet, or shine. Pure awesomeness.

Third: OF COURSE I left my child ride his bike without a helmet, in his pajamas, with rain boots, at night when he should be in his bed asleep. DUH what kind of mother do you think I am anyways?

Fourth: Cousins' Sleepover-just one of the girls!

Beauty and The Beast

Nope not these two....well not exactly heehee

Yes, this Beauty and The Beast. Lucy was a Dancing Napkin in her school play. She was also a town's person. She was sooo cute up there! I have never seen a better dancing napkin-FOR REALS!


Adam flew up for the weekend so he could witness the budding star. We decided to celebrate Easter a little early so he could partake of the festivities. The first pic of this post was of the kids dying eggs. It was a little stressful but ended well. The next morning they woke up to an egg hunt. I had hid a message in one egg that lead them on a scavenger hunt till at they end found a trampoline in the garage. Yeah this Mama rocks :)




Best Easter EVER! After the hunt and eating too much chocolate, we went on a hike.




Dad was pretty excited to buy Grey his first pair of Salomons-I think the thing that has surprised me most about Adam having a son is how he likes to have Grey and him wear matching clothes. Cracks me up :) It will be a sad day when Grey decides he is too cool to dress just like Dad.

My Day:

Was GREAT! I went to spin class-first time since the feets surgery. It made me feel not just normal again, but powerful. I have MISSED that feeling. I got a txt from my amazing Dallas bestie-always makes my day a little better when I hear from K. I did some Easter shopping, picked Grey up from school, did a little more shopping, then went home. I cleaned (whole house is sparkling) while Grey had a friend over (LOVE when I get to be home so the kids get to have friends over). Both kids had gymnastics, Lucy had a school play performance (Beauty and the Beast and Grey sat on my lap the whole time and snuggled), then ice cream from Baskin Robbins to celebrate. Came home, bathed kids, wrote a paper, and not its time for sleep. Exhausting, wonderful day.
