SUN-day

sometime i think that i should just start an album for pictures i've take while i'm driving. i do it ALL the time. some people text and drive...me? i drive and snap pictures. i get so bummed out if i realize i left my camera a home...and then i use my phone. so here are a few picture from our beautiful sunny sunday!

slithers and snips

my baby moses had a big day today. he had a field trip at school to see the reptile guy. for the most part he was totally FREAKED out. but then comes the 12 foot long snake and suddenly he's happy.

he wants one of his very own to take home now...

then it was time to trim the shaggy dog. he doesn't really like haircuts but it was getting harder and harder for me to comb in the morning. so it just had to go!

before (looking a little worried)

and after looks handsome (and OLD!)

i had a wonderful day with my [not so] little man. it's frightening how fast they grow

p.s. ashley- my spell check just told me i spelled everything right!! woohoo!

sun, soda & squeaks

saturday was a beautiful day...but i had a lot of house cleaning to do to get ready for easter. so while i was busy in the kitchen my boys we're getting into BIG trouble in the garage. moses found pliers and an old case of root beer and squeezed 5 cans of pop until they burst and in the end there was a lake of root beer in my garage. (oh, this all happened while solomon was sitting RIGHT there) they were BOTH in HUGE trouble.

just part of the mess:

just one of the cans (with some mess in the background)

the only thing that kept me from losing it was the warm sun when we went out to vacuum the car the car thermometer told me it was SEVENTY DEGREES!!! yay for spring

then while finishing my cleaning i found a mini choclate bar behind a chair in the living room (it's pretty much where the boys build forts and hide when they're eating candy that they're not suppose to have) so upon closer inspection i noticed that there were VERY little teeth marks in it...like super duper small...like a MOUSE! gross! i must have some FAT mice in my house. time for some more traps!

easter turned out to be rainy but we made the best of it. with church and lots of family time. i got the boys little baskets (and then my mom got them HUGE baskets) but i loved these pictures of the boys getting their baskets when the first woke up.

solly's face is so cute & i love their sleepy hair

i love, love, love moses hair. man, he NEEDS a haircut in a bad way!



*          *          *

i'm getting out of my funk and starting to feel more human again. more like a mom. more like a wife. more like i can take on the world.

thank you for your prayer. God is working on me.

a wise rabbit once said...

..."If you can't say something nice, don't say nothin' at all"

and that's been my philosophy this week. that's why i haven't blogged. my mind is just too full of frustration and i just don't have anything nice to say.

i need prayer.

*          *          *

ok, so i have one (or two) nice things to say. the weather (for the most part...beside the few snow flurries) has been fabulous this week!

i know i have a million things to be thankful for and i am. it's just been a challenging week.

eggs!

yesterday after service our church had an easter egg "hunt" (i think it should've been called an easter egg "dash" there was no need to hunt for these eggs they were just scattered on a field) there were about 3000 eggs for the kids. it was like a mini stampede.

moses running for some eggs:

here's one!:

both the boys finding eggs:

moses with his stash afterwards:
