A Revelation

If I were only allowed to use one word to describe my life, I would have to choose "Gooey". Why you may ask? This was inspired by trying to have a tea party with Bella this afternoon. I went to pull the bin out of our toy closet that had all the food and tea sets in it. As I grabbed it, my had was instantly covered in goo. How in the world "goo" was in my closet all over the bin, I have no idea. The entire lid was covered! This is a closet that would in no way be able to generate any known type of goo. The bin was located under our hanging coats, you tell me how that happened.

As I look back on my short existence as a mother, I would have to say that my life now consists of all kinds of "goo". My clothes for instance always seem to have something gooey on them. Not a stain, not a spot but goo. My windows, tables and chairs all end up covered by a slight child created film on them. I never in my life thought a human being could create so much "goo" out of every opening of their body. My children are gooey! Therefore I as their mother I am also gooey.

Just thought you might like to know what is currently on my mind....

Story Time

We had an impromptu dinner with some friends which ended in a very nice story time. Our friend Leah was recruited to read to all the kids. Why is Cameron naked you ask? We had fun with watermelon before story time.

Fun with Ice Cream

Being the crazy parents that we are, we allowed our kids to eat chocolate covered ice cream cones in the car. Amazingly enough we had no disasters! Bella of course was very neat and tidy, taking care not to miss a piece. Cameron was a different story, I had to sacrifice my sweatshirt but he managed to keep it all within his personal space. Who knew ice cream could be such an experience....

Gardening with Daddy

Bella and Daddy decided to plant the Easter Lilies we received as gifts in the front yard.

What a little gardener she is turning out to be. The care she takes is really amazing.

And if you look closely, you will notice the diva sunglasses paired with the heart pj bottoms. She can garden like no other but dressing herself is a different story...

Beautiful!!!!!

The Tulip Festival

Cameron kept wanting to smell the tulips, He looked so small among them. They were as tall as him.

What you can't see in this picture is the tractor that Cam is so facinated by.

Bella's favorite were the red ones. It must be her passionate side....

"Bella, don't walk in the puddle!"....How could any kid resist? Are we cool parents or what?

A fun kite show was more exciting than the tulips, Bella wanted to catch them.

Coming home from Easter...

The let down, I guess the candy high didn't last as long as we thought it would. I think this was maybe after five minutes on the road.

Easter!

Happy Easter to all! This year we had a fabulous time at "Gramma & Papa's" house. Our friends Ben and Rose were able to join us for the easter egg hunt which made it all the more fun.

A little help from daddy for Cam. He was more interested in the pond inside the greenhouse.

Bella leading the troops of course, yes all those eggs had candy in them. (What were we thinking?)

Basket time was of course one of the highlights. By the time we left, I think enough candy was consumed to keep little bodies going for days before the sugar high wore off.
