Day 104

My kids have loved the weather the last couple days. We've got to the park several times, done walks, and played outside. Today my daughter played hopscotch... but a little later the rain came and washed away the chalk.

Day 103

We decided to do swim lessons and they started today :)

Day 100

Can you believe it's the 100th day of the year already?

Although I haven't posted every day, it's been fun to see my year progress thru photos. And by the way... those are my soon-to-be new curtains. I bought the fabric today, and can't wait to see the finished product.

Day 99

My beautiful girl LOVES reading her chapter books now. She'll tell me which chapter she's on, how many left, and how fast she read it. She's working on reading lots and lots of books for a school program. She can earn tickets to the baseball game, entries into a savings bond drawing, bracelets, books, and a few other goodies. She's spent a lot of her spring break working on reading.

Day 98

After preschool today I pulled out lots of books that have been hanging out in the basement, in boxes, for awhile. My cute lil man asked me to read this book to him. When I finished, he looked at me very seriously, and said, "I want a muffin." I laughed so hard! That made him sad and cry (I think cuz he got embarrassed). After telling him I thought he was adorable and that's why I laughed, he calmed down and asked me to read the book to him about 5 more times. I think it's his new favorite.

Day 97

It snowed today!

Day 96

So as you can tell.... I've fallen REALLY behind on posting pictures. Most of my pictures are still on my in-laws computer. I forget to bring more than one memory card on vacation with me. So I was clearing off my card every couple of days to their computer. When I left their house to head home, I was having trouble transferring the pictures to a cd. And being gone for 3 weeks left me really behind on lots of things. So I've been trying to catch up on life (and haven't really taken many pictures). Then last week my hubby had some meeting out of town and we decided to go with him. Which was a BLAST! But still added to the craziness of everything. I decided, starting today that I'm just going to move forward. If I get caught up that'd be great. But if I don't, oh well. Just know that we had a great time visiting friends and family on our trip, but at the same time, we were so happy to come home. And I was especially happy to see the snow had melted. (Although we woke up to snow on Sunday). So I switched with another girl for preschool this week. We learned about the number 3. I had the kids make puppets, and we acted out the story of the 3 litte pigs. My daughter was the Big Bad Wolf (she's on spring break). Sometimes it's hard to prepare for preschool, but the kids really are cute, and so much fun. Plus it's really helped my son. I'm greatful this group of moms let me join in the preschool co-op last minute. We've had a great year doing it.

Day 95

My new ride!!!

We purchased bikes for my hubby and I tonight. He has never had one (since we've been married), and mine has been broken since Sept. We drove to Wal-Mart, then had a family bike ride home. It was a little chilly, but still so much fun :)

Day 89

One thing about living here is not having so many options to getting my hair done. I love having several friends who can do my hair for me. While on my trip, one of them did my hair while our kids played together (and I got my brows waxed). We had a fun time, plus she cooked me some awesome dinner! But I did this a few days ago, I figured it was time to share with you all that I changed my hair. It's dark, again, and I LOVE IT!!!

Day 88

It's so nice to be home, and have no snow! My little man got to ride his bike around today (with no jacket on). He talked about his bike almost everyday on our trip. He was so happy to get back to it :) Oh and he was soooo excited when I found this shirt in the laundry. He loves his hand-me-down shirt. This is now his favorite NBA team because he has a shirt to match.
