zzzzpring break!

We're hunkered down at home here.  Doing nothing.  It's been good.

Maddie has slept in as long as possible every morning.  She needs better curtains, though.  They let in too much sun.  She did get one of those sleep eye mask things for Christmas and uses it well.

I used to sleep in on Saturdays.  When I was a youth.  I'm grateful for a mother that let me.  I remember getting so annoyed, however, when the someone would start their piano practicing at 10:00!  I still had much sleep in me.  I would grump upstairs and complain to my mother that I was trying to sleep down there.  She would let me know that by 10:00 life would have to go on whether I was awake or not.  10:00!!!  At the time I was incredibly offended.

Selfish, silly youth was I.

10:00!  My mom kept everyone quiet for me until 10:00.  On a Saturday!  What a marvelous lady.

here's s'more

And Carter spent most of the time chopping at this stump.

Cally says it's only funny because I laugh at myself through the whole process of posting.

I do admit that I think I may be my biggest fan when it comes to my funny.  There is a lot of context in my head that you are ~ apparently ~ not privy to.  But just trust me,  I am a HOOT and laugh at my posts.  

Be assured, I am bustin' my own gut.

I get it from my pop.  

sho do.

the joy of food

Mmmmm.  So good.

I think I shall have another.

Yes, that is yet another in my other hand.

Wanna make something of it?

S'MORE PLEASE!!!

good friends

I love good friends.

I have been blessed throughout my life with good good friends.

I hope my kids will always have good friends.

Erin is well on her way.

She sure has fun with these girls.  

And her other bestest friend...I don't have a picture of, but Erin loves her so.

They come up with the funniest games.

For example...

They came with me to one of Carter's baseball practices and it got chilly chilly.

So we piled in the car. 

I started reading a book and looked back after a few minutes and saw the above scene.

She had all the seat belts on and Hope would quiz her on letter names and sounds.  If she got it right one seat belt would come off.

Good thing we'd been practicing.

I love good friends.

on my mind

OH!  I miss that funny girl.  

And I miss her Momma.

Love my Girls!

just guess

Guess what I have in my hand?

Just guess.

Do you even know where to start?

I wont give you any hints until you guess at least 10 times.

This is a FUN FUN FUN new game that is picking up speed in my and my youngest 'punkin's' life.

I get to guess at absolutely EVERYTHING!  Sooooooo fun.

So so So fun.

I'm not very good at the guessing.  She usually has to tell me in the end.
One day, though.  One day.
But it will not be this day.

Guess what is under that coat?

rainy days

So thunderstormy today.  Could have used those super cute boots I coveted for a moment.
