A full weekend

Tis the season for campfire permits and hot dogs cooked on sticks! First one of the year hip hip HOORAY!

I love that Defense has his mouth open too... bah!

after rest time we went to the Trem's for an egg hunt... nothing like getting a practice run in before the REAL one :)

plus the fact that poor Minnie is six and she's only done ONE OTHER one in her entire life ;) I'm making up for lost time :)

Speedy sisters :)

After the hunt kiddos played, adults hung out, we all enjoyed some pizza and snacks and then headed on to our NEXT adventure...

Supporting our friends and their science projects!! :)

On Sunday, what Husband THOUGHT might be a "big" rock, turned into a GIANT rock, a huge hole and a lot of excitement!

Gotta love spring weekends in the woods....

Randoms and Boy-zs

how much longer will she be able to pick up her pooch? :)

1/2 day from school, a sweet visit...

and a BABY TO SNUGGLE!

Happy Big Girls!!!

and on Friday sweet baby Nora's cousins came to play!

Their Mommy had a conference so she dropped them off after lunch... they both took AWESOME naps (Miss B too!)

had a snack and headed outside to play until their Daddy came to pick them up...

I wish you could hear the giggles... :)

So happy for the anticipation of spring and outside play!

1st time for everything... on Sunday my big girl was invited to the birthday party of a girl in her class (as well as her twin sister :) It was at Chuck E Cheese in the neighboring state and it was the first time for both my girls. ;) They LOVED it....

Miss B was TERRIFIED of course of the big giant dressed up mouse and this particular ride that she didn't know was going to buck and move all over the place... :)

but they had a BLAST and although it is definitely not MY thing I can see why kiddos love it and would def. keep it in my back pocket for a rainy day :) maybe.

especially when I got results like this on the way home ;)

Doin' the days....

We once took a dog to the self-serve dog wash... do you remember that? (Click HERE) feels like forever ago... but it all came back when we tried it again last night. Poor Defense was getting pretty stinky and muddy (because we have had about 17 mud seasons so far and I don't think we are done with them yet...) it was time... I found a place not far that charges $10 and you don't have to bring anything except your really stinky, dirty dog. Awesome.

I think in the picture above MC was just sad she couldn't quite reach... stool for her next time... Minnie did a great job with the back end ;)

she was read to... and now she's "reading" to :) yes we do sport a watch on one wrist and a bracelet on the other all before 6:45 AM :)

Our school dayz this week took us on a field trip to the "Invention Convention" at Daddy's school... such a fun thing to see the projects these kids have come up with on how to invent something to fix a "problem" they see. My personal favorite may have been the boy who made robotic arms to do chores. ;) just tell the arms what you want them to do... dishes, vacuum, etc. and they do it. AWESOME. SIGN.ME.UP.
