My kids vs. the MUD

We were home all day yesterday, bored of course, so when my kids went out to play in the mud...I let them. Granted, I didn't know that is what they were doing at the time. Once I realized what they were doing, the damage was already done. But...there was no anger on my part, even though they know they are NOT supposed to play in the mud. Some days you have to pick your battles. My kids had a lot of fun. I guess sometimes I need to remember to let my kids be kids!

The end result of Rai and Logan...regardless of what you might think, Logan did not roll around in the mud.

Jocy was trying to "muddy up" Logans bad guy. She wanted to be like her big brother.

Where to Begin???

Um...It has been way too long and I have so many pictures to post that this blog is going to overloaded with info. Sorry!

EASTER

The kids and I went over to Lissa's House to decorate cookies the day before Easter. Jocy didn't decorate, but she had a lot of fun licking all of the frosting off of the cookie!

NEW CHAIRS

OK...They are not technically new, but they are new to me! I was sick of looking at my nasty dirty chairs, so Lissa talked me into buying some fabric from Joanne's at 50% off and recovering them. I love it! I bought some plastic to go over them as well so there will be no more stained chairs and a lot of easy clean up!

Before....I probably shouldnt have posted a picture of the before chair because it is so gross. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little embarrased! so...I will have no judging! :)

After....I love it!

Rai turned 4 the end of March. I think she had a pretty good birthday!

( Don't mind the messy face!)

The Donut Cake...It did NOT turn out as planned. It was supposed to be a barbie cake, but turned out looking like a giant donut. At least Rai liked it right?

Lissa called me the week before Easter will a brilliant idea to make the girls Easter dresses. She thought of up the pattern, I came over and we got to work. We worked all day putting the dresses together. We tried the dress on Rai and realized we forgot to cut a little bigger for a seam allowance. Oops! They ended up with Easter skirts instead, but they were still really cute!

My girls and their Lila.

This picture is random, but I thought it was funny. Logan and Amber were playing Mario on the Wii. Can you tell they are related??!

We went to Freestone Park a few weeks ago for Jades birthday. The kids had a lot of fun playing at the park and I had a lot of fun eating bees. Seriously.

I had put my soda down on the table for a minute. When I picked it up again, I shook it around to make sure that no bees had wandered into the can. Well, apparently that is not the thing to do. I drank it for a few minutes satisfied that their were no bees. Afterall. none came flying out of the can when I shook it. When I finished off the last bit of the soda, I ended up with something lumpy in my mouth. I freaked out , and spit it out....and this is what I found! I dont know how I didnt get stung. Anyway...lesson learned. Dont shake the can to make sure there are no bees in it.
