3/18: nothing like bringing in one of the last days of winter with a little snow!  Not at our house, but Auntie’s house got a little bit!

3/19: T wanted to make sugar cookies with me!  Here she is frosting them.  If you’re wondering why it’s been all about T this week, her brothers were all out of town with Grandpa & Grandma for several day!

3/11: R at his Dad’s first softball game of the season!

3/12: T goofing around for the camera at the boys’ baseball practice

3/13: another no-picture day!

3/14: I saw this idea on Pinterest and T wanted me to make some to hang up at her birthday party!  You just wrap yarn (that you dipped in liquid starch) around a balloon and let it dry, then pop the balloon! So cute

3/15:  Grandma watched the kids for a bit today and when I got there to pick them up, I walked in the door and there were E & R sitting on the couch, looking for Waldo, with E’s arm over R’s shoulder.  Awwww.

3/9: one of those no-picture kinda days, I guess!

3/10: T figured out that she could watch “The Fresh Beat Band” on Netflix today.  That was her FAVORITE show last year (and the year before).  So she watched a few episodes today and she had to bust out the Rock Band drums so that she could be “Marina”.  LOL

2/26: I came upon this battle plan in the boys’ room the other day…

3/3:  T brought me her slingshot pig and asked if I could fix it.  Ummm… I’m not sure how reparable that one is, sweetheart.  LOL

2/19: I took maternity pictures for my sister and her family today.  Good timing because she popped the following week!

2/20: Today I heard the kids laughing hysterically about something, so I walked over and found E reading Dr. Seuss books to the rest of the kids.  He was using different funny voices that were cracking them up!  It totally made my day.

2/21: Today we went out to dinner to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday!  No kids!

2/22: I tried getting another picture of the hummingbird today but it flew away.  But then I noticed the little tiny beak poking out of the top of the nest… little baby bird maybe??

2/14: We all know the way to a man’s heart is his stomach – So I gave my love a crab for Valentine’s Day!  It’s one of his favorites

2/15: Today I noticed a hummingbird hovering under the tree in our front yard.  Then I saw it land … in its nest!!  How cool is that?  I still can’t believe I actually snapped this picture.  Can you see the nest there?

2/16: My sweetheart came over to play with me for a few hours today.  I have the cutest nieces!  And I’m not biased at all.

2/8: I let R & T get slurpees while we waited for the van to get smog-checked.  Check out T’s glowing tongue!

2/9:  Today I was walking between classes (I help out in my kids’ classes one day a week) and I heard the sound of drums coming from the band room so I poked my head in.  E’s band teacher invited me in to sit and watch them practice for a bit.  It was great seeing E in action!

2/10: Today T left on a weekend-long trip with the grandparents.  Here she is giving E a big hug goodbye

2/11:  No picture today

1/29: After my big oops last year with getting my numbering all messed up I decided I better actually use a placecard image to prevent that from happening again if I forget to take a picture!  LOL
